How to save uitable() to PDF, JPG, etc

AlexS1 :

How can I save my uitable() to a PDF, JPG, etc.?

Using Matlab R2018a, no fancy add-ons. Looking for solutions using tables, not arrays, due to size/complexity of the real data.

    % construct simple table as example %
    t = array2table(zeros(4,1));
    t.Properties.VariableNames{'Var1'} = 'id';
    t.id(:) = 1;
    t.fieldA = {'a'; 'b'; 'c'; 'd'};
    t.GroupCount = [22; 1; 19; 0];

    f = uifigure;
    uit = uitable(f, 'Data', t);
    % what command to save to PDF? or JPG, PNG, whatever

Note that f = figure doesn't work, otherwise it would be easy to save as PDF (I think it is having trouble passing the table t, I'm not sure):

f = figure; 
uit = uitable(f, 'Data', t);

Error using uitable
Functionality not supported with figures created with the figure function. For more information, see Graphics Support in App Designer.

Sardar Usama :

You can create it as a figure instead of a uifigure to save it. But you cannot pass a table to it. You need a simple array or a cell-array for that. Since you have mixed data type, therefore cell-array is the way to go. Use table2cell to convert your table to a cell-array.

f = figure;
uit = uitable(f, 'Data', table2cell(t));
uit.ColumnName={t.Properties.VariableNames{:}}; %renaming columns to that of table
uit.RowName=[]; %removing default row numbering as in your uitable

Now you are good to go with saving your figure in any of your desired formats. e.g:
