Hello. Has anyone experienced an issue in
generate a PDF where it is wrapping text to the next line in the middle of the
word?
We are using Syncfusion v9.1.0.20 in our ASP.NET 3.5 C#
application to generate a PDF by parsing a dynamically-created XML document and
continuously calling the draw method of a PdfTextElement object. We are
keeping track of the “position” on the page of where the “cursor” last wrote
text. The X coordinate of this position is used to set the
ParagraphIndent property of the StringFormat object of the PdfTextElement. The Y
coordinate of the last position is used to create a RectangleF called “bounds”,
with the starting point being (0,Y) and the size being the graphics client
size’s width and height – Y (remaining page height). This “bounds” RectangleF
is passed to the draw method of the PdfTextElement object with the current
page’s graphics and layout format. See the code snippet below.
99% of the time, the text wraps perfectly. But it seems when
the ParagraphIndent is set too close to the width of the page’s graphics,
Syncfusion gets “confused” and does not move the entire word to the next line,
instead breaking up the word onto two lines. I had a similar problem when
drawing text too close to the bottom of the page and was able to create a
work-around in the code, but I’m having difficulty doing the same for the page
width. The page is set for each section of the PDF so that the size is Letter
and to have left and right margins of 60f.
I’d appreciate any thoughts and feedback on why Syncfusion
is wrapping mid-word.
Code Snippet:
//Create text element with font and
brush
PdfTextElement text = new PdfTextElement(str_text);
text.Font = _prvGetPdfFont(style);
text.Brush = _prvGetPdfBrush(style);
//Set up string format
PdfStringFormat stringFormat = new PdfStringFormat();
stringFormat.MeasureTrailingSpaces = true;
stringFormat.Alignment = _prvGetAlignment(style);
text.StringFormat = stringFormat;
//Layout Format setup
PdfLayoutFormat layoutFormat = new PdfLayoutFormat();
layoutFormat.Break = PdfLayoutBreakType.FitPage;
layoutFormat.Layout = PdfLayoutType.Paginate;
//Set the text to begin at the last
horizontal position
text.StringFormat.ParagraphIndent =
_prvPDFCurrentLocation.X;
//Set bounds to be page width and the
page remaining height based on last vertical position
PointF location = new
PointF(0, _prvPDFCurrentLocation.Y);
SizeF size_bounds = new
SizeF(_prvPDFCurrentPage.Graphics.ClientSize.Width, _prvPDFCurrentPage.Graphics.ClientSize.Height - location.Y);
RectangleF bounds = new RectangleF(location,
size_bounds);
//Draw the text to the page
text.Draw(this._prvPDFCurrentPage,
bounds, layoutFormat);
Thank you,
