I try to print out a WPF Window as a pdf file (Microsoft Print to pdf) with the DocumentPaginator in A4 landscape format (Size(96 * 11, 96 * 8.5)) but always get it in A4 portrait format. (For the DocumentPaginator I use the method as described here: WPF - pagination when printing a visual)
Where is the fault? Unless the format problem it works perfect. How can I resize the Size of the DocumentPage as it is written in the Documentation of the DocumentPage.Size Property: "Remarks...Use the protected SetSize method to set this property."?

C#:
public partial class MainWindow : Window
{
public MainWindow()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
private void InvokePrint(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
var dlg = new PrintDialog();
if ((bool)dlg.ShowDialog())
{
Size lv_size = new Size(dlg.PrintableAreaWidth, dlg.PrintableAreaHeight);
FixedPagePaginator fixedpagepagi = new FixedPagePaginator(scrollv1, lv_size);
fixedpagepagi.PageSize = new Size(dlg.PrintableAreaWidth, dlg.PrintableAreaHeight);
dlg.PrintDocument(fixedpagepagi, "Test");
}
}
}
class FixedPagePaginator : DocumentPaginator
{
private FrameworkElement Element;
private Size Size;
private FixedPagePaginator()
{
}
public FixedPagePaginator(FrameworkElement element, Size size)
{
Element = element;
Size = size;
}
public override DocumentPage GetPage(int pageNumber)
{
Size elementSize = new Size(
Element.ActualWidth,
Element.ActualHeight);
Element.Measure(elementSize);
Element.Arrange(new Rect(new Point(0, 0), elementSize));
Element.Measure(Size);
Element.Arrange(new Rect(Size));
var page = new DocumentPage(Element);
return page;
}
public override bool IsPageCountValid
{
get { return true; }
}
public int Columns
{
get
{
return 1;
}
}
public int Rows
{
get
{
return (int)Math.Ceiling(Element.ActualHeight / PageSize.Height);
}
}
public override int PageCount
{
get
{
return Columns * Rows;
}
}
public override System.Windows.Size PageSize
{
get
{
return Size;
}
set
{
if (Size.Equals(value) != true)
{
Size = value;
}
}
}
public override IDocumentPaginatorSource Source
{
get { return null; }
}
}
The working solution I got in the CSharp Forum is to initialize the DocumentPage with the PageSize like this for example:
private DocumentPage CreatePage(Grid grid)
{
var box = this.SizingPageGrid(grid);
return new DocumentPage(grid, this.PageSize, box, box);
}
private Rect SizingPageGrid(Grid grid)
{
var box = new Rect(new Point(0, 0), this.PageSize);
grid.InvalidateArrange();
grid.UpdateLayout();
grid.Measure(this.PageSize);
grid.Arrange(box);
return box;
}
