I have this example to fill a FDF programmatically and to visualize it.
private readonly string pdfFormFileName = "PDFForm.pdf";
protected void OpenPDF_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Response.Clear();
Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.fdf";
FdfWriter fdfWriter = new FdfWriter();
fdfWriter.File = GetAbsolutePath() + pdfFormFileName;
fdfWriter.SetFieldAsName("txtFirstName", FirstName.Text);
fdfWriter.SetFieldAsName("txtLastName", LastName.Text);
Response.AddHeader("Content-disposition", "inline; filename=FlatPDFForm.fdf");
fdfWriter.WriteTo(Response.OutputStream);
Response.End();
}
Instead of displaying the file, I need to save it to a file.
Could you pls help me?
I found the solution!
string newFile = Server.MapPath("~/") + "ModF23_Final.pdf";
string pdfTemplate = Server.MapPath("~/") + "ModF23.pdf";
PdfReader pdfReader = new PdfReader(pdfTemplate);
PdfStamper pdfStamper = new PdfStamper(pdfReader, new FileStream(newFile, FileMode.Create));
AcroFields pdfFormFields = pdfStamper.AcroFields;
pdfFormFields.SetField("2", FirstName.Text);
pdfFormFields.SetField("2-1", LastName.Text);
pdfStamper.FormFlattening = true;
pdfStamper.Close();
Andrea could you try using this line of code
Response.ClearHeaders();
Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.fdf";
Response.Clear();
Response.AppendHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment;Filename=FlatPDFForm.fdf");
Response.TransmitFile("FlatPDFForm.fdf");
Response.End();
Comment out this line fdfWriter.WriteTo(Response.OutputStream);
ADDED correct ContentType

I am working on Export to PDF funtionality using C# and PDFSharp. I am getting this error:
Value cannot be null.
Parameter name: elementId
The error is on this line :
PdfDocument document = PdfGenerator.GeneratePdf(htmlcontenttbl.ToString(), PdfSharp.PageSize.A4, 30);
Here's the whole method:
public bool ExportPdf(string htmlcontenttbl)
{
Response.ClearContent();
Response.ClearHeaders();
Response.Buffer = true;
Response.ContentType = "application/octet-stream";
Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment;filename=Myfile.pdf");
//Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "inline;filename=file.pdf");
//Response.AppendHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=Myfile.pdf");
Response.Charset = "";
StringWriter sw = new StringWriter();
HtmlTextWriter htw = new HtmlTextWriter(sw);
PdfDocument document = PdfGenerator.GeneratePdf(htmlcontenttbl.ToString(), PdfSharp.PageSize.A4, 30);
var config = new PdfGenerateConfig();
config.PageOrientation = PageOrientation.Landscape;
config.PageSize = PageSize.A4;
config.MarginBottom = 30;
config.MarginTop = 30;
//PdfDocument document = PdfGenerator.GeneratePdf(htmlcontenttbl, config);
byte[] bytes = null;
using (MemoryStream stream = new MemoryStream())
{
document.Save(stream, true);
bytes = stream.ToArray();
}
//var path1 = Server.MapPath("~/Images/" + DateTime.Now.TimeOfDay.Ticks + "result.pdf");
//System.IO.File.WriteAllBytes(path1, bytes);
//Response.TransmitFile(path1, 0, bytes.Length);
//Response.OutputStream.Write(bytes, 0, bytes.Length);
Response.BinaryWrite(bytes);
Response.Flush();
Response.End();
return true;
}
That exception can occur if you have a blank anchor tag.
It is likely ultimately being generated from here.
You should remove the blank anchor tag.
iv'e created a method to generate a pdf file from a form, it got saved to the correct path using itexsharp, but the problem is i can't download it.
this is my code :
private void FillForm(Dictionary<string, string> dic)
{
var pdfTemplate = HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("~/ress/GENE_15_04_2014.pdf"); //_pdfTemplet;
var newFile = _newFileName + "_" + Guid.NewGuid() + ".pdf";
_gNewFile = newFile.ToString();
var pdfReader = new PdfReader(System.IO.File.ReadAllBytes(pdfTemplate));
var pfileStream = new FileStream(string.Format(HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("~/ress/") + "{0}", newFile), FileMode.Create);
var pdfStamper = new PdfStamper(pdfReader, pfileStream);
var pdfFormFields = pdfStamper.AcroFields;
foreach (var entry in dic)
{
pdfFormFields.SetField(entry.Key, entry.Value);
}
pdfStamper.FormFlattening = true;
pdfStamper.JavaScript = "this.print(true);\r";
pdfStamper.Writer.CloseStream = false;
pdfReader.Close();
pdfStamper.Close();
UPContract.Update();
pfileStream.Close();
pdf.FilePath = string.Format("../Ress/{0}", Path.GetFileName(_gNewFile));
Response.Clear();
byte[] bytes = System.IO.File.ReadAllBytes(string.Format(HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("~/ress/") + "{0}", _gNewFile));
Response.ContentType = "application/pdf";
MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream(bytes);
Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "attachment;filename=" + "fiche abonnement_" + _gNewFile + ".pdf");
Response.Buffer = true;
ms.WriteTo(Response.OutputStream);
Response.Flush();
Response.End();
}
If you want to pass a file you can skip the byte array and MemoryStream and just use Response.WriteFile(string)
I use Web Forms. I try to convert ClosedXML excel workbook to pdf using Spire.XLS and download it by a client.
