Fonts in PDFGrid

[DavidBS]

Hi,

I'm exporting data from a Syncfusion Datagrid into a PDF file.

Everything goes OK but I can't change the fonts of all rows/columns, except Headers.

Even using "pdfgrid.style.font" does not change the rows/columns/cells font.

How can I proceed with this?

I appreciate any help.

Hi DavidBS,  

 

Thank you for contacting Syncfusion support.  

 

We have analyzed your requirement “Change the fonts for rows/Column/cell in PDF grid” and this can be achieved by using below code snippet,  

 

Change the font for particular row: 

UG link: https://help.syncfusion.com/file-formats/pdf/working-with-tables#row-customization-in-pdfgrid  

 

//Create an instance of PdfGridRowStyle 

PdfGridRowStyle pdfGridRowStyle = new PdfGridRowStyle(); 

pdfGridRowStyle.Font = new PdfStandardFont(PdfFontFamily.Courier, 15, PdfFontStyle.Bold); 

//Set style for the PdfGridRow 

pdfGrid.Rows[0].Style = pdfGridRowStyle; 

 

Change the font for particular cell:  

UG link: https://help.syncfusion.com/file-formats/pdf/working-with-tables#cell-customization-in-pdfgrid  

 

//Specify the style for the PdfGridCell 

PdfGridCellStyle pdfGridCellStyle = new PdfGridCellStyle(); 

pdfGridCellStyle.Font = new PdfStandardFont(PdfFontFamily.TimesRoman, 20, PdfFontStyle.Italic); 

 

//Apply style 

PdfGridCell pdfGridCell = pdfGrid.Rows[1].Cells[0]; 

pdfGridCell.Style = pdfGridCellStyle; 

 

Change the font for particular column using BeginCellLayout event handler:  

UG link: https://help.syncfusion.com/file-formats/pdf/working-with-tables#columns-customization-in-pdfgrid  

 

private static void PdfGrid_BeginCellLayout(object sender, PdfGridBeginCellLayoutEventArgs args) 

{ 

     //Change the font style for Column 1 

    if(!args.IsHeaderRow && args.CellIndex==1) 

    { 

        args.Style.Font = new PdfStandardFont(PdfFontFamily.TimesRoman, 0, PdfFontStyle.Underline); 

    } 

} 

 

We have created the sample to illustrate the same. Please find the download link from below,

Thank you again Sowmiya!

The last solution based on the event functioned like a charm. Interesting notice that the documentation is based on the PDFLightTable and because of this I didn't realize it could be done with PDFGrid (which I utilize to export Datagrid to PDF format).

You're really bad!

Warm hugs and have a very nice weekend.

Hi DavidBS,   

 

Thank you for the update.   

 

The documentation for PDF table contains both PdfGrid and PdfLightTable. Please refer the below documentation for your reference,   

https://help.syncfusion.com/file-formats/pdf/working-with-tables    

 

However, please let us know if you want to export DataGrid to PDF, it will helpful for us to provide the solution on this.
