ABCPDF not showing full table data

Question

Please refer to the image below:

It's cutting off some of the table data because of the width. My table width is more than 1000 px. I know The default document size for ABCpdf is 612 by 792.

Using the code below to set document width and height

            double w = doc.MediaBox.Width;
            double h = doc.MediaBox.Height;
            double l = doc.MediaBox.Left;
            double b = doc.MediaBox.Bottom;
            doc.Transform.Rotate(90, l, b);
            doc.Transform.Translate(w, 0);
            doc.Rect.Width = h;
            doc.Rect.Height = w;

I want to display all tabular data. Do I need to modify my table size? Or do I need to modify the document page size of the pdf?

How could i resolve this issue?

Thanks,

Siva

After reviewing the HTML, I think that I can give you a few tips on how to resolve your issue:

1- Use the Gecko Engine for PDF Rendering:

doc.HtmlOptions.Engine = WebSupergoo.ABCpdf9.EngineType.Gecko;

The Gecko Engine provides better Css compliance when rendering in ABCPdf.

2- In your Css you have overflow-x set to scroll for the inner-container. This causing the behavior that you are seeing. I would add the following Css to the bottom of the Css:

@media print
{
    .outer-container {
        background-color: #ccc;
        position: absolute;
        top:0;
        left: 0;
        right: 300px;
        bottom:40px;
        overflow: visible;
        width: 100%;
    }
    .inner-container {
        width: 100%;
        height: 100%;
        position: relative;
        overflow-x: visible;

    }

    table
    {
        width: 100%;
    }
}

Notice the @media print which makes the css only effective during print and would not affect that way it shows on the screen.

3- Finally, you can try playing with the browser width:

doc.HtmlOptions.BrowserWidth = 1200;

The only problem with the BrowserWidth property is that it will affect the zoom on the document. All the text fonts will appear smaller.

Good luck...

You haven't specified if you are converting an HTML page to PDF- but I assume you are. If that is the case, have you looked at the browser width property? Look into the XHTMLOptions object properties- it will help you fine tune the rendering:
