Exporting PDF yadcf table

Hello,

I am trying to export pdf from a table that I’ve created with yadcf however the sub values of multiple select in header also exports to pdf.

$(document).ready(function () {
    $('#yadcf').dataTable(
        {
            dom: 'Bfrtip',
            "iDisplayLength": 100,
            buttons: [
                {
                    extend: 'print',

                },
                'excel',
                {
                    extend: 'pdfHtml5',
                    orientation: 'landscape',
                    pageSize: 'LEGAL',
                    "bHeader": false //<-- THIS

                },
            ],

            "columnDefs": [
                {
                    "orderData": [1, 0], "targets": 0,},
                {header:"", className: "dt-head-center","target": "_all"  },
                {className: "dt-body-center" ,"targets": "_all"     },
            ],

        }
    ).yadcf([
        {column_number: 0},
        {column_number: 1},
        {column_number: 2},
        {column_number: 8},
    ]);
});

Here are some screenshots.

Thanks. Yes, you are right. I was able to exclude yadcf filters (html, div) from exported headers. Not sure if it is nice way but it works for me.

My working export button definition is

{
    extend : 'excel',
    exportOptions : {
        columns : ':visible',
        format : {
            header : function (mDataProp, columnIdx) {
                var htmlText = '<span>' + mDataProp + '</span>';
                var jHtmlObject = jQuery(htmlText);
                jHtmlObject.find('div').remove();
                var newHtml = jHtmlObject.text();
                console.log('My header > ' + newHtml);
                return newHtml;
            }
        }
    }
}

                return newHtml;
            }
        }
    }
}

Hm, somewhere I found this for “copy to clipboard” and “csv export options” and have been using it for a while now and it still works with yadcf:

  exportOptions : {
      columns : ':visible',
      header:
      (innerHtml, col_index, cell_node) => {
        return cell_node.childNodes[0].nodeValue;
      }
  }
