XPS to PDF conversion loosing image size

[Damien Holley]

Hi,

I am using the XPS to PDF conversion, the header image looks fine in WPF as well as looking at the xps document seperately. Once the PDF conversion is done it loses it's scaling. and is cropped at the image (scale size) edges.

Any ideas how to fix this?

Hi Sowmiya,

OS: Win10

Display: 2k monitors + 125%

SF Version : 17.2460.0.46

The file views, please note that the image in the pdf file appears like it's being cropped to the total space of the logo in the xaml file:

XPS FILE
PDF File

The main part of the code, tempFile is the path to the temporary XPS file:

                              //GET XAML file as XPS

var p = printFrame as FixedPage;

pageFrame.Child = null;

if (p == null) {

throw new Exception("Page is null."); }

var xpsFile = GetXPSDocumentAsStream(p, ref tempFile);

if (xpsFile != null) {

xpsFile.Position = 0;

//writeXPSToFile(ref xpsFile, filePath);

Syncfusion.XPS.XPSToPdfConverter converter = new Syncfusion.XPS.XPSToPdfConverter();

PdfDocument doc = converter.Convert(tempFile);

//doc.PageSettings.Size = PdfPageSize.A4;

//doc.PageSettings.Orientation = PdfPageOrientation.Portrait;

doc.Save(filePath);

//open PDF file

System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(filePath);

doc.Close(); }

The part that saves the pdf:

                         try {

MemoryStream output = new MemoryStream();

var doc = new FixedDocument();

var pContent = new PageContent();

content.Width = 2000;

content.Height = 2900;

((System.Windows.Markup.IAddChild)pContent).AddChild(content);

doc.Pages.Add(pContent);

if (overdue) {

pContent = new PageContent();

var temp = new FixedPage();

temp.Width = 2000;

temp.Height = 2900;

temp.Children.Add(new OverdueDetails());

((System.Windows.Markup.IAddChild)pContent).AddChild(temp);

doc.Pages.Add(pContent); }

//var xDoc = new XpsDocument(System.IO.Packaging.Package.Open(output, FileMode.Create, FileAccess.ReadWrite));

var xDoc = new XpsDocument(tempFile, FileAccess.ReadWrite, System.IO.Packaging.CompressionOption.NotCompressed);

var xpsWriter = XpsDocument.CreateXpsDocumentWriter(xDoc);

//write out doc

xpsWriter.Write(doc);

xDoc.Close();

return output; }

catch(Exception ex) {

gfuncs.ERROR(ref ex, "GetXPSDocumentAsStream", "PrintSavePDF");

return null; }
