Vertical PdfCompositeField

[Asko Niemi]

Hello,

Is it possible to draw a PdfCompositeField vertically? I have a composite field that displays page number and page count. I would like to display the field vertically in page footer.

Here's an example of my code:

PdfPageNumberField pn = new PdfPageNumberField(f, b);
PdfPageCountField pc = new PdfPageCountField(f, b);

PdfCompositeField cf = new PdfCompositeField(f, b, "{0} / {1}", pn, pc);
cf.Bounds = new RectangleF(0, 0, 50, 50);
cf.StringFormat = new PdfStringFormat();
cf.StringFormat.WordWrap = PdfWordWrapType.Word;
cf.StringFormat.Alignment = PdfTextAlignment.Center;
cf.StringFormat.LineAlignment = PdfVerticalAlignment.Middle;

PdfPageTemplateElement footer = new PdfPageTemplateElement(rect)
footer.Graphics.RotateTransform(-90);
cf.Draw(footer.Graphics);

The code above draws the field horizontally even though the coordinate system is rotated.

My Essential Studio version is 7.2.0.37.

Best regards,
Asko

Hi Asko,

Thank you for using Syncfusion Products.

It is not possible to draw vertical composite field.
PdfPageNumberField and PdfCompositeField are known as dynamic fields(or automatic fields). These fields display information calculated automatically,just before the object is saved.
Hence the text will be drawn only in the horizontal mode, even though Graphics is rotated.

To know more about Dynamic/Automatic fields, Please look into our User Guide in the following link.
