Read only text editor with export tools

Sample code:

@{
    List<String> toolsList = new List<string>() { "importExport" };
    List<String> ImportExport = new List<string>() { "wordExport", "pdfExport" };
}
@{Html.EJ().RTE("rteSample").Width("100%").ContentTemplate(@<div>
    <p><b>Description:</b></p>
    <p>
        The Rich Text Editor (RTE) control is an easy to render in
        client side. Customer easy to edit the contents and get the HTML content for
        the displayed content. A rich text editor control provides users with a toolbar
        that helps them to apply rich text formats to the text entered in the text
        area.

</div>).MinWidth("200px").MinHeight("500px").AllowEditing(false).ToolsList(toolsList).Tools(tool => tool.ImportExport(ImportExport))     
      .ExportToWordSettings(exportToWordSettings => exportToWordSettings.Url("Home/ExportToWord").FileName("WordExport"))
      .ExportToPdfSettings(exportToPdfSettings => exportToPdfSettings.Url("Home/ExportToPDF").FileName("PdfExport")).Render();}

How can I achieve to be able to export to word and pdf with AllowEditing(false), so i want read only text editor without import.
It works without AllowEditing(false) but then rte is editable.
Thanks

Hi Mihael, 

Thanks for contacting Syncfusion support. 
  
We have validated your reported query on ejRTE. We have prepared an solution to achieve your requirement of having the text area of RTE as un editable. For your information, RTE’s content area is rendered with iframe element, by setting contentEditable attribute as false of the body element in the iframe, we can prevent editing in its container element. Please, refer the below code snippet to achieve you requirement. 

[index.cshtml] 
@{ 
    List<String> toolsList = new List<string>() { "importExport" }; 
    List<String> ImportExport = new List<string>() { "wordExport", "pdfExport" }; 
} 
@{ 
    Html.EJ().RTE("rteSample").Width("100%").ContentTemplate(@<div> 
    &lt;p&gt;The Rich Text Editor (RTE) control is an easy to render in 
    client side. Customer easy to edit the contents and get the HTML content for 
    the displayed content. A rich text editor control provides users with a toolbar 
    that helps them to apply rich text formats to the text entered in the text 
    area. &lt;/p&gt; 
</div>).MinWidth("200px").ToolsList(toolsList).Tools(tool => tool.ImportExport(ImportExport)) 
.ExportToWordSettings(exportToWordSettings => exportToWordSettings.Url("ExportToWord").FileName("WordExport")) 
.ExportToPdfSettings(exportToPdfSettings => exportToPdfSettings.Url("ExportToPDF").FileName("PdfExport")).Render(); 
} 
 
<script> 
    $(function () { 
        //setting the contentEditable as false to prevent editing in RTE text area by using RTE instance 
($($("#rteSample").ejRTE("instance").wrapper[0]).find("iframe"))[0].contentDocument.body.contentEditable = false; 
    }); 
</script> 
   

Please, let us know if you need any further assistance. 

Regards,
