I am exporting an html to pdf using Kendo UI and the problem I am facing is html content gets cut weirdly in the pdf. You can try it on the link

Below is the page with shortened content which works fine

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
  <meta charset="utf-8">
  <title>Untitled</title>

  <link rel="stylesheet" href="http://kendo.cdn.telerik.com/2016.2.714/styles/kendo.common.min.css">
  <link rel="stylesheet" href="http://kendo.cdn.telerik.com/2016.2.714/styles/kendo.rtl.min.css">
  <link rel="stylesheet" href="http://kendo.cdn.telerik.com/2016.2.714/styles/kendo.default.min.css">
  <link rel="stylesheet" href="http://kendo.cdn.telerik.com/2016.2.714/styles/kendo.mobile.all.min.css">

  <script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.12.3.min.js"></script>
  <script src="http://kendo.cdn.telerik.com/2016.2.714/js/angular.min.js"></script>
  <script src="http://kendo.cdn.telerik.com/2016.2.714/js/jszip.min.js"></script>
  <script src="http://kendo.cdn.telerik.com/2016.2.714/js/kendo.all.min.js"></script>
  
  <style>
    button{
      margin: 5px;
    }

    .k-pdf-export{
      font-size: 70%;
      font-family: "DejaVu Sans", "Arial", sans-serif;
    }
  </style>
  </head>
<body>
     <button onclick="export_pdf()"> Export PDF </button>
     <div class="pdf-page">
      <p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.

   </div>
  <script>
    function export_pdf(){
         kendo.drawing.drawDOM($('.pdf-page'), {
            paperSize : "A4",
            margin : {
               top : "2cm",
               left : "1cm",
               right : "1cm",
               bottom : "1cm"
            }
         }).then(function(group) {
            kendo.drawing.pdf.saveAs(group, "export.pdf");
         }); 
    }
  </script>
</body>
</html>

The problem is when the content is larger, it gets cut weirdly. Try it into the snippet:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
  <meta charset="utf-8">
  <title>Untitled</title>

  <link rel="stylesheet" href="http://kendo.cdn.telerik.com/2016.2.714/styles/kendo.common.min.css">
  <link rel="stylesheet" href="http://kendo.cdn.telerik.com/2016.2.714/styles/kendo.rtl.min.css">
  <link rel="stylesheet" href="http://kendo.cdn.telerik.com/2016.2.714/styles/kendo.default.min.css">
  <link rel="stylesheet" href="http://kendo.cdn.telerik.com/2016.2.714/styles/kendo.mobile.all.min.css">

  <script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.12.3.min.js"></script>

    button{
      margin: 5px;
    }

    .k-pdf-export{
      font-size: 70%;
      font-family: "DejaVu Sans", "Arial", sans-serif;
    }
  </style>
  </head>
<body>
     <button onclick="export_pdf()"> Export PDF </button>

  <script>
    function export_pdf(){
         kendo.drawing.drawDOM($('.pdf-page'), {
            paperSize : "A4",
            margin : {
               top : "2cm",
               left : "1cm",
               right : "1cm",
               bottom : "1cm"
            }
         }).then(function(group) {
            kendo.drawing.pdf.saveAs(group, "export.pdf");
         }); 
    }
  </script>
</body>
</html>

How do I get my content displayed nice in an A4 format like it is specified in the js export function? What is causing this issue?

The problem is caused by changing font styles on the fly, just for the exported content. For most predictable results, use the same styles for the content displayed by the browser, and the exported content. In addition, it is recommended to register the pako deflate library and fonts for embedding in the PDF document.

Here is an updated version of your example that works better:
