  Hi Andrew,

  this is not directly possible, but with a workaround: take a look at the sample “C1FlexGridPrintable2” (found in your user profile “%USERPROFILE%\Documents\ComponentOne Samples\WinForms\v4.0\C1Preview\CS\C1FlexGridPrintable2”: it is used to print a C1FlexGrid and uses C1PrintDocument for this task. The C1PrintDocument can be exported to a pdf file.

  Hope this helps

  Wolfgang

  @C1: this sample “C1FlexGridPrintable2” is not found in your only sample database…

  Hello,

  You can use C1PDF class to export a C1FlexGrid to pdf.
  
  I recommend checking out the PdfExport sample located here: Documents\ComponentOne Samples\WinForms\C1FlexGrid\CS\PdfExport
  
  

  You can also refer the product sample suggested by Wolfgang. It is located at :
  
  Documents\ComponentOne Samples\WinForms\C1Preview\CS\C1FlexGridPrintable2
  
  

  @Wolfgang, I could find the sample at the above mentioned location. Please let us know what do you want to refer by this?

  Thanks and Regards,

  @Prabat: thanks, I did not know about the PdfExporter sample - good to know it exists. C1FlexGridPrintable2 might be more flexible anyway. PdfExporter creates images for each page instead of a Pdf table, this is probably not to optimal result.

  Today, I found the C1FlexGridPrintable2 sample also in your only database at https://www.grapecity.com/samples/c1flexgridprintable2 - don’t know why I did not find it yesterday. Sorry!

  Is there a version of this sample that references C1.Win.FlexReport.4 instead of the deprecated C1 report controls?

  Hi Jong,

  only the “C1Report” component in the C1Report dll is deprecated, but not the “C1PrintDocument” class that is used in this sample. As C1 does not have a replacement for C1PrintDocument, you are save to continue using it.

  Best regards

  Wolfgang

  Hi Jong,

  As said by the Wolfgang, C1PrintDocument class is not deprecated so you can continue using this sample. If you face any issues then please let us know.

  @Wolfgang, thank you for your suggestions.
