Pdf: add text with word wrapping - and return new height

[Malcolm Jack]

Is it possible to generate a string in a pdf, that will wrap at a specific width, but continue to grow height, and then return the height, or y bottom coordinate of the result.

Currently - I see you can word wrap with a specific Rect:

PdfStringFormat format = new PdfStringFormat

{

WordWrap = PdfWordWrapType.Word

};

var rect = new RectangleF(x, y, maxWidth.Value, 100);

CurrentPageGraphics.DrawString(text, font, brush, rect, format);

... but here, 100 is the height. I'm looking for something along the lines of a PdfLayoutResult after wrapping text that is limited only by width, and not by height.

I think I have what I'm looking for:

        PdfTextElement element = new PdfTextElement(text, font, brush);

PdfStringFormat format = new PdfStringFormat

{

WordWrap = PdfWordWrapType.Word

};

element.StringFormat = format;

RectangleF bounds = new RectangleF(x, y, maxWidth, maxHeight);

result = element.Draw(CurrentPage, bounds);

Hi Malcolm, 

Thank you for contacting Syncfusion support.  

Yes it is possible to draw the text to PDF page and get the rendered layout result using PdfLayoutResult class. Please refer below link for more information about rendering text with specified bounds and getting a rendered result (Bounds).
