Text Wrap Grid to PDF Export

[Lory]

Hi Team,

I have a grid with allowTextWrap settings set to true, the width for each column is also defined. This grid can be exported to PDF.

However when I export it to PDF, not all of the columns fit into an A4 landscape page. The reason is that there are columns that are quite lengthy and take up a lot of the width.

What I would like is to have a fixed width for these columns and the text inside should wrap. Is there a way to set that?

        //PDF Export Method.

        [System.Web.Http.ActionName("PdfExport")]

        [AcceptVerbs("POST")]

        public void PdfExport(IEnumerable data)

        {

            string gridModel = System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Request.Params["GridModel"];

            GridProperties gridProperty = ConvertGridObject(gridModel);

            PdfExport exp = new PdfExport();

            

            PdfDocument document = new PdfDocument();

            document.PageSettings.Orientation = PdfPageOrientation.Landscape;

            document.PageSettings.Size = PdfPageSize.A4;

            //Settings for text wrap?

            exp.Export(gridProperty, data, "Export.pdf", false, false, "flat-saffron", false, document, "Grid");

        }

        //Grid Model conversion Method.

        private GridProperties ConvertGridObject(string gridProperty)

        {

            JavaScriptSerializer serializer = new JavaScriptSerializer();

            IEnumerable div = (IEnumerable)serializer.Deserialize(gridProperty, typeof(IEnumerable));

            GridProperties gridProp = new GridProperties();

            foreach (KeyValuePair<string, object> ds in div)

            {

                var property = gridProp.GetType().GetProperty(ds.Key, BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.Public | BindingFlags.IgnoreCase);

                if (property != null)

                {

                    Type type = property.PropertyType;

                    string serialize = serializer.Serialize(ds.Value);

                    object value = serializer.Deserialize(serialize, type);

                    property.SetValue(gridProp, value, null);

                }

            }

            return gridProp;

        }

Hi Lory, 

Thank you for contacting Syncfusion support. 

We can fit all the Grid columns in a single page by passing the isAutoFit parameter as false to the export method of the PdfExport Class. By default, the isAutoFit property is true.   

 

[System.Web.Http.ActionName("PdfExport")] 

        [AcceptVerbs("POST")] 

        public void PdfExport() 

        { 

            …. 

           exp.Export(gridProperty, result, "Export.pdf", false, false, "flat-saffron", false, false, document, "Grid", false);//here, the 11th parameter is "isAutoFit" which we have set as false.             

 

 

        }
