Description

enhancement in progress

SAPUI5/OpenUI5 version: 1.70

Browser/version (+device/version): Chrome, Firefox

Let say, I have a long table with items, e.g.: https://openui5nightly.hana.ondemand.com/test-resources/sap/m/demokit/tutorial/worklist/07/webapp/test/mockServer.html, and I would like to get/print a PDF-report with items of this table.

Like most of the enterprise reports, such PDF should contain:

header with the corporate logo, report title, brief description, and contact info
a table itself with data, supporting paginations
footer with some legal notice

Currently, I can either print the whole page «as is» with a lot of irrelevant data (e.g., UI controllers) or try to customize the report by using standard HTML/browser approaches like document.body.innerHTML and window.print(), but these techniques don't solve the pagination issue and aren't so fast/easy-to-implement.

It would be great if UI5 data-containers (e.g. sap.m.List and sap.m.Table) will be more print-friendly by having special built-in print-friendly CSS-mode. Is it possible to implement some print-wrapper for data containers to bring printing functionality out-of-box?
