Dear all,
I am using below code to export List<string> array into PDF. But find that there is a issue as shown in the attached file. It shows different in length in the dotnet debugger and in the PDF. But they are same length when I paste them into notepad. Is there any way to show correctly in the PDF??
Infragistics.Documents.Report.Table.ITable table = section.AddTable();Infragistics.Documents.Report.Table.ITableRow row = table.AddRow(); cell = row.AddCell(); text = cell.AddText(); text.Style = style1; text.AddContent(printLine);..................................................................this.report.Publish(fileName, FileFormat.PDF);
Hi,
I can't see any reason why this code would be any different than writing text using Arial in the usual way. Arial is not a fixed-width font, though - at least I don't think it is. So I don't see how this would help.
Dear Mike,
Is it possible to use below method to solve variable-length font problems?? Boss give me!!!
private void Form1_Paint(object sender, PaintEventArgs e){String drawString = "Sample Text";// Create font and brush.Font drawFont = new Font("Arial", 16);SolidBrush drawBrush = new SolidBrush(Color.Black);// Create point for upper-left corner of drawing.PointF drawPoint = new PointF(150.0F, 150.0F);// Draw string to screen.e.Graphics.DrawString(drawString, drawFont, drawBrush, drawPoint);}
The issue you are having does not appear to have anything to do with Infragistics or the controls, it's just a question of the behavior of the fonts you are using.
Are you sure there are no fixed-width fonts in Chinese? I could be wrong, I know very little about Chinese, but I find that hard to beleive.
Are you saying that the same PDF document prints correctly aligned when you print on a particular printer?
If the words are in chinese, then no fixed width font. Is there any tools or library in infragistics that I can use?? As we find that when print to Epson T88IVM thermal printer, the output is in align even with chinese non-fixed width font.
Both Visual Studio and Notepad use a Fixed-Width font (Courier New, I think) by default.
PDF probably defaults to a variable-width font like MS Sans Serif.
So change your export code to use a fixed width font like Courier new so that all of the characters are the same width.
