Thanks for the response, and my apologies for the delay in my reply. I don't have an input document, I am creating it from the ground up. I have a single C# class which drives the process. I declare some member variables:
private WordDocument document;
private IWSection section;
private int standardIndent = 40;
private string standardFont = "Arial";
private int standardFontSize = 12;
Then in the class constructor, I initialise the document:
// Assign the licence
Syncfusion.Licensing.SyncfusionLicenseProvider.RegisterLicense("R E D A C T E D");
// Create a new Word Document
document = new WordDocument();
//Add a new section to the document
section = document.AddSection();
// Set the margins
section.PageSetup.Margins = new MarginsF(50, 50, 50, 50);
// Tweak the built-in body text style
var bodyStyle = (Style)Style.CreateBuiltinStyle(BuiltinStyle.BodyText, document);
bodyStyle.CharacterFormat.TextColor = Color.Black;
bodyStyle.CharacterFormat.FontName = standardFont;
bodyStyle.CharacterFormat.FontSize = standardFontSize;
document.Styles.Add(bodyStyle);
// And the heading style
var headStyle = (Style)Style.CreateBuiltinStyle(BuiltinStyle.Heading1, document);
headStyle.CharacterFormat.TextColor = Color.Black;
headStyle.CharacterFormat.FontName = standardFont;
headStyle.CharacterFormat.FontSize = standardFontSize;
headStyle.CharacterFormat.Bold = true;
document.Styles.Add(headStyle);
Paragraphs are added like this:
public void AddParagraph(string text)
{
// Add the paragraph
var paragraph = section.AddParagraph();
//Applies built-in style and the standard indent for the paragraph
paragraph.ApplyStyle(BuiltinStyle.BodyText);
paragraph.ParagraphFormat.LeftIndent = standardIndent;
//Adds new text to the paragraph
paragraph.AppendText(text);
}
Tables are added like this:
public void AddTable(List<List<string>> rows)
{
var table = section.AddTable();
table.TableFormat.IsAutoResized = true;
table.IndentFromLeft = standardIndent; // THOUGHT - IS THIS PUSHING THE TABLE RIGHT?
table.TableFormat.Paddings.Top = 5;
table.TableFormat.Paddings.Bottom = 5;
table.TableFormat.Paddings.Left = 5;
table.TableFormat.Paddings.Right = 5;
var currentRow = 0;
foreach(var row in rows)
{
var thisRow = table.AddRow(false, false);
var currentColumn = 0;
foreach (var column in row)
{
var thisCell = thisRow.AddCell();
var newText = thisCell.AddParagraph().AppendText(column);
newText.CharacterFormat.FontName = standardFont;
newText.CharacterFormat.FontSize = standardFontSize;
newText.CharacterFormat.Bold = currentRow == 0; // make the first row bold
currentColumn++;
}
currentRow++;
}
table.AutoFit(AutoFitType.FitToContent); // TODO Why is this not working?
section.AddParagraph(); // To get space after the table TODO find a better way
}
Then, finally, the PDF is created:
//Create instance for DocIORenderer for Word to PDF conversion
DocIORenderer render = new DocIORenderer();
//Converts Word document to PDF.
PdfDocument pdfDocument = render.ConvertToPDF(document);
//Release the resources used by the Word document and DocIO Renderer objects.
render.Dispose();
document.Dispose();
//Saves the PDF file.
FileStream outputStream = new FileStream(@"c:\\Logs\\xxxx.pdf", FileMode.Create, FileAccess.Write);
pdfDocument.Save(outputStream);
//Closes the instance of PDF document object.
pdfDocument.Close();
//Dispose the instance of FileStream.
outputStream.Dispose();
I have attached a sample output file.
I hope that all makes sense - and look forward to hearing what stupid mistake I have made!
Thanks,
Nick
