How to prevent text wrapping and export two pages wide?

[will.marriott]

How can I prevent text wrapping within a table? It would be nice if the text didn't appear on multiple lines. To achieve this it would sometimes require the table to be 2 pages wide. Is this possible as well?

Hello Will,

Sorry for late reply as weekend. Thanks for your inquiry.
Regarding your issue, you could only set the width of the Pdf page to prevent text wrapping within a table. Please refer to the following code.

Code: Select all

PdfDocument doc = new PdfDocument();
            PdfSection sec = doc.Sections.Add();
            sec.PageSettings.Width=PdfPageSize.A4.Width * 2;//set the page size according to your need or calculating
            PdfPageBase page = sec.Pages.Add();
            float y = 10;
            PdfBrush brush1 = PdfBrushes.Black;
            PdfTrueTypeFont font1 = new PdfTrueTypeFont(new Font("Arial", 16f, FontStyle.Bold));
            PdfStringFormat format1 = new PdfStringFormat(PdfTextAlignment.Center);
            page.Canvas.DrawString("Country List", font1, brush1, page.Canvas.ClientSize.Width / 2, y, format1);
            y = y + font1.MeasureString("Country List", format1).Height;
            y = y + 5;

            String[] data
                = {
                    "Name;Capital;Continent;Area;Population;Name;Capital;Continent;Area;Population;Name;Capital;Continent;Area;Population;Name;Capital;Continent;Area",
                    "Argentina;Buenos Aires;South America;2777815;32300003;Argentina;Buenos Aires;South America;2777815;32300003;Argentina;Buenos Aires;South America;2777815;32300003;Argentina;Buenos Aires;South America;2777815",
                    "Argentina;Buenos Aires;South America;2777815;32300003;Argentina;Buenos Aires;South America;2777815;32300003;Argentina;Buenos Aires;South America;2777815;32300003;Argentina;Buenos Aires;South America;2777815",
                    "Argentina;Buenos Aires;South America;2777815;32300003;Argentina;Buenos Aires;South America;2777815;32300003;Argentina;Buenos Aires;South America;2777815;32300003;Argentina;Buenos Aires;South America;2777815",
                    "Argentina;Buenos Aires;South America;2777815;32300003;Argentina;Buenos Aires;South America;2777815;32300003;Argentina;Buenos Aires;South America;2777815;32300003;Argentina;Buenos Aires;South America;2777815",
                    "Argentina;Buenos Aires;South America;2777815;32300003;Argentina;Buenos Aires;South America;2777815;32300003;Argentina;Buenos Aires;South America;2777815;32300003;Argentina;Buenos Aires;South America;2777815",
                    "Argentina;Buenos Aires;South America;2777815;32300003;Argentina;Buenos Aires;South America;2777815;32300003;Argentina;Buenos Aires;South America;2777815;32300003;Argentina;Buenos Aires;South America;2777815"
                };

            String[][] dataSource
                = new String[data.Length][];
            for (int i = 0; i < data.Length; i++)
            {
                dataSource[i] = data[i].Split(';');
            }

            PdfTable table = new PdfTable(); 
            table.Style.HeaderSource = PdfHeaderSource.Rows;
            table.Style.HeaderRowCount = 1;
            table.Style.ShowHeader = true;
            table.DataSource = dataSource;
            PdfLayoutResult result = table.Draw(page, new PointF(0, y));
            doc.SaveToFile("SimpleTable.pdf");
            doc.Close();

This is not ideal. The last export library I used automatically sized the table and exported two or more pages wide if required.

Hello Will,

Thanks for your feedback.
Sorry that at present our Spire.Pdf product doesn't support the feature that column width automatically adjusts to the text in table.
