Telerik UI for ASP.NET MVC Export Support
Telerik UI for ASP.NET MVC integrates the Pako and JSZip libraries to support the content export of its components to PDF and Excel.
Pako Library
The Pako Deflate library enables the compression of the files that will be exported to PDF. To enable the PDF export, you need to load Pako in the specified page.
Starting with v2023.3.1115 the Pako library is no longer distributed with the rest of the Kendo UI for jQuery scripts. You must use one of the official distribution channels such as
unpkginstead.
<!-- Load Pako Deflate library to enable PDF compression -->
<script src="https://unpkg.com/pako/dist/pako_deflate.min.js"></script>
For more information on the available PDF export options by Kendo UI, refer to the articles on PDF Export and PDF output by the Drawing library.
JSZip Library
Since Excel files are a zipped collection of XML files, the JSZip library is necessary to process the generated workbook to an .xslx file.
Include the JSZip library:
- To support client-side Excel export (all components)
- To support Excel imports with the
fromFile()method (Spreadsheet component)
Starting with v2024.1.130 the JSZip library is no longer distributed with the rest of the Kendo UI for jQuery scripts. You must use one of the official distribution channels such as
unpkginstead.
<!-- Load the JSZip library to enable Excel export -->
<script src="https://unpkg.com/jszip/dist/jszip.min.js"></script>
To take full advantage of the Excel export feature, download the JSZip library and include the file before the Kendo UI JavaScript files.
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.9.1.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://unpkg.com/jszip/dist/jszip.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://kendo.cdn.telerik.com/2024.4.1112/js/kendo.all.min.js"></script>
- If you do not include JSZip in the page, Kendo UI will raise a runtime exception.
When you use JSZip in scenarios where the packages are loaded from NPM, explicitly assign the JSZip object to a field in the window object. To properly load JSZip in the application:
- Install the library and save it to the
package.jsonfile by runningnpm install jszip --save. - Import the library in the module where it will be used through
import JSZip from 'jszip'. - Assign the library object to a field of the
windowby settingwindow.JSZip = JSZip.
Globalizejs Library
To use Globalizejs in your project, include it after the Kendo UI scripts.
Browser Support
Excel generation is available for all supported browsers. Saving a file needs a server-side proxy for older browser versions. For more information, refer to the article on saving files with Kendo UI for jQuery.
Some mobile browsers do not support the saving of files.
