[Solved] exportToPdf style

[Patrick]

Hello,

i have an issue with exporttopdf.
even when i set the scale, fittopagewidth properties the result (pdf) looks everytime the same.
my code:

ExportToPDF pdf = new ExportToPDF(this._rg);
          pdf.ExportVisualSettings = true;

          pdf.Scale = 0.4f;
          pdf.FitToPageWidth = true;

          //pdf.TableBorderThickness = 0;
          pdf.RunExport(path);

thx for help

Hello Patrick,

Indeed, the scale will scale the content accordingly of the content. I have tried this in a new project and using your code, the output scales according to the scale property. The FitToPageWidth will determine of the content will spill over if required.

I have prepared a small example for you to try. Please can you let me know how this looks to you
