I'm trying to export to PDF and produce the same results as we get from the UltraGridPrintDocument when printing. I can produce a PDF using the UltraGridDocumentExporter (as below), but I can't seem to control the margins, or the size of the grid (i.e. not just scaling to fit one page). Also, if I try to export a large grid I get an 'OutOfMemoryException'.
Infragistics.Documents.Report.Report report = new Infragistics.Documents.Report.Report(); ultraGridDocumentExporter1.AutoSize = Infragistics.Win.UltraWinGrid.DocumentExport.AutoSize.SizeColumnsAndRowsToContent; ISection section = report.AddSection(); section.PageMargins.Left = 30; section.PageMargins.Top = 20; section.PageMargins.Bottom = 20; section.PageMargins.Right = 30; ISectionHeader _header = section.AddHeader(); _header.Height = 80; IText rptHeader = _header.AddText(0, 0); Style textStyle = new Style(new Infragistics.Documents.Graphics.Font("Tahoma", 18), Infragistics.Documents.Graphics.Brushes.Black); rptHeader.Alignment = TextAlignment.Center; StringBuilder headerText = new StringBuilder(); headerText.Append("left text"); headerText.Append("center text"); headerText.Append("right text"); rptHeader.AddContent(headerText.ToString(), textStyle); ISectionFooter _footer = section.AddFooter(); _footer.Height = 80; IText rptFooter = _footer.AddText(0, 0); StringBuilder footerText = new StringBuilder(); footerText.Append("footer left text "); footerText.Append("center text "); footerText.Append("right text); rptFooter.Alignment = TextAlignment.Center; rptFooter.AddContent(footerText.ToString(), textStyle);
ultraGridDocumentExporter1.Export(ultraWinGrid1, section); report.Publish(@"C:\test.pdf", Infragistics.Documents.Report.FileFormat.PDF);
Help appreciated! thanks
PDF format works differently than printing. You cannot span a grid across multiple pages horizontally when exporting to PDF. Adobe Acrobat reader does not support this sort of printing, anyway, as far as I know. So the grid will always be fit to a single page and the page size is adjusted by the exporter so that it can fit the entire grid on one page.
I don't know about the OutOfMemoryException. I suppose if your grid is really huge, it's possible you could run out of memory on the machine.
Ok. Thanks Mike.
How big a grid are we talking about here? Personally, I've exported a few thousand rows with no problems.
If you can duplicate the Out Of Memory exception in a small sample projec, you should Submit an incident to Infragistics Developer Support so they can check it out. There are, of course, some reasonable limits to the amount of memory any particular machine can handle, but we can certainly take a look and make sure this is not a bug.
Using the code below to export to a PDF file I am losing columns and the final column on the page does not fit so it is being cut in half. Currently running INF 10.3
Infragistics.Documents.Report.Report pdfReport = new Infragistics.Documents.Report.Report();#region . Add Header .ISection section = pdfReport.AddSection();IText sectionHeader = section.AddText();sectionHeader.AddContent(string.Format("Order Inquire"));sectionHeader.AddLineBreak();sectionHeader.AddContent(string.Format("Some text"));sectionHeader.AddLineBreak();sectionHeader.AddContent(string.Format("Printed: " + DateTime.Now.ToString()));sectionHeader.AddLineBreak();sectionHeader.AddLineBreak();sectionHeader.Alignment = Infragistics.Documents.Report.TextAlignment.Center;this.ultraGridDocumentExporter.Export(this.ultraGrid1, section);Infragistics.Documents.Report.IGap sectionGap = section.AddGap();sectionGap.Height = new Infragistics.Documents.Report.FixedHeight((float)25);this.ultraGridDocumentExporter.Export(this.posPaymentGrid, section);#endregionpdfReport.Publish(saveFileDialogPDF.FileName, Infragistics.Documents.Report.FileFormat.PDF);
However if I do not add the section and simply do the code below. All the columns print and are resized to fit.
this.ultraGridDocumentExporter.Export(this.ultraGrid1, saveFileDialogPDF.FileName);
Am I adding the section correctly or is the section causing the grid not to be resized?
Hi Michael,
I tried out your and it works just fine for me. I did my test with the latest service release of NetAdvantage 2010.3. So maybe you are using an older version (without the latest service release). Or perhaps there is something different about your grid and mine.
If you can post a small sample project demonstrating the problem here, I'd be happy to test it out with the latest service release to see if the issue is fixed or if it's just some other factor in your application causing the issue.
It would be very difficult to create a sample project at this time. When I remove the two lines of code listed below the export works correctly.
Infragistics.Documents.Report.IGap sectionGap = section.AddGap();sectionGap.Height = new Infragistics.Documents.Report.FixedHeight((float)25);
