ASP.NET - ITextsharp landscape PDF using asp.net

Asked By asif hameed on 06-Apr-12 02:52 AM

Hi all,

I am trying to create Landscape PDF using iTextSharp but It is still showing portrait. I am using following code with rotate:

Document document = new Document(PageSize.A4, 0, 0, 150, 20);
FileStream msReport = new FileStream(Server.MapPath("~/PDFS/") + "Sample1.pdf", FileMode.Create);

try
{
// creation of the different writers
PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.GetInstance(document, msReport);

document.Open();

PdfPTable PdfTable = new PdfPTable(1);
PdfTable.SpacingBefore = 30f;

PdfPCell PdfPCell = null;

Font fontCategoryheader = new Font(Font.HELVETICA, 10f, Font.BOLD, Color.BLACK);

for (int i = 0; i < 20; i++)
{
PdfPCell = new PdfPCell(new Phrase(new Chunk("Sales Manager: ", fontCategoryheader)));
PdfPCell.BorderWidth = 0;
PdfPCell.HorizontalAlignment = Element.ALIGN_LEFT;

if (i % 2 == 0)
PdfPCell.BackgroundColor = Color.LIGHT_GRAY;

PdfPCell.PaddingBottom = 5f;
PdfPCell.PaddingLeft = 2f;
PdfPCell.PaddingTop = 4f;
PdfPCell.PaddingRight = 4f;
PdfTable.AddCell(PdfPCell);
}

document.Add(PdfTable);
document.NewPage();

}
catch (Exception ex)
{
Console.Error.WriteLine(ex.Message);
}

finally
{
// we close the document
document.Close();
}

Please suggest solution.

Thanks.

This is the simple example

Try this way:

Download the dll of itextSharp.dll

http://sourceforge.net/projects/itextsharp/

and try this code

using iTextSharp.text;

using iTextSharp.text.pdf;

using System.IO;

private void btnExport_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

Document doc = new Document(iTextSharp.text.PageSize.LETTER, 10, 10, 42, 35);

PdfWriter wri = PdfWriter.GetInstance(doc, new FileStream("d:\\Test.pdf", FileMode.Create));

doc.Open();//Open Document to write

Paragraph paragraph = new Paragraph("data Exported From DataGridview!");

doc.Add(paragraph);

doc.Add(t1);

doc.Close(); //Close document

//

MessageBox.Show("PDF Created!");

}

Call the Document object's SetPageSize() method:

document.Open(); 
document.Add(new Paragraph("Page 1: PORTRAIT")); 
document.SetPageSize(new Rectangle(842, 595)); // A4 
document.NewPage(); 
document.Add(new Paragraph("Page 2: LANDSCAPE"));
