pdf export function without defining button

bilal001

Hi, I want the function that exports a table as pdf without creating button when initializing the dataTable so I can call it when the user clicks on another button that I created on the website.

Use button().trigger().

edit That requires that you have a PDF export button on the page (it could be hidden). If you don't want the button at all, you'd need to extract the pdf export part of the code form the library. Its MIT licensed, so you are free to do so.
