Hi, I have an MVC3 project and the current versions of EO.PDF.dll (5.0.34.2), EO.Pdf.Mvc.dll (5.0.34.2) and EO.PDF.Mvc3.dll (5.0.34.2) added as references.
I'm using the [RenderAsPDF] attribute on one of the methods in my controller but the PDF is created in 'portrait' orientation (i.e. the width is less than the height) and I don't know how to manipulate this. I tried doing this:
protected override void OnResultExecuted(ResultExecutedContext filterContext)
{
base.OnResultExecuted(filterContext);
HtmlToPdfResult result = MVCToPDF.Result;
if (result != null)
{
result.PdfDocument.Pages[0].Size.Height = PdfPageSizes.A4.Width;
result.PdfDocument.Pages[0].Size.Width = PdfPageSizes.A4.Height;
result.PdfDocument.Save(string.Format("c:\\mydownloads\\{0}", MVCToPDF.ResultFileName));
}
}
but the page size properties are unaffected by my attempt to change them.
Is there a way to do this?
Thanks!

Hi, Please try to do this and see if it works:
Code: C#
HtmlToPdf.Options.PageSize =
new SizeF(PdfPageSizes.A4.Height, PdfPageSize.A4.Width);
Inside your action method (where you apply RenderAsPDF attribute). Thanks!

OK :) In the same context as above, can I create text in the 'header' and 'footer' spaces of a PDF created in this way? e.g. Page 1 of 3, Customer Order Report, things like that? I don't need images or any formatting. Thanks!

Hi, You would just call ConvertHtml again inside your action class's OnResultExecuted. That's when you can do "post process" with your files. You would do something like this:
Code: C#
//Set the output area
HtmlToPdf.Options.OutputArea = .....
//Render some HTML to the first page
HtmlToPdf.ConvertHtml("header", MVCToPDF.Result.PdfDocument.Pages[0]);
This would allow you to add anything anywhere on an existing page. Thanks!
