Print to PDF

[Alex Dybenko]

Hi,

I know about export to PDF, but is it possible to print PivotGrid directly to PDF file, with headers/footers/watermarks, etc?

Thanks,

Alex

Hello Alex,

As long as you have a PDF print driver you can print to PDF just like with any other printer. On Windows 10, you can achieve it this way: 

PivotGridPrintStyle style = new PivotGridPrintStyle()
{
    LayoutType = PivotLayout.Compact
};

this.radPivotGrid1.PrintStyle = style;

PrinterSettings printerSettings = new PrinterSettings()
{
    PrinterName = "Microsoft Print to PDF",
    PrintToFile = true,
    PrintFileName = @"test.pdf"
};

RadPrintDocument doc = new RadPrintDocument()
{
    PrinterSettings = printerSettings,
    AssociatedObject = this.radPivotGrid1
};

doc.Print();

For other operating systems you may need to install additional drivers. Let me know if you have other questions.

Hi Hristo,

I just thought that I can pass RadPrintDocument to something like Telerik.Windows.Documents.someobject for export :)

Thanks,

Alex

Hi Alex,

We do not have a library to handle globally the printing of the different controls. Printing is handled individually according to the specifics of the control. The control needs to implement the IPrintable interface. The RadPrintDocument extends the standard PrintDocument class and adds API related to the controls in the suite.

Let me know if you have other questions.
