How to get .PDF file after exporting Data Table Data?

[Pranay_Krishna]

i want to convert .csv file to .pdf file after using the export widget.

Hi @Pranay_Krishna.

This is actually outside of the ThingWorx application.  However, there are a number of ways to generate a pdf.  For example, one option is to print to a .pdf file.  There are also third party utilities that will allow you to handle this conversion.

Perhaps someone else in the community can suggest a specific product.

PTC cannot make recommendations on third party products.

hi @slangley 

my query is that while we are using export widget in mashup we can directly export to .csv file but is there any other widget to convert to .pdf file after exporting.

from the customer end when he click on the export button i need to download .pdf instead of .csv file.

Hi @Pranay_Krishna.

So to confirm, you actually want to export in a .pdf format instead of .csv, correct?  What is the content of the .pdf?  Is it a screenshot or data related?

If you wish to export to a .pdf format, you will need to look into writing your own extension.  Here are some links to help:

Hi @Pranay_Krishna.

At this time, PTC does not offer a widget to allow generation of content in a .pdf format.  Please refer to my previous response with links to assist you in writing your own widget.
