How do I write some text below a table?

[Martin Bischoff]

I'm using a PdfLightTable to render a table, e.g:

    var doc = new Syncfusion.Pdf.PdfDocument();
    var page = doc.Pages.Add();
    var table = new PdfLightTable();
    table.Style.HeaderSource = PdfHeaderSource.ColumnCaptions;
    table.DataSource = GetData(); // returns  a DataTable
    table.Draw(page, 0, 0);

This works fine, but now I'd like to append some text right below the table, and that's where I'm stuck:

- the table can span multiple pages
- to use page.Graphics.DrawString(text, font, brush, x, y) I have to specify the text's position
--> how do I determine the position for the text (the value for parameter 'y') ?

Hi Martin,

Thank you for using Syncfusion Products.

It is possible to determine the position of the text in the PdfLightTable using PdfLayoutResult.

Use the below mentioned code snippet to the get bounds of the table element,

PdfLayoutResult result = table.Draw(page, PointF.Empty, format);

Please find the sample available in the link below to achieve your target,

Please try this and let us know if you have any question.

Thanks George, that was exactly what I was looking for.

From the samples, this wasn't obvious to me, since each sample only shows exactly one small feature, but not combinations of them.

Best regards,
Martin
