How to use exposed filters with Views PDF

I copied this question from an old (Drupal 6.xx post), but I have the same problem and can't find a way to solve it:

"
First, thank you very much for the cool module. I like the way of implementing it as a display and configuring it like a view.
My use case requires that customers can filter the view before exporting it to a PDF. Therefore, I tried to solve it by putting an exposed filter on a PDF display, however it results in an empty page.....is it supported in this module or am I doing something wrong...?
"

Is there a way to use exposed filters with this module? I am not a php programmer.
