Export Data to PDF from jqxGrid failed ?

[kamelotParticipant]

I’m exporting my grid data into pdf, like in this demo example : http://www.jqwidgets.com/jquery-widgets-demo/demos/jqxgrid/#demos/jqxgrid/dataexport.htm.
I was able to download it successfully but I got the warning

“Resource interpreted as Document but transferred with MIME type application/octet-stream: “https://localhost/save-file”
jqxgrid-all.js?bust=1442521930240:732

and when I tried to open the PDF, it was blank with “Failed to load PDF document”.

anyone bumped into this before and any suggestion to fix this ?

Thank you so much.

Hi kamelot,

No and we are not aware what jqxgrid-all.js is, because this is not a file created by jQWidgets.

Thanks Peter for replying,

I figured the “Resource interpreted as Document but transferred with MIME ……” thing is just Chrome’s problem, it was a regular message and not an error or anything.

I got the same message when I exported the CSV and JSON; however, I was able to open them just fine. So this message is not the reason why PDF file is corrupted after being exported (Failed to load PDF document) , any help to solve this would be very appreciated !!!

Cheers,
Kamelot.

Well, downloading the newest version jqwidgets-3.8.2 fixed it (been using 3.5.0 for a while). Though some columns got messed up, somehow the data in those column was replaced by 9/18/15 lol.

The limitation of this pdf export is that I can’t choose the page orientation to be landscape. I do really hope the developer team will consider to implement this in the future (Please please !! :)). I’m sure a lot of data table is in need of landscape mode.

Thanks,
Kamelot
