How to use custom color in DrawString?

I want to use an RGB color instead of default color of C#, but I have no idea how.
e.Graphics.DrawString("Order Summary",
new Font("Roboto", 15, FontStyle.Bold),
Brushes.SteelBlue, new Point(350, 20));

Try this:
e.Graphics.DrawString("Order Summary", new Font("Roboto", 15, FontStyle.Bold), new SolidBrush(Color.FromArgb(100, 100, 100, 100)), new Point(350, 20));
You could also do something like this, if you don not want to specify the RGB values:
e.Graphics.DrawString("Order Summary", new Font("Roboto", 15, FontStyle.Bold), new SolidBrush(Color.Blue), new Point(350, 20));

How can I save a PrintDocument as PDF file?

I want to create a method about it. I am very beginner to c# I would feel appreciate If you help me out
thank you all

Printing a Multi-page Listview

Ok, I have got a printDocument1_PrintPage method which is supposed to print out the contents of a ListView. During execution, the method only prints out the first page. Could someone help me to printout the remaining page(s)?
I have identified the end of the first page via the variable ypos and set the property e.HasMorePages = true.
private void printDocument1_PrintPage(object sender, PrintPageEventArgs e){
Graphics graphics = e.Graphics;
int ypos = 78;
Font f1 = new Font("Arial", 14, FontStyle.Bold, GraphicsUnit.Pixel);
Brush brush = new SolidBrush(Color.LightSlateGray);
graphics.FillRectangle(brush, new Rectangle(10, 10, 770, 50));
Pen blackpen = new Pen(Color.Black);
Pen graypen = new Pen(Color.LightGray);
Pen redpen = new Pen(Color.Red);
graphics.DrawRectangle(blackpen, new Rectangle(10, 10, 770, 50));
Brush B = new SolidBrush(listView1.ForeColor);
graphics.DrawLine(blackpen, 10, 10, 10, 1132);
graphics.DrawString("FORENAME", f1, Brushes.Black, new Point(20, 25));
graphics.DrawLine(blackpen, 130, 10, 130, 1132);
graphics.DrawString("SURNAME", f1, Brushes.Black, new Point(140, 25));
graphics.DrawLine(blackpen, 290, 10, 290, 1132);
graphics.DrawString("EXT.", f1, Brushes.Black, new Point(300, 25));
graphics.DrawLine(blackpen, 380, 10, 380, 1132);
graphics.DrawString("JOB TITLE", f1, Brushes.Black, new Point(410, 25));
graphics.DrawLine(blackpen, 780, 10, 780, 1132);
int[] X = { 15, 140, 300, 390, 720 };

f1 = listView1.Font;
for (int I = 0; I < listView1.Items.Count; I++){
for (int J = 0; J < listView1.Items[I].SubItems.Count - 1; J++){
graphics.DrawString(listView1.Items[I].SubItems[J].Text, f1, B, X[J], Y);
}
Y += f1.Height;
graphics.DrawLine(graypen, 10, ypos, 780, ypos);

You need to reset the variable i before the printing.
It looks as if the PrintPage is called once for the preview and then, without i being reset, again for the actual printing..
This should help:
private void btnPrint_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
i = 0;
printDocument1.Print();
}
I would also strongly suggest to change the name i to something more explicit like currentPrintRow..

How to print the bitmap on two pages?

i am using the bitmap method to print the DataGridView.
How to split the bitmap on two pages if the this.dgvTheory.Height is bigger than 500?Everything should stay on the first page,except the bitmap which can go on second page if it's big.
Edited: The rest of the image should go on the 2nd page.
Thanks in advance.
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

dgvHistTheoCust.Height = dgvTheory.RowCount * dgvTheory.RowTemplate.Height;

dgvTheory.Height = height;

Printing on multiple page is controlled by two indicators:
the internal flag e.HasMorePages tells the system to re-enter the PrintPage method once more after you return from it.
some external flag you need to set up tells you which page and/or which content you are supposed to print next.
The internal flag is rather simple but you need to know that it wil be reset whenever you enter the method!
Your external flag can be anything you want, a bool or a number or it can even be implicit, like the state of a queue.
In your case a simple bool will be enough, but for more complex print jobs one may want e.g. an index into a list of items to print..
Let's call your flag printImageOnPageTwo. Declare it at class level:
bool printImageOnPageTwo = false;
Now you can check for it to know if you should enter the part that prints page one or skip it and print the image to the top of page two..:
private void printDocument1_PrintPage(object sender,
System.Drawing.Printing.PrintPageEventArgs e)
{
this.printDocument1.DefaultPageSettings.Landscape = true;
if (!printImageOnPageTwo )
using (Font fnt1 = new Font("Segoe UI", 12f, FontStyle.Regular))
using (Font fnt2 = new Font("Arial", 13f, FontStyle.Bold))
{
e.Graphics.DrawString("just a text", fnt2,.....);
...
...
if (dgvTheory.Height <= than 500)
e.Graphics.DrawImage(...., y_InTheMiddle)
else
{
printImageOnPageTwo = true: // set our flag
e.HasMorePages = true; // set the system flag
return; // quit the routine
}
} // end if !printImageOnPageTwo
else e.Graphics.DrawImage(...., y_AtTheTop);
printImageOnPageTwo = false; // reset our flag
}
