I have a RadGrid on an aspx page with a HTML table above it with some customer information. I am able to export the HTML table and prepend it to the export by using a memory stream. But, I cannot get it to work when exporting to PDF.

protected void RadGrid1_GridExporting(object source, GridExportingArgs e)

{

StringBuilder customHTML = new StringBuilder();

if (e.ExportType == ExportType.Excel)

{

customHTML.Append("<table style='font-size: 11px; font-family:Verdana;width:500px;' >");

customHTML.Append("<tr><td><strong>Volunteer:</strong></td><td style=text-align:left;>" + _volunteer + "</td></tr>");

customHTML.Append("</table>");

e.ExportOutput = e.ExportOutput.Replace("<body>", String.Format("<body>{0}", customHTML));

MemoryStream gridMemoryStream = new MemoryStream(new ASCIIEncoding().GetBytes(e.ExportOutput));

gridMemoryStream.Close();

}

if (e.ExportType == ExportType.Pdf)

{

// How do I add HTML to the PDF Export? The Excel Export doesn't work

}

Princy,

I GOT IT!!!

You have to be real careful about the font and make sure it's one that acrobat recognized. I simply replaced all the settings of

Arial Unicode MS with Courier and it works!
