Add button on seeded Advanced Table, to catch the person_id to generate xml report

Question

Hi All,
We are having a requirement to generate pdf report from seeded page.
And we kind a hit dead end. So was really looking for any inputs or insights.
We personalized page to add a column with a button in it. We used javascript
in destination URI to catch the event in PFR.
javascript:submitForm('DefaultFormName',1,{'xxdbPrintPDF':'YES'});
All is good until this point. But the EVEN_SOURCE_ROW_REFERENCE is showing as null, when we hit that
personalized button on page. Where as it is giving right values if clicked on other seeded items in table.
And each row has a distinct person_id. We need handle to person_id to generate that person specific report.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Hari

Forgot to mention earlier. Vacancy page has advanced table listing all the applicants applied.
We need button across each applicant(i.e in each row). And when we hit that button, if we can get person_id.
We can use that in whereclauseparams() to get specific rows for xml report.
Tried to create button programmatically, and still not able to retrieve row number/person id
