GridDocumentExportCustomizeDocumentEventArgsBase.Margins Property

Specifies page margins for the exported document (in hundredths of an inch).

Namespace: DevExpress.Blazor

Assembly: DevExpress.Blazor.v25.1.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Blazor

Declaration

public DXMargins Margins { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
DXMargins	An object that stores page margins in hundredths of an inch.

Remarks

When exporting Grid or TreeList data to PDF, handle the CustomizeDocument event to configure style and page settings for the output document. Use the Margins event argument to change exported document margins.

Note

Page headers and footers are located within top and bottom margins. To ensure correct document rendering, set the top/bottom margin to a value greater than the header/footer content height (including top and bottom paddings).

Grid Example

The following example exports Grid data to PDF and customizes output document appearance:

Razor
