Orientation "Landscape" wrong in all none PDF saveToFile()

[PrintPro]

Hi Support team,
when using page orientation "Landscape" in combination with sections - all none pdf exports (DOCX, HTML,SVG,...) are wrong.
Workaround (but no solution due to performance reason) is: Save the document as pdf - then saveToFile() works for all other formats correct.

Code: Select all

//DOC
PdfDocument doc = new PdfDocument();
           
PdfSection section = doc.Sections.Add();
section.PageSettings.Margins = new PdfMargins(0, 0, 0, 0);
section.PageSettings.Size = PdfPageSize.A4;
section.PageSettings.Orientation = PdfPageOrientation.Landscape; //LANDSCAPE !!!
           
//NEW PAGE
PdfNewPage page =  section.Pages.Add();

PdfSolidBrush brush = new PdfSolidBrush(Color.Black);
PdfFontBase fontFamily = new PdfTrueTypeFont(new Font("Arial", 15), true);
page.Canvas.DrawString("SUPPOSED TO BE TOP LEFT", fontFamily, brush,new PointF(10,20));

//Just remove below comment and orientation works in all other formats
//doc.SaveToFile("orientation.pdf");
doc.SaveToFile("orientation.docx", FileFormat.DOCX);

Dear Christian,

Thank you for contacting us.
I noticed the issue that the page orientation "Landscape" didn't work if directly save to DOCX, HTML and SVG formats. I have submitted the issue to our Dev team for further investigation. If there is any update, we will inform you. Sorry for the inconvenience caused.

Sincerely,

Hi,

After further investigation, the code you used to set the page orientation before didn't take effect. The reason is that it doesn't conform to the internal mechanism of setting the orientation in our Spire.PDF. The following code would make sense for the setting. Please use it instead.

Code: Select all

            PdfDocument doc = new PdfDocument();
            PdfPageSettings ps = new PdfPageSettings(PdfPageSize.A4, PdfPageOrientation.Landscape);
            PdfSection section = doc.Sections.Add(ps);
            section.PageSettings.Margins = new PdfMargins(0, 0, 0, 0);
            PdfNewPage page = section.Pages.Add();
            PdfSolidBrush brush = new PdfSolidBrush(Color.Black);
            PdfFontBase fontFamily = new PdfTrueTypeFont(new Font("Arial", 15), true);
            page.Canvas.DrawString("SUPPOSED TO BE TOP LEFT", fontFamily, brush, new PointF(10, 20));
            doc.SaveToFile("orientation.html", FileFormat.HTML);
