  Hi guys,
  
  I want to save the generated report to pdf.
  
  How do I subscribe to the event (LongOperation) that happens in C1PrintDocument.Export, because the window that is shown when exporting I would like to replace with my own.
  
  How to change the language in the code for the “Save as pdf” form.
  
  I have a German version of Windows, but I want to call this window programmatically in the English version.
  
  It is possible at all without changing the language in Windows?

  Hi,

  We didn’t see any Window while exporting Pdf by C1PrintPdfDocument. Please refer the attached sample for the same: PrintDocument.zip

  Could you please provide some more details for which window you are have asked to replace with new one?

  Regards,
  
  Nitin

  Hi,
  
  Okay, let’s start with a simple one.
  
  In your example, change the method call to doc1.Export(“TextAreaTest1.pdf”,true);
  
  During the export the window with Progressbar will be shown, is it possible to change the language of this window, so that the window will be displayed for example in German for a user with an English version of Windows installed?

  Hi,

  Passing true in the Export method will show a Progress Window and you can change the language before and after exporting accordingly.

          private void ExportData(C1PrintDocument doc1)
          {
              //Change to German
              Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = new CultureInfo("de-DE");
              Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = new CultureInfo("de-DE");
              doc1.Export("TextAreaTest1.pdf", true);
              //Change to English after export
              Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = new CultureInfo("en-US");
              Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = new CultureInfo("en-US");
          }

  Please refer the attached sample for the same: PrintDocument_Mod.zip

  Best Regards,

  Hi, thanks for your support!
  
  What other languages do you support besides German and English?
  
  It is possible to configure settings for a PDF file when exporting. Is it possible to set these settings programmatically (e.g. disable “Use compression”) using my export example, or manage all these settings and the display of this window from your example?

  private void ExportData(C1PrintDocument doc1)
        {
           //Change to German
           Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = new CultureInfo("de-DE");
           Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = new CultureInfo("de-DE");
           doc1.DocumentInfo.Author = "MyCompany";
           C1.C1Preview.Export.Exporter oNewExporter = doc1.ExportProviders[1].NewExporter();
           oNewExporter.Document = doc1.Document;
           oNewExporter.DocumentInfo = doc1.DocumentInfo;
           oNewExporter.ShowOptions = true;
           oNewExporter.Export("TextAreaTest2.pdf");
  
           //doc1.Export("TextAreaTest1.pdf", true);
           //Change to English after export
           Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = new CultureInfo("en-US");
           Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = new CultureInfo("en-US");
        }

  Hi,

  1. We are confirming with the development team about languages support in C1Preview.C1PrintDocument. Will inform you once they respond.[Internal Tracking Id - C1WIN-29142]

  2. These properties are of PDFExporter. You can cast to PdfExporter, in order to change these values. For, e.g., you can set UseCompression=false: (see code snippet)

          private void ExportData(C1PrintDocument doc1)
          {
              //Change to German
              Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = new CultureInfo("de-DE");
              Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = new CultureInfo("de-DE");
              doc1.DocumentInfo.Author = "MyCompany";
              C1.C1Preview.Export.Exporter oNewExporter = doc1.ExportProviders[1].NewExporter();
              oNewExporter.Document = doc1.Document;
              oNewExporter.DocumentInfo = doc1.DocumentInfo;
              oNewExporter.ShowOptions = true;
              (oNewExporter as PdfExporter).UseCompression = false;// Set UseCompression programatically
              oNewExporter.Export("TextAreaTest2.pdf");
  
              //Change to English after export
              Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = new CultureInfo("en-US");
              Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = new CultureInfo("en-US");
          }

  Please refer the attached sample for the same: PrintDocument_Mod2.zip
