The following code loads the sample document, specifies export options using the PdfExportOptions settings and exports it to PDF. It invokes the default PDF viewer to display the resulting document.
The RichEditControl instance is passed to the BarItem.ItemClick event handler using the BarItem.Tag property.
static void buttonCustomAction_ItemClick_PDF(object sender, ItemClickEventArgs e) {
RichEditControl richEdit = e.Item.Tag as RichEditControl;
richEdit.LoadDocument("Documents\\Grimm.docx");
//Set the required export options:
DevExpress.XtraPrinting.PdfExportOptions options = new DevExpress.XtraPrinting.PdfExportOptions();
options.DocumentOptions.Author = "Mark Jones";
options.Compressed = false;
options.ImageQuality = DevExpress.XtraPrinting.PdfJpegImageQuality.High;
//Export the document to the file:
richEdit.ExportToPdf("resultingDocument.pdf", options);
//Export the document to the file stream:
using (FileStream pdfFileStream = new FileStream("resultingDocumentFromStream.pdf", FileMode.Create)) {
richEdit.ExportToPdf(pdfFileStream, options);
}
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("resultingDocument.pdf");
}
