Is Automatic Font and line spacing supported?

Question

Hello. I am considering purchasing your Suite package and I have stumbled across an issue with Essential PDF. I need to know if it supports automatic line spacing and font sizing if I tell it what to put within a certain region. So if I have a 100 pixel by 100 pixel box (or region), will Essential PDF figure out the best line spacing and font for me, or do I have to do the math myself? I''m trying to create a series of charts in a PDF file using pie charts and then align the text next to the charts. For an example of what I''m trying to do, go here: https://www.ftjfundchoice.com/AccountServices/StrategyOverviews/SAPPortfolio.pdf See how some charts that have less funds in them have bigger font sizes and greater line spacing then charts with a lot of funds. I have tried to create everything in chart software, but the text in the legend gets too hard to read because I have to put 5 models on a page just like in the PDF listed. Please let me know either way. Thanks guys...

Ajish, thanks for the Windows forms sample.  I agree that the EMF file format is the way to go.  Since it is vector based it is easy to see and print in a PDF.  The problem is that I need this to work in a Web app and ChartControl doesn''t work.  ChartWebContrl is the only chart that I can use apparantly.  I need to create the chart dynamicaly in the APSX page and then stream it to the PDF software.  I''ve tried everything I can think of, saving the Image (which defeats the EMF file) streaming it to memory (I get a GDI+ error).  Is there a way to get your example to work in a Web application?  thanks in advance for your time.  Dallas
