  Sure - but it will take a little bit of custom code as there is no way to send an e-mail from the client-side. You'll need to get the data from the table like the other buttons do, and then submit it as an Ajax request to the server, which would in turn send the e-mail.

  Hi Allan,
  
  I am trying to implement this button in a wordpress page. The wp_mail api(http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_mail) accepts attachments as a parameter. How do I find the path for the generated pdf file?
  
  Thanks!

  The pdf is created not he client-side, so I can't imagine it would be of much use to a server-side script. You'd need to write a little script to create the PDF not he server-side.

  Is there some resource already available for creating the pdf on the server side?

  Loads of options ( https://www.google.co.uk/?q=php+create+pdf#q=php+create+pdf - update for whatever server environment you are using) - but not specifically for DataTables since any generic script will do.
