[Solved] PDF Export Add/Modify

[Tayonee]

How do you add or modify an exported PDF.  I know how to set the property but cannot figure out how actually add data to the PDF or modify data in the PDF.

Thanks.

Hello Tayonee,

It is possible to modify the data before exporting to PDF. See the example;

CS:

protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    foreach (GridDataItem item in RadGrid1.MasterTableView.Items)
    {
        if (item["CategoryID"].Text == "1")
        {
            item["Description"].Text = "Modified";
        }
    }
    RadGrid1.ExportSettings.OpenInNewWindow = true;
    RadGrid1.MasterTableView.ExportToPdf();
}

If you need additional data as title, then you can use Caption or CommandItemTemplate for that. Also refer the link for more information about Exporting tips and tricks

Thanks,
Shinu.

Thanks for the response.  I cannot get the CommandItemTemplate working.  The text in the CommandItemTemplate region never shows up in the pdf.  Here is my code:

        <telerik:RadGrid ID="grdSearchResults" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="False" DataSourceID="sqlUserDetail"    AllowPaging="true" PageSize="20"
            GridLines="None" AllowMultiRowSelection="true" AllowSorting="true">
            <ExportSettings IgnorePaging="true" OpenInNewWindow="true" ExportOnlyData="false">
                <Pdf AllowAdd="true" AllowCopy="true" AllowModify="true" AllowPrinting="true" Author="Anonymous"
                    Keywords="None" PageBottomMargin="1in" PageLeftMargin="1in" PageRightMargin="1in" PageTopMargin="1in" PageTitle="Practicioner export document"
                    Subject="Practicioner Export" Title="Practicioner export" PaperSize="Letter" />
            </ExportSettings>            
            <HeaderContextMenu EnableTheming="True">
                <CollapseAnimation Type="OutQuint" Duration="200"></CollapseAnimation>
            </HeaderContextMenu>

            <MasterTableView DataSourceID="sqlUserDetail" DataKeyNames="UserID">
                <RowIndicatorColumn>
                    <HeaderStyle Width="20px"></HeaderStyle>
                </RowIndicatorColumn>
                
                <CommandItemTemplate>
                    Test additional data
                </CommandItemTemplate>


Also how do you add data to the pdf (I'm guessing that is what the AllowAdd property is for).

Hi Tayonee,

Have you set the CommandItemDisplay property to Top? If not try setting it as shown below.

ASPX:

<MasterTableView  CommandItemDisplay="Top" >

Thanks
