Hi Caleb, 

Thank you for contacting Syncfusion support. 

Please find the below code snippet to align the column header text alignment in PdfGrid 

            //Create a new PdfGrid. 

            PdfGrid pdfGrid = new PdfGrid();   

 

            //Create and customize string format  

            PdfStringFormat format = new PdfStringFormat(); 

            format.Alignment = PdfTextAlignment.Center; 

 

            //Specify the style for PdfGridcell 

            PdfGridCellStyle headerstyle = new PdfGridCellStyle(); 

            headerstyle.Font = new PdfStandardFont(PdfFontFamily.Helvetica, 10); 

            headerstyle.StringFormat = format; 

 

            //Apply style 

            pdfGrid.Headers.ApplyStyle(headerstyle); 

  

Please find the below code snippet to apply cell color in PdfGrid 

            //Create a new PdfGrid. 

            PdfGrid pdfGrid = new PdfGrid();   

 

            //Specify the style for PdfGridcell 

            PdfGridCellStyle cellStyle = new PdfGridCellStyle(); 

            cellStyle.BackgroundBrush = PdfBrushes.Pink; 

 

            //Apply style for rows 

            pdfGrid.Rows.ApplyStyle(cellStyle); 

 

            //Apply style for specific cell 

            pdfGrid.Rows[1].Cells[1].Style = cellStyle;

Does this actually answer the question ?

I want to change the background color of individual header cells not the entire header (i.e. column 3 header red, column 4 header green).

I changed this to 

pdfGrid.Headers[0].Cells[2].Style = headerStyleRed

pdfGrid.Headers[0].Cells[3].Style = headerStyleGreen

Which did the trick

Hi Martin, 

 

Thank you for your update.

In our earlier update, we have shared the code details for setting background color for entire grid cell. Yes, we can set the background color of individual cells with the code snippet which you shared in your update.