Here is my code:
protected void btnExport_OnClick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
var excel = Reporting.GenerateExcel(); //custom, return XLWorkbook object
string myName = Server.UrlEncode(121 + "_" + DateTime.Now.ToShortDateString() + ".xlsx");
MemoryStream stream = GetStream(excel);
MemoryStream stream1 = new MemoryStream();
Workbook book = new Workbook();
book.LoadFromStream(stream);
book.SaveToStream(stream1, FileFormat.PDF);
Response.Clear();
Response.Buffer = true;
Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "attachment; filename=" + myName);
Response.ContentType = "application/pdf";
Response.BinaryWrite(stream1.ToArray());
Response.End();
}
public MemoryStream GetStream(XLWorkbook excelWorkbook)
{
MemoryStream fs = new MemoryStream();
excelWorkbook.SaveAs(fs);
fs.Position = 0;
return fs;
}
It seems like I receive not correct pdf. Thanks
I am using following function to export my data to excel sheet:
string filename = "Test.xls";
System.IO.StringWriter tw = new System.IO.StringWriter();
System.Web.UI.HtmlTextWriter hw = new System.Web.UI.HtmlTextWriter(tw);
//Get the H`enter code here`TML for the control.
yourGrid.RenderControl(hw);
//Write the HTML back to the browser.
Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.ms-excel";
Response.AppendHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=" + filename + "");
Response.Write(tw.ToString());
but excel sheet is not created. Although it shows in chrome browser bottom that excel is downloading. When it finishs downloading, I click it and it says file cant be opened. Please suggest me what is wrong in it?
[EDIT]
Response.Clear();
Response.Buffer = true;
//use Response.AddHeader
Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "attachment;filename=Test.xlsx");
Response.Charset = "";
Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.ms-excel";
StringWriter sw = new StringWriter();
HtmlTextWriter hw = new HtmlTextWriter(sw);
gvLogs.RenderControl(hw);
gvLogs.AllowPaging = false;
gvLogs.DataBind(); // bind data
Response.Output.Write(sw.ToString());
//need to call Flush and End methods
Response.Flush();
Response.End();
give same error
Epplus is a good library for excel import/export. You can check it out.
You can try this one
private void ExportToExcel(DataTable dt)
{
if (dt.Rows.Count > 0)
{
string filename = "DownloadReport.xls";
System.IO.StringWriter tw = new System.IO.StringWriter();
System.Web.UI.HtmlTextWriter hw = new System.Web.UI.HtmlTextWriter(tw);
DataGrid dgGrid = new DataGrid();
dgGrid.DataSource = dt;
dgGrid.DataBind();
//Get the HTML for the control.
dgGrid.RenderControl(hw);
//Write the HTML back to the browser.
Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.ms-excel";
Response.AppendHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=" + filename + "");
this.EnableViewState = false;
Response.Write(tw.ToString());
Response.End();
}
}
Change the 'Response.ContentType' value in your code as like below.
Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.xls";
Hope this will help you.
check below code
Response.Clear();
Response.Buffer = true;
//use Response.AddHeader
Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "attachment;filename=Test.xls");
Response.Charset = "";
Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.xls";
StringWriter sw = new StringWriter();
HtmlTextWriter hw = new HtmlTextWriter(sw);
GridView1.RenderControl(hw);
GridView1.AllowPaging = false;
GridView1.DataBind(); // bind data
Response.Output.Write(sw.ToString());
//need to call Flush and End methods
Response.Flush();
Response.End();
I want to edit and existing pdf and to send the result to the broswer
Here is my methode:
public static byte[] Generate()
{
var templatePath = HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("~/my_template.pdf");
// Based on:
// http://www.johnnycode.com/blog/2010/03/05/using-a-template-to-programmatically-create-pdfs-with-c-and-itextsharp/
var reader = new PdfReader(templatePath);
var outStream = new MemoryStream();
var stamper = new PdfStamper(reader, outStream);
var form = stamper.AcroFields;
var fieldKeys = form.Fields.Keys;
foreach (string fieldKey in fieldKeys)
{
if (form.GetField(fieldKey) == "MyTemplatesOriginalTextFieldA")
form.SetField(fieldKey, "1234");
if (form.GetField(fieldKey) == "MyTemplatesOriginalTextFieldB")
form.SetField(fieldKey, "5678");
}
// "Flatten" the form so it wont be editable/usable anymore
stamper.FormFlattening = true;
stamper.Close();
reader.Close();
return outStream.ToArray();
}
and
The method call
byte[] buffer = Generate();
Response.ContentType = "application/pdf";
Response.AddHeader("content-length", buffer.Length.ToString());
Response.BinaryWrite(buffer);
Can someone help me in this case ?
Add this line
byte[] buffer = Generate();
Response.ContentType = "application/pdf";
Response.AddHeader("content-length", buffer.Length.ToString());
Response.AppendHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=youPDFName.pdf");
Response.BinaryWrite(buffer);
Response.End();
I have added Content-Disposition and response.end in code.
tested above code , work fine. let me know if it works you.
