Description

in exporterFieldCallback I add spaces to the input to produce identation but it doesn't appear in the pdf.

    exporterFieldCallback: function(grid, row, col, input) {
      var value = "      " + input;

      return value;
    },

Research direction
Examine the pdf export implementation in ui grid to understand how exporterFieldCallback's return value is processed. Look for any trimming or whitespace handling in the pdf generation code, likely in files related to the exporter. Reproduce the issue with a simple test case and check if spaces are being stripped during pdf generation.
