Material-table: Disable export PDF button

[mchenachi]

How can I disable or remove the export PDF button option?? I didn't found it on the docs

[janderson215]

I couldn't find anything to remove this either. This is a very temporary workaround because the users will wonder why they can't export to PDF and I think alerts are a no-no in React, but this is what I'm doing. In the options prop of MaterialTable, add
exportPdf: () => alert('This feature is disabled. Data can only be exported as a CSV.')

I am also looking for a solution to this issue on how to hide/remove "Export as PDF".

If you are desperate, as a temporary solution, you can select it with css, then change its display, here is the selector:

li.MuiButtonBase-root.MuiListItem-root.MuiMenuItem-root.MuiMenuItem-gutters.MuiListItem-gutters.MuiListItem-button:nth-child(2) {
display:none !important;
}

This is a slightly more robust workaround in plain JavaScript, using a MutationObserver to determine when the export menu opens and then removing the "Export as PDF" menu item:

setTimeout(() => { // Wait until page load.
  new MutationObserver((mutations, observer) => {
    mutations.forEach((mutation) => {
      mutation.addedNodes.forEach((addedNode) => {
        if (addedNode.nodeType === Node.ELEMENT_NODE) {
          const element = addedNode;
          if (element.classList.contains('MuiPopover-root')) {
            Array.from(
              element.getElementsByClassName('MuiMenuItem-root'),
            ).forEach((menuItem) => {
              if (menuItem.textContent === 'Export as PDF') {
                menuItem.remove();
              }
            });
          }
        }
      });
    });
  }).observe(document.body, {childList: true});
}, 0);

This is fixed as of 1.6.9 via https://github.com/mbrn/material-table/pull/2335

So now you can opt in to only the csv button:

<MaterialTable options={{ exportButton: { csv: true }} />

This issue can be closed

Using 1.69.2 and the correct syntax to exclude the PDF option is:

<MaterialTable options={{ exportButton: { csv: true, pdf: false }} />
