Hello,

My grid is scrolling horizontally with dynamic autogenerated columns and when I use the export to pdf I get only the left part of the grid in the document.
Is there a way to say 'export and fit in page' ?

To challenge Telerik, I must say that I find the pdf export featured is not very well supported as it is a major featured reclamed by cutomers.

Here is my grid declaration

    
            <div style="width: 100%;">  
        
                <Telerik:RadGrid ID="RadGrid1" runat="server" AllowFilteringByColumn="True" AllowPaging="True" 
        
                    AllowSorting="True" ShowStatusBar="true" GridLines="None" ShowGroupPanel="True" > 
        
                    <PagerStyle Mode="NextPrevAndNumeric" /> 
        
                    <ClientSettings AllowColumnsReorder="True" AllowDragToGroup="True" ReorderColumnsOnClient="True">  
        
                        <Resizing AllowColumnResize="True" EnableRealTimeResize="True" ResizeGridOnColumnResize="True" /> 
        
                        <Scrolling AllowScroll="True" ScrollHeight='400px' UseStaticHeaders="True" SaveScrollPosition="True" /> 
        
                        <Selecting AllowRowSelect="True" /> 
        
                    </ClientSettings> 
        
                    <MasterTableView Width="100%" TableLayout='Fixed' AllowMultiColumnSorting="true">  
        
                        <ItemStyle Wrap='true'  /> 
        
                        <HeaderStyle Width='100px' /> 
        
                        <AlternatingItemStyle Wrap='true' /> 
        
                    </MasterTableView> 
        
                    <SortingSettings SortedBackColor="Azure" /> 
        
                </Telerik:RadGrid> 
        
            </div>

Some parameters are fix"ed or changed in codebehind.

Thanks for help.

Hello Christian,

You can try applying the PageSize while exporting to pdf such that the exported grid fits in the page:
c#:

    
            protected void ExportButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) 
        
                { 
        
                    RadGrid1.ExportSettings.ExportOnlyData = true; 
        
                    RadGrid1.ExportSettings.OpenInNewWindow = true; 
        
                    RadGrid1.ExportSettings.IgnorePaging = true; 
        
                    RadGrid1.ExportSettings.Pdf.PageHeight = Unit.Parse("300mm"); 
        
                    RadGrid1.ExportSettings.Pdf.PageWidth = Unit.Parse("600mm");   
        
                    RadGrid1.MasterTableView.ExportToPdf();    
        
                }

Thanks
Princy.

Thanks Princy,

But it is not my request, what would do my en user with such a pdf ???
They need letter, so this the reason some 'fit in 1 page' option would be appreciated.

Hello Christian,

Unfortunately the RadGrid's PDF export engine don't support auto-sizing the contents. The possible options in this case are:

- use a bigger page format
- lower the font size
- adjust the width of your columns

Hello Daniel,

Dommage, this seriously limit the usage of pdf export.

I will try your options.
But you could write this as a request: been able to do a fit in page pdf export from radgrid.
