Hi,

No. There is no way to get the size from PdfTextContent. You can only get the text if you use HTML to PDF:

http://www.essentialobjects.com/doc/4/eo.pdf.htmlelement.size.aspx

You would run HTML to PDF to get an HtmlToPdfResult object, from that object you can get the HtmlElement object. You can then get the element's size.

Thanks!

HI,

This solution has no wanted results.
What you think about this:
can i use System.Windows.Forms.TextRenderer.MeasureText() method for calculating text width, which already is rendered in the pdf document?

Thanks!

No. Using HtmlElement.Size property is the only way for you to get text size.

Thanks
