The table tools functionalities are based on a 3rd party HTML5 library and they are not customizable. Unfortunately, the library allows very little “fine-tuning” of the generated files, so font, size, and other properties cannot be changed.
There are some limitations in this library we will emphasize for your awareness:
Generated PDF, XLS, CSV are not customizable. Unfortunately, the library allows very little “fine-tuning” of the generated files, so font, size, and other properties cannot be changed (but the title can – see below).
Exporting images is not possible at the moment, but you are able to export them as HTML with the new “Include HTML” option.
The “Include HTML” option will allow you to export columns that contain HTML (such as link, image, email, attachment, or HTML). They will be rendered as HTML in the exported files of the CSV, Excel, Print, and Copy options.
This option is currently not available for the PDF export option.
Please note that you should check this functionality on the front-end since if you use this option in the back-end the buttons in headers will be rendered as HTML as well.

If you wish better PDF functionalities, our advice would be to acquire something like the WP Advanced PDF plugin, which offers a lot more options when creating PDF files from our tables, along with other content on your website.
When printing or pdf export, image column is blank. Please help asap
