"word-wrap:break-word" does'n work at ExportToPDF

[Jeongmo Koo]

Hi
My problem with ExportToPDF is that columns is being overlapped when not wide enough to display text.
So I'm trying to use "word-wrap:break-word". It works fine at grid control and IE displays all of text.
But It doesn't work if it is exported to a PDF. It doesn't break word at all in pdf output.
In PDF output, is there any way to display all text by extending height of row?
I don't want text to be truncated.

Thanks

Jeongmo:

There are some possible solutions for your issue in the Formatting the Grid export to PDF forum thread.

As noted, in this thread, the default export of PDF is "Portrait" orientation, but you can force it to use "Landscape" orientation which would help to avoid column overlapping.

Something like:

RadGrid1.ExportSettings.Pdf.PageHeight = Unit.Parse( "162mm" );
RadGrid1.ExportSettings.Pdf.PageWidth = Unit.Parse( "600mm" );

This would basically force the PDF file export to use the landscape orientation.

Hope this helps!

Thanks for the anwser.
I'm already trying to change paper size, orientation and font size to avoid this issue.
These are helpful but it's not enough.
Is it impossible to break long word without space?

We are also facing the issue. Any solution/workaround?
Thanks

Hello Govindaraj,

The workaround would be to use empty spaces. Alternatively you could use one or more of the following general suggestions:
- switch the orientation to landscape
- resize the columns according to the expected content length
- reduce the font size
- use narrower fonts
- decrease the page margins
- increase the page size
