Hi,

I am creating a list of table data by using the PDFLightTable. All is working fine, but now I want to insert a pagebreak, when the employee (column(5)) in the table changes. How can I do that?

To draw the list I use the command

table.Draw(page, rect, format)

Thanks

Hi Erich,

Thank you for your interest in Syncfusion products.

If your intention is to paginate the PdfLightTable,it can be achieved by setting the format.Layout as PdfLayoutType.Paginate.

Kindly refer the below code snippet.

//Use DataTable as source
PdfLightTable table = new PdfLightTable();
//Set layout properties
PdfLayoutFormat format = new PdfLayoutFormat();
format.Break = PdfLayoutBreakType.FitElement;
format.Layout = PdfLayoutType.Paginate;
//Draw table
table.Draw(page, PointF.Empty, format);
doc.Save("Sample.pdf");

Could you please find the sample from the below location and let us know if this helps.

Hi Thiru,

my requirement is to insert a pagebreak, when the value of a column-field changes.
My list includes employees with projects and working hours. When the employee changes I want to set a pagebreak. Is it possible to set a conditional pagebreak.

Thanks

Hi Erich,

Sorry for delay in getting back to you on this.

I regret to let you know that "conditional pagebreak" is not possible in our PdfLightTable.

Please let us know if you need any further information.

Hi Thiru,

I found a solution. I fill a datatable for each employee and after table.draw I add a new page for the next employee.
Now there is a new problem with the header data, where I want to draw the name of the employee. On every page is the name of the last selected employee.

Here the VB code:

If dataTable.Count > 0 Then
page = doc.Pages.Add()

format.Break = PdfLayoutBreakType.FitElement
format.Layout = PdfLayoutType.Paginate
employee = dataTable.Item(0).employee.ToString
ret = runHeader()

table.Draw(page, rect, format)
ret = runFooter()
End If

Protected Function runHeader() As Integer
Dim img As PdfImage = New PdfBitmap(logo)
Dim bezeichnung As String = "Arbeitsrapport " + employee
Dim header As PdfPageTemplateElement = New
PdfPageTemplateElement(0, 0, doc.Pages(0).GetClientSize().Width, 40)

Dim headerStyle As PdfCellStyle = New PdfCellStyle(font_header, PdfBrushes.White, PdfPens.DarkBlue)

'Create cell styles
headerStyle.BackgroundBrush = New PdfSolidBrush(System.Drawing.Color.FromArgb(33, 67, 126))
header.Graphics.DrawString(bezeichnung, headerStyle.Font, headerStyle.BackgroundBrush, 70, 1)
header.Graphics.DrawImage(img, 0, 0, 60, 25)

doc.Template.Top = header
End Function


How can I change the header?

Thanks
