Hi, did't you ask this already in issue #258 ? This issue is neither your mistake nor a bug, but it is a missing feature, Actually it's not possible to export more than one header row when exporting to pdf using jspdf-autotable. Thats a limitation of the version of jspdf-autotable plugin, which is used by tableExport.jquery.plugin. I'm not sure if an update to a recent version of jspdf-autotable would fix this. But an update would at least require a major rework of the plugins pdf output process, what I'm not able to do. An alternative could be using pdfmake to export in pdf format instead.
