Hi.

  1. Which result would you like to have? Add rows from gridB into gridA and print it?
    Or print gridA and starting from new page gridB in PDF?

Unforunately there is no easy way to realize this both functionalities. For do that you should modify code.

  1. To add custom titles and nodes into pdf you should modify source code.
    2.1) Open gridPdfGenerator.php and edit it like here
.....
if ((($this->header)&&($pageNumber == 1))||($this->pageHeader)) {
	$this->wrapper->drawImgHeader($this->headerFile, $this->headerImgHeight);
}
$this->wrapper->drawCustom();
.....

2.2) Open gridPdfWrapper.php and modify it like here

		} else {
			return 'transparent';
		}
	}

	public function drawCustom() {
		// some custom code to draw enything you want
	}
}


?>

2.3) Visit http://tcpdf.com and look at documentation for tcpdf library. After that you can write you custom code in drawCustom method. To get tcpdf object you can use $this->cb and do with it anything you like.
