[Solved] Customize Export PDF

[Robert]

I am trying to customize my PDF when I export.  I was wondering how to

1.  Add a title to my PDF file.
2. Make it landscape.
3. How to set a certain width to each column.

Thanks for your help.

Hi Robert,

For adding extra information to the exported file you may either make use of the CommandItemTemplate as mentioned in the following help article.
Exporting tips and tricks



Or else you can set the title for the PDF document as shown below.

ASPX:

           <ExportSettings>
             <Pdf  Title="PDf Title"  PageHeight="500px" />
            </ExportSettings>

Go through the following  forum link which explains how to set the width of column while exporting.

Hello Robert,

You can get a lanscsape orientation on exporting your grid to pdf  by setting the PageHeight and PageWidth properties as shown below:
c#:

  protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        RadGrid1.ExportSettings.ExportOnlyData = true;
        RadGrid1.ExportSettings.OpenInNewWindow = true;
        RadGrid1.ExportSettings.IgnorePaging = true;

        RadGrid1.ExportSettings.Pdf.PageHeight = Unit.Parse("162mm");
        RadGrid1.ExportSettings.Pdf.PageWidth = Unit.Parse("600mm");
        RadGrid1.MasterTableView.ExportToPdf();
    }

Thanks
Princy.
