What is Table Grid Editor?

(supported since Better PDF Exporter 3.4.0)

Table Grid Editor is a Jira app that extends Jira with list- and spreadsheet-like (table-like) custom fields. (Table Grid Editor is effectively replaced by its modern re-implementation called Table Grid Next Generation. Both the old and the new apps are integrated with Better PDF Exporter.)

Table Grid Editor integration features

• You can export any Table Grid Editor managed custom field to PDF.

Table Grid Editor integration vs. the Table Grid Editor built-in PDF exports

You may want to ask: if Table Grid Editor has a built-in PDF export feature, why would you use another app for the same?

While the Table Grid Editor built-in PDF exports may be sufficient for basic use cases, the Better PDF Exporter integration is more powerful in, at least, these:

• It supports PDF automation.
  You can export, email and attach PDF files using Automation for Jira (visual automation rules), ScriptRunner (Groovy scripts), or the REST API (use your favorite language!).
• It is extremely customizable.
  Instead of accepting the pre-defined export types in Table Grid Editor, you can define your own types via PDF templates.
• It supports all the powerful PDF features.
  You can use custom calculations in Groovy (sorting, complex math, data integration, etc.), embedded attachments, PDF bookmarks, charts, graphics (in Groovy, SVG, QR codes and barcodes, etc.), among others.
• It is integrated with all the popular Jira apps.
  You can freely combine Table Grid Editor data and other apps' data in the same PDF file.
• It comes with powerful templates optimized for Table Grid Editor.
  You can use those "as is", or customize them to your needs.
• It is well-documented with the customization guide, the Expression Reference Manual, the recipes, and such.

If at least one of these is important for you, give the app a try.
