XtraReport.ExportToPdf(Stream) Method

Exports a report to the specified stream in PDF.

Namespace: DevExpress.XtraReports.UI

Assembly: DevExpress.XtraReports.v18.2.dll

Declaration

C#

public void ExportToPdf(
    Stream stream
)

VB.NET

Public Sub ExportToPdf(
    stream As Stream
)

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
stream	Stream	A Stream object to which the created PDF file should be sent.

Remarks

Once the document export has started, it will run until the resulting document is complete and cannot be interrupted or canceled in the process.

Use this method to export a report in PDF using its current PDF-specific export options. These options are represented by the PdfExportOptions object returned by the ExportOptions.Pdf property of a report’s XtraReport.ExportOptions. This object provides the PdfExportOptions.ImageQuality, PdfExportOptions.NeverEmbeddedFonts and other properties which are intended to specify parameters of the resulting PDF file.

If you want to ignore current export options of a report, and use your specific settings when a report is exported to PDF, you should use the overloaded XtraReport.ExportToPdf method with the options parameter.

Note
