How to Rotate a Table's Cells Into Runtime Generated PDF

Step C

1. Add a button to the default page named "Default.aspx" and change the text to "Generate PDF".
   
   
   
   
2. Double-click on the button to generate an Onclick event (to generate the PDF) on the Form.
   
   
3. Add the following 2 namespaces to the top of the ".cs" file:
   
   1. using iTextSharp.text;
   2. using iTextSharp.text.pdf;
   3. using System.IO;
4. Write the code to generate the PDF file on the click event of the button:
   
   1. protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
   2. {
   3. try
   4. {
   5. Document document = new Document();
   6. PdfWriter.GetInstance(document, new FileStream("E:/Rahul/test.pdf", FileMode.Create));
   7. document.Open();
   9. PdfPTable tbl = new PdfPTable(1);
   10. PdfPCell cell = new PdfPCell(new Phrase("This is 90 degrees rotated text"));
   11. cell.Rotation = 90;
   12. tbl.AddCell(cell);
   14. cell = new PdfPCell(new Phrase("This is 180 degrees rotated text"));
   15. cell.Rotation = 180;
   16. tbl.AddCell(cell);
   18. cell = new PdfPCell(new Phrase("This is 360 degrees rotated text"));
   19. cell.Rotation = 360;
   20. tbl.AddCell(cell);
   22. document.Add(tbl);
   24. document.Close();
   25. }
   26. catch (Exception ex)
   27. {
   29. }
   30. }
   Here the "cell.Rotation" property is used to rotate the table cell.
   
   Note 1: You can only rotate the cell in multiples of 90.
   
   
   
   Note 2:
   
   You can provide any name for the generated file and any text that you want to print in the PDF file. For example here I provided "test.pdf" and path also.

Step D

1. Run the page that will be like:
   
   
   
   
2. Click on the "Generate PDF" button.

Result:

1. Follow the specified path and open the folder, you will see the PDF file.
   
   
   
   
2. Open the PDF file and see both of the pages in the PDF file.
