Hi Chris,

The following code worked for me in saving the uitable along with its contents as a pdf file.

t1=ones(5);
fig = figure('Name','Numbers');
t = uitable(fig,'Data',t1);
saveas(gcf,'Peak_assignments','pdf')

I hope this helps.

Thanks

Hi Chris Pruefert,

I understand that you want to export a table create in MATLAB as a pdf but are facing issues with it.

Instead of using exportapp, you can use the print function and set the format type as "-dpdf". Please refer to the following code snippet for the implementation.

% Sample data for the table
data = {'Apple', 52; 'Banana', 89; 'Cherry', 50};
columnNames = {'Fruthe it', 'Calories'};

% Create the figure
f = figure('Position', [100, 100, 400, 200]);

% Create the table
t = uitable('Parent', f, 'Data', data, 'ColumnName', columnNames, 'Position', [20, 20, 360, 160]);

% Set the figure properties for better output
set(f, 'PaperPositionMode', 'auto');
set(f, 'InvertHardcopy', 'off');
set(f, 'Color', 'w');

% Save the figure as a PDF
print(f, 'table_output', '-dpdf');

Please refer to the following documentation link to learn more about print function.

Hope this helps!
