DrawString prints of page with large strings.

[LukeRH]

Hey, I've run into a problem with writing long strings to the pdf page using .Canvas.DrawString().

A quick summary of what im doing.

PdfDocument doc = new PdfDocument();
PdfPageBase page = doc.Pages.Add(PdfPageSize.A4);

page.Canvas.DrawString(long sting, new PdfTrueTypeFont(new Font("Calibri Light", 12f, FontStyle.Regular)), new PdfSolidBrush(Color.Black), 0, y, format: new PdfStringFormat(PdfTextAlignment.Left));

I've tried adding margin to the page, but that didn't do any good.
The string still continues off the page.

Hello,

Thanks for your inquiry.
Please refer to the code below.

Code: Select all

PdfDocument doc = new PdfDocument();
            PdfPageBase page = doc.Pages.Add(PdfPageSize.A4);

            PdfTrueTypeFont font = new PdfTrueTypeFont(new Font("Calibri Light", 12f, FontStyle.Regular));
            PdfStringFormat format = new PdfStringFormat(PdfTextAlignment.Left);
            format.LineSpacing = 20f;
            PdfStringLayouter stringLayout = new PdfStringLayouter();
            PdfStringLayoutResult result = stringLayout.Layout(longString, font, format, new SizeF(page.GetClientSize().Width, 0));
            PointF position = new PointF(0, 0);
            foreach (LineInfo line in result.Lines)
            {

                page.Canvas.DrawString(line.Text, font, PdfBrushes.Black, position, format);
                position.Y = position.Y + result.LineHeight;
            }
            doc.SaveToFile("lognString.pdf");

If there's still any issue, please write back.
