Using the ASPXtoPDF control, is it possible to Scale (ex: 110%) or Scale to Fit?
If so, what property needs to be set?

Hi, There are several properties that would affect scaling factor: http://www.essentialobjects.com/doc/4/eo.pdf.htmltopdfoptions.autofitx.aspxhttp://www.essentialobjects.com/doc/4/eo.pdf.htmltopdfoptions.autofity.aspxhttp://www.essentialobjects.com/doc/4/eo.pdf.htmltopdfoptions.zoomlevel.aspxYou can take a look of the above links to see what each of these properties is for. If you want to precisely control zoom level, you can set both AutoFitX and AutoFitY to None and then set ZoomLevel. Note you would set all these properties through HtmlToPdf.Options object (for example, HtmlToPdf.Options.AutoFitX = ...). They are not on the ASPXToPDF control. Thanks!

Those properties are exactly what I need, but I see no way to use them with the ASPXToPDF control. Is there some way to assign htmltopdfoptions settings to the ASPXToPDF control? Could you please post a few lines of code as an example? I have not seen any in the downloads.

Hi, I am not sure what you meant by it sees no way to use them with ASPXToPDF control. You just use them, for example:
Code: C#
HtmlToPdf.Options.AutoFitX = HtmlToPdfAutoFitMode.None;
Make sure you call it before you call RenderAsPDF. Thanks

HtmlToPdf is one object and AspxToPdf is a different object. The code provided shows how to set autofit for the HtmlToPdf object, which does not have a RenderAsPDF method. AspxToPdf does have RenderAsPDF, but does not have autofit capability. Based on your response, it is only possible to set autofit for HtmlToPdf and NOT for AspxToPdf.
>> "I am not sure what you meant by it sees no way to use them with ASPXToPDF control."
I can put it in a non-technical analogy:
* my brother (AspxToPdf) and sister (HtmlToPdf) are related but not the same person
* I can tell my sister (HtmlToPdf) that I want my brother (AspxToPdf) to do something (autofit)
* I cannot tell my brother (AspxToPdf) that I want him to do it (autofit)
* Just telling my sister (HtmlToPdf) does not affect the results of my brother (AspxToPdf).
So, I was asking if/how HtmlToPdf can tell AspxToPdf to autofit.
If any developers have a solution, please post.

Hi,
You just use them. These two work together. ASPXToPDF sits ON TOP OF HtmlToPdf. So everything eventually goes through HtmlToPdf. Usually you do not have to talk to HtmlToPdf directly when you use ASPXToPDF. However when you need advanced features such as scaling, you go talk with HtmlToPdf directly.
I have no idea what you were referring when you say "I can not tell my sister". If you want to talk with your sister (HtmlToPdf), you go talk with your sister. If your sister is not around, you find her first. What does that has to do with your brother? HtmlToPdf is a standard .NET class defined in EO.Pdf.dll. You use it the same as you use any other .NET class. It's really very simple and straight forward and you seem to be unnecessarily thinking it as more complicated than it actually is.
Thanks!
