将您的网格数据转换为可共享的 PDF

将 ASP.NET Core 网格数据导出为 PDF，以便进行离线分析和记录保存时更轻松地共享。

PDF export is a powerful feature in grid controls, allowing users to capture and share data presented in a readily accessible format.

Several ASP.NET Core grids support exporting to PDF including:

DevExpress ASP.NET Core Data Grid provides rich PDF export with formatting options, data binding and custom layouts.
