[Solved] Problems with ExportToPDF function

[Aytaç Utku TOPAL]

Hi,

I am using RadEditor which is Used by largely Turkish End-Users to provide them to create PDFs. Therefore, HTML window is not shown. But I have problems with Tables and Turkish Character when I export the content to PDF files. I guess third party HTML2PDF tool that radeditor using, does not support Turkish and not good at Converting Tables.  Do you have any idea about how can I walk around these?

Many Thanks in Advance

Kind Regards.

Hi Aytaç,

Currently to export a TABLE element, you should add COLGROUP and COL tags for each table row and set table width. You can do that programmatically using the following custom content filter:

<telerik:RadEditor ID="RadEditor1" runat="server" OnClientLoad="OnClientLoad" >
 <ImageManager ViewPaths="~/Images" UploadPaths="~/Images" />
 <ExportSettings OpenInNewWindow="true" />
    <Content>
    </Content>
</telerik:RadEditor>
<script type="text/javascript">
    var editorObject;
    function OnClientLoad(editor, args)
    {
       editor.get_filtersManager().add(new MyFilter());
       editorObject = editor;
    }

    MyFilter = function()
    {
       MyFilter.initializeBase(this);
       this.set_isDom(true);
       this.set_enabled(true);
       this.set_name("RadEditor filter");
       this.set_description("RadEditor filter description");
    }
    MyFilter.prototype =
    {
    //Table neeed 1) COLGOUPS!, 2) width!

       getHtmlContent : function(content)
       {
         var newContent = content;
         var tables = newContent.getElementsByTagName("TABLE");
         var colCount = null;
         var editorDocument = editorObject.get_document();

         for (var i=0; i < tables.length; i++)
         {
                var table = tables[i];

                table.style.width = "0px";

                //If there are colgroups - skip table
                var groups = table.getElementsByTagName("colgroup");
                if (groups.length > 0) continue;//!


                colCount  = table.rows[0].cells.length;
               // create colgroup
               var newColGroup = editorDocument.createElement("colgroup");

               // create cols
               var newCol;
               for(var j=0; j<colCount; j++)
               {
                  // create cols
                  newCol = editorDocument.createElement("col");
                  newColGroup.appendChild(newCol);

               }

               //table.appendChild(newColGroup)
               table.insertBefore(newColGroup, table.firstChild);
         }
         //newContent = newContent.toUpperCase();
         return newContent;
       }
    }

    MyFilter.registerClass('MyFilter', Telerik.Web.UI.Editor.Filter);
    </script>
