How to export the Chart to PDF

[victor elizondo]

Hi guys

I just want to know "How to export a Chart to PDF?". I'm on Visual Basic .Net in C# and I'm using Syncfusion Essential Studio 6.4.0.15. Before of typing this, I tried to find out this theme in the Syncfusion forums, but the links with related information were broken.

Best Regards.

I have the code to xport Charts to PDF and it works fine ( this code below the black line), but I still need a lot the help from all of you. I've generated a PDF file with the chart that I have. I need to add to this PDF file a DataTable ( I will worry about this point later, however a little help it's welcome), but mainly I need to know how to make the size of the chart in the PDF a little bit tiny (I want to resize the chart in the PDF) and also add some text to this PDF file.

Besr regards.

using Syncfusion.Pdf;
using Syncfusion.Pdf.Graphics;

string fileName = @"C:\Users\Victor\Desktop\chartexport";
string exportFileName = fileName + ".pdf";
string file = fileName + ".jpg";
this.ChartWebControl1.SaveImage(file);

//Create a PDF document
PdfDocument pdfDoc = new PdfDocument();

//Add a page to the empty PDF document
pdfDoc.Pages.Add();

//Draw chart image in the first page
pdfDoc.Pages[0].Graphics.DrawImage(Syncfusion.Pdf.Graphics.PdfImage.FromFile(file), new PointF(10, 30));

//Save the PDF Document to disk.
pdfDoc.Save(exportFileName);

// Launches the file.
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(exportFileName);

Hi Victor,

Thank you for your interest in Syncfusion products.

You can specify the size to which you want to reduce the image as shown in the following code snippet.

pdfDoc.Pages[0].Graphics.DrawImage(Syncfusion.Pdf.Graphics.PdfImage.FromFile(file), new PointF(10, 30), new SizeF(100, 100));

// Write text to the top of the page
        PdfFont font = new PdfStandardFont(PdfFontFamily.Helvetica, 10f);
        pdfDoc.Pages[0].Graphics.DrawString("Chart exported to PDF", font, PdfBrushes.Black, new PointF(10, 10));

Also, above code snippet shows how to add text to the PDF page.

Please try this and let us know if you have any questions.

Regards,
Geetha
