 * Hello Tobias,
    I have installed the print button and that works great. However,
   there are a few things that I want to tweak. 1. When printed, my table puts the
   website and page name at the top of the page. How do I get rid of that and replace
   it with a custom title. (I don’t want to use the table name or description since
   it is a filtered table). 2. Can I control the size of the title? 3. When printed,
   the table is centered, but if I send it to pdf it is not. How do I center the
   pdf. Thanks
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fprint-formating%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.
 * Unfortunately, customizing the Print and PDF views is rather difficult, first
   of all for technical reasons, but also because this is handled by an external
   JavaScript library. However, I’m not the developer of that library, but only 
   embedded it into the Extension, which is why I don’t know all internals about
   it. For that, you’d have to check out its documentation at [https://datatables.net/extensions/buttons/](https://datatables.net/extensions/buttons/)
   You’d then find certain options for different things that we could add to a “
   Custom Command” to apply them.
 * Now, for your questions:
    1. From what I know, DataTables uses the title of the
   page i.e. what is between the HTML `<title>` tags) for this. There could however
   be an option to change this. 2. Probably with a similar option as well, but to
   be honest, I’m not sure. 3. This could depend on the table content size, but 
   again, it could be possible with an option.
 * Having said all that, I can only suggest that you try finding relevant options
   in the DataTables documentation (see the link above). I’ll then gladly assist
   in applying them to your table.
 * Another option could of course be to create a PDF of your table offline, e.g.
   in Excel, and then offer that for download. But of course that would not update
   automatically whenever you make changes to your table in TablePress.
 * Regards,
    Tobias
