Export to pdf with Gill Sans MT

[Travis]

Hi All,

I have a radgrid, I set the  <MasterTableView Font-Names="Gill Sans MT"  >. I also set the style as

<style type="text/css">
    .rgMasterTable
    {
        font-family: Gill Sans MT !important;
    }
</style>

in web browser my Grid is showing the correct font (Gill Sans MT) and export to excel also showing correct font. But when I export it to pdf, it is not exporting in the Gill Sans MT font.  I also tried to set the

 <ExportSettings>
                    <Pdf DefaultFontFamily="Gill Sans MT" />
                </ExportSettings>

But still no luck. then I tried from code-behind as

 protected void btnpdfCard_Click(object sender, ImageClickEventArgs e)
    {
             
        foreach (GridDataItem item in rgExportGrid.Items)
        {
            item.Style["font-family"] = "Gill Sans MT";
            item.Style["font-size"] = "6px";
        }
rgExportGrid.MasterTableView.ExportToPdf();
}

but still no luck to export with Gill Sans MT font. Can anyone let me know where I am wrong?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Travis,

Please try the following code snippet to apply styles on export to PDF.

C#:

bool IsExport = false;
protected void PDFbtn_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    IsExport = true;
    RadGrid1.ExportSettings.OpenInNewWindow = true;
    RadGrid1.ExportSettings.IgnorePaging = true;
    RadGrid1.MasterTableView.ExportToPdf();
}

protected void RadGrid1_ItemCreated(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
{
    if (IsExport)
    {
        ApplyStylesToPDFExport(e.Item);
    }
}
private void ApplyStylesToPDFExport(GridItem item)
{
    if (item is GridHeaderItem)
    foreach (TableCell cell in item.Cells)
     {
        cell.Style["font-family"] = "Gill Sans MT";
     }
    if (item is GridDataItem)
    {
        item.Style["font-size"] = "6px";
        item.Style["font-family"] = "Gill Sans MT";
    }
}

Thanks,

Hi Princy,

Thanks for your replying, but this trick did not work for me. Still exporting pdf in times new roman instead of Gill Sans MT.

Any other tip please?

Hi Travis,

The above code works fine. Try to change the font-family and check, as I checked with other fonts it worked fine. The issue is not with code,I guess the Gill Sans MT is not supported in PDF. Please check the supported fonts for PDF and try the code again.

Thanks,
