Awesome Table can be used to create beautiful, printable documents generated from a simple tabular data. It is especially useful within organizations that need to export news, workflows or reports.
info Please note that this article applies to both Google and Microsoft users.
Export your app
In the Awesome Table app editor, simply check the More Actions menu (1) and select the print icon (2).
info If your app has no filters and no search bar, you need to check "Allow viewers to download data as CSV" in the Advanced Parameters to display the More Actions menu and export your app.
Feature presentation
This feature allows users to export the current data displayed by Awesome Table in a document.
You can even manage settings like:
- Size: Choose the type and the size of paper you want to print
- Layout: Choose to save the document as Portrait or Landscape
- Filters: Choose if you want to display your filters
Then, you just have to apply the same settings to further customize the document for export:
- Destination: Choose how to export the document (PDF, Print, save in Drive...)
- Pages: Choose what pages you want to print
- Layout: Choose to save the document as Portrait or Landscape
(it must be the same setting you chose for your Awesome Table app above) - Size: Choose the type and the size of paper you want to print
(it must be the same setting you chose for your Awesome Table app above)
warning It is important to have exactly the same print settings in your Awesome Table app and your web browser, otherwise your export will not have the same rendering.
Examples
Here are a few examples of pdf exports that were made from apps in our template gallery.

Hello,
Could you explain further your issue? If you want to print your entire website, this problem goes beyond Awesome Table and concerns your web browser.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Can I print selected Item ... as below in my view?
Hello Krushnakumar Joshi,
It is not possible to print a selected item like it is shown in your screenshot. This question goes beyond Awesome Table and concerns the print function of your web browser.
Thank you for your understanding.

Hi,
I do not have print icon in my action menu - the 3 dots. What am doing wrong?

Please assist.

Hi the printing function have some minor issue. When printing a long list of item, the table header appear at the bottom of each page where it should repeat at the top of each page. Also the last item of every page will appear only small portion, if not fit. Can you help fix this layout issue in PDF printing?
Hello Verapich Pinprayong,
It's strange as a behavior! Do you try to print your view embedded in a website? If that is the case, could you share with us the URL of your website?
Thanks in advance.
Thomas
I have the save behavior. Have you fixed it?
Me too, I have also facing the save behavior for printing the long list of items in a table. All the time table header repeat at the button. Please help....
The "More Actions menu (1)" does not always appear for me on the second attempt. The first time I try, the more action menu appears. But if I want to print a second table, different table or graphs, the More Action Menu does not appear.
Is there something I'm missing?

Hi @Brandon.
I tested several views and the More actions menu appeared each time.
Could you share a screencast of this issue?
Also, does it happen to just 1 view or any view?
We'll wait for your reply.

hello - I'm having the same issue; I don't get an option to print when I click on the three dots. Screenshot is below - can you help please?
Many thanks
Caroline
Hi @Caroline.
Please click the More actions button of the view (not the editor's).
Hope this helps.

Hi Randy - thanks for your speedy response!
I don't have that additional search bar function on my awesome-table, so I don't have that additional three dots as you show in the above... but I can see on other public tables that they do. How do I add this?
The link to my table is: https://awesome-table.com/-LsHp9ybKLqlSGfoZ7gH/edit - would you mind taking a quick look if that's ok?
Thanks again
Caroline
Hi @Caroline.
I can't access your view. Please set the Google Sheets sharing settings to Anyone with the link. Click here to learn more.
Thanks.

Hi Randy, I see! I've updated the sharing settings now if you can give this a go?
Thanks

Thanks for sharing your view, @Caroline.
Initially, I thought the reason why there are no filters in your screenshot is that it's configured to be at the bottom. But there really are no filters :)
Since this is the case, we just follow the tip shared in this article:

P.S.
Please set the GSheets sharing properties back to its default to avoid sharing it publicly. Thanks.
