Can't extend table width

[jumper4000]

I'm trying to add a table to an existing pdf, but no matter what I've tried, the table width will not extend past a certain point on the page. I've tried everything I could including setting the column width individually. No matter what, the table width won't extend.

If I start with a new PDF, the table width will fully extend to the width of the page.

Is there anything I can do to extend this table further?

Dear jumper4000,

Thanks for your inquiry.
We first suggest you use the latest Spire.PDF Pack(Hot Fix) Version:4.4.11 which includes all improvements. If the issue still exists after trying, please provide your input PDF and the code you were using for further investigation.

Hi, I installed the latest 4.4.11 version and I'm still running into the same issue. I'm not too sure, but I have a feeling, it has to do with adding a section to the existing page, and setting page size and margins. Hopefully you can figure it out. Here's a simplified version of my code -

Code: Select all

dfDocument doc = new PdfDocument();
            string strTemplatePath = @"Templates\Test.pdf";
            doc.LoadFromFile(strTemplatePath); 
            PdfPageBase page = doc.Pages[0];

            PdfTable table = new PdfTable();

            int iOrderNumber = 9949173;

            string connectionString = "Data Source=SQL;Initial Catalog=DB;Integrated Security=True";
            string detailQueryString = @"
                SELECT * FROM Test WHERE OrderNum = @iOrderNumber   
                ";

            SqlConnection SQLConn = new SqlConnection(connectionString);
            SqlCommand SQLCmd = new SqlCommand(detailQueryString, SQLConn);
            using (SQLConn = new SqlConnection(connectionString))
            {
                SQLCmd = new SqlCommand(detailQueryString, SQLConn);
                SQLCmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@iOrderNumber", iOrderNumber);
                using (SqlDataAdapter dataAdapter = new SqlDataAdapter(SQLCmd))
                {
                    DataTable dataTable = new DataTable();
                    dataAdapter.Fill(dataTable);
                    table.DataSourceType = PdfTableDataSourceType.TableDirect;
                    table.DataSource = dataTable;
                }
            } 
            PdfLayoutResult result = table.Draw(page, new PointF(0, 400));

            string strFilePath = @"archive\test.pdf";
            doc.SaveToFile(strFilePath);
            doc.Close();
            PDFDocumentViewer(strFilePath);

Dear jumper4000,

Thanks for your code.
You guess is partially right, the cause of your issue is that there is 40 margin by default when loading a pdf. You could set the margin to "0", then the table width will cover the entire page.

Code: Select all

doc.PageSettings.Margins = new PdfMargins(0);

If there is any question, welcome to get it back to us.
