I need to export grid to pdf.

I need to be able to export the grid to pdf.
We are evaluating the use of your product and this is a big issue for us.
We currently do use a java friendly grid control called display-tag that does have this functionality.

dhtmlxGrid is fully client side component. Conversion grid to PDF is really server side task. Grid can serialize itself as XML or CSV - which can be used to further transformation on server side. 
printView() method doesn’t provide converting grid to the PDF. There is an optional extension for client side printing data from grid , it provides good results, but still not the best , because control over HTML printing is very limited.
