I create text blocks using a richtextbox and save them to database. After that i am trying to create a PDF with the strings.
My problem is that i cant find a way to display that formated string in the PDF, it shows every < p > etc. instead of using them correctly. If it is not possible with PDFsharp are there other possibilitys?
// Create a new PDF document
PdfDocument document = new PdfDocument();
// Create an empty page
PdfPage oPage = document.AddPage();
// Get an XGraphics object for drawing
XGraphics gfx = XGraphics.FromPdfPage(oPage);
//Drawing Images and Rectangles and other things
//sText is just an example of what my DB string looks like
string sText = "<p>Here you can see formattet text<\p> \n
always multiple rows and some gü or /r"
gfx.DrawString(sText, NormalText, XBrushes.Black, new XRect(XUnit.FromCentimeter(3.2), XUnit.FromCentimeter(16.35), oPage.Width, oPage.Height), null);
// Send PDF to browser
MemoryStream stream = new MemoryStream();
document.Save(stream, false);
Response.Clear();
Response.ContentType = "application/pdf";
Response.AddHeader("content-length", stream.Length.ToString());
Response.BinaryWrite(stream.ToArray());
Response.Flush();
stream.Close();
Response.End();
So i found an answer. PDFSharp has XTextFormatter tf = new XTextFormatter(gfx);
which supports \n \t \r
so i have do replace my richtextbox witch a normal textbox.
