[Solved] Cell Content is overlap while export to PDF

[Dharmesh]

Hello Everyone,

I am using export to pdf feature in one of my grid.
Now my problem is data is overlapped in two columns while export to pdf file.

I had faced similar behavior while displaying rad grid and corrected by using following property
<MasterTableView TableLayout="Auto">
<ClientSettings>
      <Resizing ClipCellContentOnResize="false">
</ClientSettings>
</MasterTableView>

So my data overlap into 2 columns each other is resolved but similar issue i am facing while export same content to pdf

Seems rad grid not reading columns properties while exporting.

So any one have idea how to resolve it?

Regards,

Dharmesh

Hello Dharmesh,

Try setting the width of columns in ItemCommand event to avoid overlapping to cell contents when exporting to pdf. Hope this helps you.

C#:

protected void RadGrid2_ItemCommand(object sender, GridCommandEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.CommandName == "ExportToPdf")
  {
  GridColumn column = RadGrid2.MasterTableView.GetColumn("ColumnUniqueName");
 column.HeaderStyle.Width = Unit.Pixel(300);
  }
}

Thanks,
Princy.

Hello Princy,

Thanks for reply.

But my issue is that I do not have column name as i am binding DataSet to grid run time which is populated run time.

So when I click on pdf export button I can not determined which column will cut in PDF version.

So is there any alternate solutions that we can apply in PDF export ?

Hello Dharmesh and Katie,

Basically there are several ways to avoid this behavior:

1) To make sure that you have an empty space in the text - this way RadGrid will be able to wrap the content in several lines.
2) To reduce the font size / use narrower fonts
3) To decrease the page margins
4) To increase the page size

All the best,
