Export to PDF not honouring column widths

Scheduler Javascript
#1

Hi,

I am trialing export to PDF for the scheduler timeline view.
Our scheduler has defined column widths, however the column widths are not be honoured in the export, as exported scheduler is stretching to fill the full width of the output page.

Is it possible to retain our defined column widths in the exported PDF?

We have trialled the setting additional_settings:{width:“content”}, however the service times out.

Hello @uxplease ,

Probably the issue occurs on the scrollable timeline when the schedule takes part of the screen?

This can pass styles of the scheduler container in the header parameter of the export method:

function exp(){
  var header = `
<style>

.dhx_cal_container{
width:80% !important;
height: !important;
}
</style>

  scheduler.exportToPDF({
    name: "myscheduler.pdf",
    header: header,
  });
}

Here is a demo, where the scheduler keeps its width and columns width during export:

Hi @Siarhei
I have tried your snippet, however the export is still not honouring the property column_width. Can you please confirm how to ensure the export honours column_width?

Hi @uxplease,

O sorry for my mistake. Currently, there is no way to export the scrollable timeline as it is(with saved column width).
I reported it to our dev team, and they will work on a fix, unfortunately, there is no ETA.
