Hello, Tra,

Thank you for writing.  

Here is demonstrated a sample code snippet demonstrating how to create a custom RadPdfViewer in order to hide the Headers/Footers tab in the PdfPrintSettingsDialog: 

public class CustomPdfView : RadPdfViewer
{
    protected override RadPdfViewerElement CreateViewerElement()
    {
        return new CustomRadPdfViewerElement();
    }
}

public class CustomRadPdfViewerElement : RadPdfViewerElement
{
    public CustomRadPdfViewerElement()
    {
    }

    public override void PrintPreview(RadPrintDocument document)
    {
        if (document != null)
        {
            document.AssociatedObject = this;
            CustomPdfPrintPreviewDialog dialog = new CustomPdfPrintPreviewDialog(document);
            dialog.ThemeName = ((RadControl)this.ElementTree.Control).ThemeName;
            if (dialog.DialogResult != DialogResult.Abort)
            {
                dialog.ShowDialog();
            }

            dialog.Dispose();
        }
    }
}

public class CustomPdfPrintPreviewDialog : PdfPrintPreviewDialog
{
    RadPrintDocument printDocument;
    RadFixedDocument fixedDocument;

    public CustomPdfPrintPreviewDialog(RadPrintDocument document) : base(document)
    {
        this.printDocument = document;
        RadPdfViewerElement pdfViewerElement = printDocument.AssociatedObject as RadPdfViewerElement;
        RadPdfViewer pdfViewer = printDocument.AssociatedObject as RadPdfViewer;

        this.fixedDocument = pdfViewer == null ? pdfViewerElement == null ? null : pdfViewerElement.Document : pdfViewer.Document;
    }

    protected override void OnShowPrintSettingsDialog()
    {
        if (this.printDocument == null)
        {
            return;
        }

        PdfPrintSettingsDialog dialog = this.printDocument.AssociatedObject.GetSettingsDialog(this.printDocument) as PdfPrintSettingsDialog;
        RadPageView pageView = dialog.Controls["radPageView1"] as RadPageView;
        pageView.Pages.Last().Item.Visibility = ElementVisibility.Collapsed;
        RadForm radDialog = dialog as RadForm;

        if (radDialog != null)
        {
            radDialog.ThemeName = this.ThemeName;
        }

        if (dialog.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
        {
            this.printDocument.PrinterSettings.PrintRange = System.Drawing.Printing.PrintRange.AllPages;
            this.UpdatePreview();
        }

        RadGroupBox radGroupBoxOrientation = this.Controls["radGroupBoxOrientation"] as RadGroupBox;
        RadRadioButton radRadioButtonLandscape = radGroupBoxOrientation.Controls["radRadioButtonLandscape"] as RadRadioButton;
        radRadioButtonLandscape.ToggleState = this.printDocument.Landscape && !this.printDocument.AutoPortraitLandscape ? ToggleState.On : ToggleState.Off;

        RadRadioButton radRadioButtonAuto = radGroupBoxOrientation.Controls["radRadioButtonAuto"] as RadRadioButton;
        radRadioButtonAuto.ToggleState = this.printDocument.AutoPortraitLandscape ? ToggleState.On : ToggleState.Off;
    }

    private void UpdatePreview()
    {
        if (this.fixedDocument == null || this.fixedDocument.Pages.Count == 0)
        {
            return;
        }

        this.UpdateScaleLabelText();
        this.UpdatePaperSizeText();
        this.UpdatePagePreview();
        this.UpdateCurrentPageText();
    }
}

Hello, Richard,

Thank you for writing.  

Note that RadPdfViewer requires .NET Framework 4.0 and cannot be used with an older version. The following references are necessary when using RadPdfViewer in your project:

I got a error Telerik.WinControls.UI.RadPrintDocument' does not contain a definition for 'AutoPortraitLandscape' and no extension method 'AutoPortraitLandscape' accepting a first argument of type.

[Dess | Tech Support Engineer, Principal]

Hello, Richard,

I suppose that you are using an older version because the AutoPortraitLandscape property is available in the latest version.  Could you please specify what is the exact version of the Telerik UI for WinForms suite that you are currently using?

I'm using version 14

Hello, Richard,      

Thank you for writing back. 

Telerik UI for WinForms suite uses the following versions format: [Year].[ReleaseNumber].[Date], e.g. 2018.1 220 for the latest version. I suppose that you may be using another product. Could you please confirm whether you use the Telerik UI for WinForms product and check the installed version in Visual Studio's Toolbox: 



I hope this information helps. If you have any additional questions, please let me know.

I'm sorry I'm using 2015.

I'm using 2015

Hello, Richard,      

Thank you for writing back. 

Indeed, in Q2 2015 the AutoPortraitLandscape property is not available since this functionality had not been implemented yet for RadPdfViewer. You can simply comment this part of the code. Alternatively, feel free to upgrade to the latest version where the AutoPortraitLandscape property exists.  

If you have any additional questions, please let me know.

how do I bind your custom class to my pdfviewernavigator so that i can disable my Header/Footer I tried using this

            this.radPdfViewerNavigator1.AssociatedViewer = this.radPdfViewer1;
            CustomPdfPrintPreviewDialog customPdfDialog = new CustomPdfPrintPreviewDialog();
            customPdfDialog(radPdfViewerNavigator1);

Hello, Richard,      

Thank you for writing back. 

I have attached a sample project for your reference. A RadPdfViewerNavigator and a RadPdfViewer are added to the form at design time by simply dragging the control from the toolbox and dropping in on the form. The RadPdfViewerNavigator.AssociatedControl is set the pdf viewer instance. Then, in the designer file you need to replace the default RadPdfViewer with the custom one: 

private void InitializeComponent()
{
    this.radPdfViewerNavigator1 = new Telerik.WinControls.UI.RadPdfViewerNavigator();
    this.radPdfViewer1 = new CustomPdfView();

    // some other code
}
