Hi,

Thank you for your inquiry.

To format the PDFLightTable cell please use the BeginCellLayoutEvent. Please find the sample from the below location regarding this.

{Installed version}\My Documents\Syncfusion\EssentialStudio\7.1.0.30\Windows\Pdf.Windows\Samples\2.0\Tables\Table Features

Online documentation regarding this:
http://help.syncfusion.com/ug_71_new/pdf/TableCustomization.html

But we don't have support to display the Table header in Vertical format. Please let me know if you have any other questions.

Best Regards,

Hi Reaper,

Thanks for the update.

It is not possible to convert the PdfFont to System Font. Since Font class is differ from PdfFont class. Its not inherited from Font class. One possible ways is check like below and convert to the system font, but its not possible to convert all the properties to System font properties.

PdfFont font = new PdfStandardFont(PdfFontFamily.Helvetica, 12);
Font f = new Font(font.Name,font.Size );

Please let me know if you have any other questions.

Hi Reaper,

Yes, it is possible to draw images in the table each row by using the BeginCellLayout event of table object. Please refers to the below code to draw image in the PDF table row.

void  table_BeginCellLayout( object sender, BeginCellLayoutEventArgs args )
		{
			if( args.RowIndex == 10 )
			{
				if( args.CellIndex > 2 )
				{
					args.Graphics.DrawImage( m_image, args.Bounds );
				}
			}
		} 

For setting the row height based on the image height please use BeginRowLayout event handler and specify the row the height.


void SpecifyRowHeightTest_BeginRowLayout( object sender, BeginRowLayoutEventArgs args )
		{
		
		    args.MinimalHeight = m_heigth;//Specify the image height here				
			
		}
Please refer to the below sample which illustrates the same:
