I've got similar code in another VB app and it works just fine.

Trying to create a PDF using PDFSharp (Dll version 1.37.2.608.0) in VB Net 2012. The code looks like - Code: Dim PDF_Document As PdfDocument = New PdfDocument Dim PDF_Page As PdfPage = PDF_Document.AddPage PDF_Page.Size = PdfSharp.PageSize.Letter PDF_Page.Orientation = PdfSharp.PageOrientation.Landscape Dim PDF_Graphics As XGraphics = XGraphics.FromPdfPage(PDF_Page) Dim PDF_Font As XFont etc.... The PDF creates fine but it always comes up in portrait orientation in Adobe Reader DC. What am I missing (probably something obvious)? |

Hi! I think setting "Landscape" sets rotation to 90. But then you set rotation to 0. Remove the line "PDF_Page.Rotate = 0". |

Nothing obviously wrong. The Page Sizes sample (C#) uses the same instructions: http://pdfsharp.net/wiki/PageSizes-sample.ashx |

Never mind - it was a 'short' between the keyboard and the seat!  After a good night's sleep and a fresh look, there was a code problem I finally found.

Because of the 'presentation', the page appeared to me to be in portrait, when it was in reality in landscape. So the setting was working fine. I initially assumed because the report ran off the page in PDFSharp that it was in portrait mode instead of landscape. It was hard to tell in Adobe Reader. Once I realized the report actually was in landscape, then I figured out what was the real problem. This particular report in VB uses x,y coordinates to print instead of one continuous line. It appears that the x,y coordinates in printing in VB translate about 25% larger when passed to PDFSharp. I just multiplied them by .75 before PDFSharp saw them, and that put everything back in perspective. |
