Pagination in PdfGridCell

[olivborc]

How is this intended to be implemented?

Code: Select all

         PdfGrid headerGrid = new PdfGrid();
         headerGrid.Columns.Add(3);

         var hRow1 = headerGrid.Rows.Add();

         PdfTrueTypeFont font = new PdfTrueTypeFont(new Font("Impact", 10f), true);
         PdfPageNumberField number = new PdfPageNumberField();
         PdfPageCountField count = new PdfPageCountField();
         PdfCompositeField compositeField = new PdfCompositeField(font, PdfBrushes.Gray, "Page {0} of {1}", number, count);
         compositeField.StringFormat = new PdfStringFormat(PdfTextAlignment.Right, PdfVerticalAlignment.Top);

         hRow1.Cells[2].Value = compositeField; // <- does not work... i don't want to use compositeField.Draw(...)


My goal is to use a grid in a header template and besides text and images, i want to add pagination in one of the cells.

Hi,

Thanks for your inquiry.
Kindly note that "compositeField" object must be drawn on PDF pages. You only can assign a string value for "hRow1.Cells [2] .Value". As for your situation, you can refer to the following sample code to draw the field in grid cell. The attament is my testing result. If there is still any issue, please provide us with your full testing code as well as your desired effect of output to help further look into it. You can upload here or send them to us via email([email protected]).

Code: Select all

            PdfDocument doc = new PdfDocument();
            PdfPageBase page = doc.Pages.Add();
            PdfPageTemplateElement headerTemplate = new PdfPageTemplateElement(page.ActualSize.Width, 200);
            doc.Template.Top = headerTemplate;
            //add grid
            PdfGrid headerGrid = new PdfGrid();
            headerGrid.Columns.Add(3);
            var hRow1 = headerGrid.Rows.Add();
            hRow1.Height = 50f;
            float gridX = 0;
            float gridY = 30;
            //field for page number
            PdfTrueTypeFont font = new PdfTrueTypeFont(new Font("Impact", 10f), true);
            PdfPageNumberField number = new PdfPageNumberField();
            PdfPageCountField count = new PdfPageCountField();
            PdfCompositeField compositeField = new PdfCompositeField(font, PdfBrushes.Gray, "Page {0} of {1}", number, count);
            compositeField.StringFormat = new PdfStringFormat(PdfTextAlignment.Right, PdfVerticalAlignment.Top);
            //draw grid on page
            headerGrid.Draw(page, new PointF(gridX, gridY));
            //draw field on page
            float width = headerGrid.Columns[0].Width + headerGrid.Columns[1].Width + headerGrid.Columns[2].Width / 3;
            float height = gridY + hRow1.Height / 3;
            compositeField.Draw(headerTemplate.Graphics, width, height);
            //save
            doc.SaveToFile("result.pdf");
