Hello Krishna,

Are your dt-button-collection-custom stored in an external css file ?
I do the same things and it works.

                    text: '<i class="fa fa-print" aria-hidden="true"></i> Print',
                    title: jsVar, 
                    filename: jsVar, 
                    className: 'btn btn-default widthFix',
                    titleAttr: 'Export filename (.pdf)',
                    exportOptions: { columns: ':visible'},
                    orientation: 'portrait' 
                },

I tried by giving adding width ,overflow:scroll,max-height in my own css file and i mentioned that class like below

{
                            extend: 'colvis',
                            className: 'dt-button-collection hello',
                            text: 'Column Visibility',
                            columns: ':not(:first-child)'
                        }

it is applying to button , but I want it to column visibility div where we are showing column names.
