There is exports feature available in jquery datatables, you just need to specify that what kind of exports do you want to support like:

JavaScript

$(document).ready(function () {
  //Jquery Data Table
  $('#table-id').dataTable({
    "pagingType": "full_numbers",
    "lengthMenu": [[5, 10, 25, 50, -1], [5, 10, 25, 50, "All"]],
    "scrollY": "400px",
    "buttons": ['pdf']
  });
});
