PDF Export will not open in Adobe Reader X

[lilo]

If I export a chart to pdf with the export feature, it will not open in Adobe Reader X.

"Error exists on this page" message appears.

Hello lilo,

Using last version of TeeChartFor.Net and next code:

Code: Select all

       public Form1()[attachment=0]Testpdf.zip[/attachment]
        {
            InitializeComponent();
            InitializeChart();

        }

        private void InitializeChart()
        {
            Steema.TeeChart.Styles.Line line1 = new Line(tChart1.Chart);
            line1.FillSampleValues();
        }

        private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            tChart1.Export.Image.PDF.Save(@"C:\tmp\Testpdf.pdf");
        }

The export is showed correctly in ADOBE READER X as you can check in my attached pdf. If you can not open this pdf correctly in your machine, please install again ADOBE READER X and try again to open my .pdf file and your .pdf file.

Your chart opens correctly. If I try to export my chart with custom axes, formatting, etc, the chart will not open.

My project might give you a better idea of what the problem is.

Hello lilo,

Thanks for your application, but we need the code. Could you arrange for me a simple code where you can reproduce your problem because we can try to reproduce exactly your problem here?

Thanks,

As a workaround, I am going to use print to pdf using a pdf driver. This works perfectly for me.

Is it possible to remove the export to pdf option in the Export Dialog?

I just downloaded latest version July 2012. With this version the pdf export works fine. However, one chart will not export shape fill types. Can you support filltypes in a future release? Also, the export does not support some custom embedded fonts?

Private Sub TChart1_AfterDraw(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal g As Steema.TeeChart.Drawing.Graphics3D) Handles TChart1.AfterDraw
'Hatch Fill
myGraphicsRect.Height = RECT_HGT2 '- 4 '(point2.X, point1.Y, point2.X, point2.Y)
myGraphicsRect.Width = RECT_WID2 '- 4
g.Rectangle(myGraphicsRect)
Dim br2 As New Drawing2D.HatchBrush(CType(PatBoxFillType2(i), Drawing2D.HatchStyle), PatBoxFillColor2(i), Drawing.Color.Transparent)
myGraphicsPath.AddRectangle(myGraphicsRect)
Dim FillReg As New Region(myGraphicsPath)
g.FillRegion(br2, FillReg)

'Custom Symbol Font
g.Font.Name = SymbolFont(i)
g.Font.Size = SymbolSize(i)
g.Font.Italic = SymbolItalic(i)
g.Font.Bold = SymbolBold(i)
g.Font.Underline = False 'SymbolUnderline(i)
g.Font.Color = SymbolColor(i)
' Get the font metrics.
