How do I make the grid layout occupy entire whitespace available on exported PDF document
posted

I have been trying to make the grid export to PDF in a WYSIWYG manner

I have been "almost" successful with very less code

void ultraGridDocumentExporter1_ExportStarted
(object sender, Infragistics.Win.UltraWinGrid.DocumentExport.ExportStartedEventArgs e)
{
e.Section.PageSize = PageSizes.A4;
e.Section.PageMargins = new Infragistics.Documents.Reports.Report.Margins(
PageMargins.Narrow.Left, PageMargins.Narrow.Right,
PageMargins.Narrow.Top, PageMargins.Narrow.Bottom);
e.Section.PagePaddings = new Paddings(0);
e.Section.PageOrientation = Infragistics.Documents.Reports.Report.PageOrientation.Landscape;
e.Section.PageAlignment = Infragistics.Documents.Reports.Report.ContentAlignment.Center;
}

I get the fonts, column widths, row height correctly as seen in the grid inside of windows forms container

But the grid layout inside of PDF document does not occupy (stretch or shrink) the entire whitespace available on the PDF document (see red blocks in the attached PDF screenshot) - what am I not doing right?

Thanks!

    Hi Ameya,

    Thank you for posting in our forums.

    After looking into this and doing some research, “Fitting the grid to one page in PDF” has been determined to be a new product idea. You can suggest new product ideas for future versions (or vote for existing ones) at <http://ideas.infragistics.com>.

    There are many benefits to submitting a product idea:

    -          Direct communication with our product management team regarding your product idea.

    -          Notifications whenever new information regarding your idea becomes available.

    -          Ability to vote on your favorite product ideas to let us know which ones are the most important to you.  You will have ten votes for this and can change which ideas you are voting for at any time.

    -          Allow you to shape the future of our products by requesting new controls and products altogether.

    -          You and other developers can discuss existing product ideas with members of our Product Management team.

    Steps to create your idea:        

    1.       Log into the Infragistics Product Idea site at http://ideas.infragistics.com (creating a new login if needed).

    2.       Navigate to the product / platform channel of your choice (e.g. WPF, Windows Forms, ASP.NET, HTML5 / Ignite UI, iOS / NucliOS, etc.)

    3.       Add your product idea and be sure to be specific and provide as much detail as possible.

    • Explain the context in which a feature would be used, why it is needed, why it can’t be accomplished today, and who would benefit from it. You can even add screenshots to build a stronger case. Remember that for your suggestion to be successful, you need other members of the community to vote for it. Be convincing!
    • Include a link to this thread in your idea so product management will be able to look back at this case. 

     

    The Product Idea site puts you in the driver’s seat and allows you to track the progress of your ideas at any time, see how many votes it got, read comments from other developers in the community, and see if someone from the product team has additional questions for you.
