Publication-ready PDF export — no print dialog.
Tablesmit exports your table directly to PDF. Clean output, no interface chrome, no quality compromise. Your table exactly as you built it.
Benefits
Table only — no UI chrome
The PDF contains your table and caption. No navigation bar, no toolbar, no surrounding interface. Ready to attach to any document.
Text-based, not an image
Text in your exported PDF is selectable and searchable. Screen readers can read it. It is a real document, not a screenshot.
Themes export faithfully
Header colours, border styles, and cell formatting are preserved in the PDF. Academic, Default, Striped — they all render correctly.
Processed in your browser
The PDF is generated locally using html2canvas and jsPDF. Nothing is uploaded. Your data stays on your machine.
How it works
Build and format your table
Set headers, fill in data, apply a theme, and resize columns. Add a caption — it will appear above the table in the PDF.
Click PDF
Click the PDF button in the toolbar. The export processes in the browser.
Download
Your PDF downloads instantly. The filename uses your table caption if one exists, or 'tablesmit-export.pdf' by default.
