Text is printed outside the Table cell in PDF.....

[Amit Kumar]

I am creating the PDF using the Syncfusion dll. First I create a word document then i convert word into the PDF using the below code.

 DocToPDFConverter converter = new DocToPDFConverter();

                            string fileName = "RFPQuoteSlip_" + UserContext.TenantName.ToString() + ".pdf";

                            //Convert word document into PDF document

                            PdfDocument pdfDoc = converter.ConvertToPDF(wordDoc);

                           

                                //Stream the output to the browser.                                

                            pdfDoc.Save(fileName, Response, HttpReadType.Open);

I have created a table in the word then i have added a paragraph in the table cell and in the added paragraph i have appended the below HTML using the Paragraph.AppendHTML method. Now half of the text available in the below HTML is printed inside the table cell and half of the text is printed outside the table cell. Please help me on that how can i print the complete text inside the table cell only. If text is very big then it should be wrap in the table cell. Please provide me some solution for that so that child table could be fit inside the parent table cell.

<table width="539" style="width: 404pt; border-collapse: collapse;" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">

    <colgroup><col width="124" style="width: 93pt;" /><col width="415" style="width: 311pt;" /></colgroup>

    <tbody>

        <tr height="20" style="height: 15pt;">

            <td align="right" class="xl63" style="width: 93pt; height: 15pt;">325132b5</td>

            <td class="xl63" style="width: 311pt; border-left-style: none;">wwerwe rwetet wete3 rtwejhtwe tjwe twetw eqwrw2rwrjwer qwnerhqwerqwerhqwe rjhwqerqwe rjhqwer qwjehrvqwh erjhqwevlr qwegrvqwe rqwegjrv qwejrgjcqwjer qwjegrvqwe rq</td>

Hi Sathish,

Please find the sample with the attachment. I have replicated it. Actually i have set the column width of the parent table and child table is bigger than parent table that is why it is getting out but what i want that i want to fix the initial width of the parent table and if the child table is bigger that the parent table then the parent table size will be increased itself.

Thanks

Hi Amit,

 

Thank you for your update.

 

When we set “Automatically resize to fit contents” property of the table in the Word document to true, then the viewer (MS Word) will automatically resizes the width of the table based on the contents while opening the document. MS Word generated Pdf documents will contain the same width for the table when “Automatically resize to fit contents” property is set to true.

 

By default value of the “Automatically resize to fit contents” property is false. You can define this property value to true in DocIO by using the below code snippet.

 

Code snippet:

table.TableFormat.IsAutoResized = true;

 

This will be reflected in the Word document while opening the document in MS Word and it will not be reflected in the generated Pdf document since currently DocIO doesn’t support “Automatically resize to fit contents” property in Doc to Pdf conversion. We have already logged this as a feature request in our database. We will implement this feature in any of our upcoming releases. We usually have an interval of at least three months between releases. The feature implementation would also greatly depend on the factors such as product design, code compatibility and complexity. We will update you when this feature has been implemented.  

 

As a workaround kindly define the desired width to the table in order to retain the expected format. We have modified your sample according to the same. Please find the modified sample from below link.

Hi Nishant,

Thank you for your interest in Syncfusion products.

Auto fit to contents for tables in Doc to Pdf conversion is not yet added in DocIO. We have already logged this as a feature request in our database. We will implement this feature in any of our upcoming releases. We usually have an interval of at least three months between releases. The feature implementation would also greatly depend on the factors such as product design, code compatibility and complexity. We will update you when this feature has been implemented.  

Please let us know if you have any other questions.

Hi Sathish,

 

Thanks for your reply.

 

It is very highly visiblity issue for our client & we don't have any resolution for the same. As you informed us on December 4, 2014 01:05 AM that you will provide us a new release in three month & now you are saying the same thing so please let us know when the new version will be available.

 

Thanks!!!

Hi Nishant,

Thank you for your update.

Microsoft Word adjusts table/cell width automatically while rendering the table based on its content in Word documents. Whereas Essential DocIO renders the table/cell using the width defined in the Word documents, causes difference in table width preservation compared to the Microsoft Word. In order to render the table/cell similar to Microsoft Word, we need to implement auto fit table lay outing algorithm specifically to calculate the table/cell width and render table/cell based on the calculated width. This implementation requires in depth analysis of the Microsoft Word auto fit table lay outing algorithm and it greatly depend upon the factors like product design, code complexity and compatibility. Hence we cannot provide a concrete timeline for this feature implementation. We will update you once this feature is implemented.

Thanks,

Hi Nishant,

As mentioned earlier, kindly define the desired width for the table cells in the input Word document in order to preserve the well formatted table in the generated Pdf document.

Hi Nishant,

Thank you for your update.

The Auto fit to content support of tables in Doc to Pdf conversion is not yet implemented. We have already explained the complexities associated with the development of Auto Fit to content support of tables in Doc to Pdf conversion and hence we can’t provide any concrete timeline for this feature implementation. We will let you once we have implemented this feature.
