RichEditControlCompatibility.EnableLegacyPdfExport Property

Allows you to use obsolete PDF export implemented in earlier versions. Not supported in .NET 8+.

Namespace: DevExpress.XtraRichEdit

Assembly: DevExpress.RichEdit.v24.2.Core.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.RichEdit.Core

Declaration

C#

[DefaultValue(false)]
public static bool EnableLegacyPdfExport { get; set; }

VB.NET

<DefaultValue(False)>
Public Shared Property EnableLegacyPdfExport As Boolean

Property Value

Type	Default	Description
Boolean	false	true to use PDF export based on the Printing System functionality; otherwise, false.

Remarks

If any concerns arise that a newer Rich Text Editor version exports the document to PDF in a manner different from earlier versions, and the newer image is of inferior quality, set the EnableLegacyPdfExport property to true to fall back to the former PDF export technique.

C#

using DevExpress.XtraRichEdit;

RichEditControlCompatibility.EnableLegacyPdfExport = true;

VB.NET

Imports DevExpress.XtraRichEdit

RichEditControlCompatibility.EnableLegacyPdfExport = True

Word Processing Document API does not support PDF export based on the Printing System functionality in .NET 8+. The EnableLegacyPdfExport property does not change the current PDF export engine.
