You can provide headers and footers that appear on the printed pages when saving to a PDF file. Using the Header property and Footer property of the PrintInfo class, which may include special control commands, you can specify text and variables, such as page numbers, as well as specify the font settings. The font related commands begin with "f".

These settings are only available when saving to a PDF file.

The control commands that can be inserted in headers and footers are listed in this table:

If you use multiple control characters, do not put spaces between them. The letters can be lower or upper case; all commands and examples are shown here in lower case for simplicity.

Define the headers and footers (set the Header and Footer properties) before saving to PDF.

The following list provides additional information about headers and footers:

• You can specify a color for the text from a list of colors if the color is previously defined in the Colors property.
• You can specify an image if the image is previously defined in the Images property.
• You can add text including the page number and the total number of pages printed.

• You can save the font settings to re-use them later in the header or footer.

Using a Shortcut

1. Create and set the Header and Footer properties for a PrintInfo object.
2. Set the Sheet shortcut object PrintInfo property to the PrintInfo object you just created.

Example

This example code prints the sheet with the specified header and footer text.

// Create PrintInfo object and set properties.
FarPoint.Web.Spread.PrintInfo printset = new FarPoint.Web.Spread.PrintInfo();
printset.Colors = new Drawing.Color[] {Drawing.Color.Green, Drawing.Color.Yellow, Drawing.Color.Gold, Drawing.Color.Indigo, Drawing.Color.Brown};
printset.Images = new System.Drawing.Image[] {System.Drawing.Image.FromFile("C:\\images\\point.jpg"), System.Drawing.Image.FromFile("C:\\images\\logo.gif"), System.Drawing.Image.FromFile("C:\\images\\icon.jpg")};
printset.Header = ""/fn\"Book Antiqua\" /fz\"14\" Print job for GrapeCity Inc./n ";
printset.Footer = "/g\"1\"/r/cl\"4\"This is page /p of /pc";
// Set the PrintInfo property for the first sheet.
fpSpread1.Sheets[0].PrintInfo = printset;
// Print the sheet.
fpSpread1.SavePdf("c:\\test.pdf");

' Create PrintInfo object and set properties.
Dim printset As New FarPoint.Web.Spread.PrintInfo()
printset.Colors = New Drawing.Color() {Drawing.Color.Green, Drawing.Color.Yellow, Drawing.Color.Gold, Drawing.Color.Indigo, Drawing.Color.Brown}
printset.Images = New System.Drawing.Image() {System.Drawing.Image.FromFile("D:\images\point.jpg"), System.Drawing.Image.FromFile("D:\images\logo.gif"), System.Drawing.Image.FromFile("C:\images\icon.jpg")}
printset.Header = "/fn""Book Antiqua"" /fz""14"" Print job for GrapeCity Inc./n "
printset.Footer = "/g""1""/r/cl""4""This is page /p of /pc"
' Set the PrintInfo property for the first sheet.
FpSpread1.Sheets(0).PrintInfo = printset
' Print the sheet.
FpSpread1.SavePdf("c:\test.pdf")

Using Code

1. Create and set the Header and Footer properties for a PrintInfo object.
2. Set the SheetView object PrintInfo property to the PrintInfo object you just created.

Example

This example code prints the sheet with the specified header and footer colors and images.

// Create PrintInfo object and set properties.
FarPoint.Web.Spread.PrintInfo pi = new FarPoint.Web.Spread.PrintInfo();
pi.Footer = "This is Page /p/nof /pc Pages";
pi.Header = "Print Job For /nFPT Inc.";
pi.Colors = new Drawing.Color[] {Drawing.Color.Red, Drawing.Color.Blue};
pi.Images = new System.Drawing.Image[] {System.Drawing.Image.FromFile("D:\Corporate.jpg"), System.Drawing.Image.FromFile("D:\Building.jpg")};
pi.RepeatColEnd = 25;
pi.RepeatColStart = 1;
pi.RepeatRowEnd = 25;
pi.RepeatRowStart = 1;
fpSpread1.Sheets[0].PrintInfo = pi;
fpSpread1.SavePdf("c:\\test.pdf");

' Create PrintInfo object and set properties.
Dim pi As New FarPoint.Web.Spread.PrintInfo
pi.Footer = "This is Page /p/nof /pc Pages"
pi.Header = "Print Job For /nFPT Inc."
pi.Colors = New Drawing.Color() {Drawing.Color.Red, Drawing.Color.Blue}
pi.Images = New System.Drawing.Image() {System.Drawing.Image.FromFile("D:\Corporate.jpg"), System.Drawing.Image.FromFile("D:\Building.jpg")}
pi.RepeatColEnd = 25
pi.RepeatColStart = 1
pi.RepeatRowEnd = 25
pi.RepeatRowStart = 1
FpSpread1.Sheets(0).PrintInfo = pi
FpSpread1.SavePdf("c:\test.pdf")

Using Code

1. Create and set the Header and Footer properties for a PrintInfo object.
2. Set the SheetView object PrintInfo property to the PrintInfo object you just created.

Example

This example code prints the sheet with the specified header and footer text.

// Create PrintInfo object and set properties.
FarPoint.Web.Spread.PrintInfo printset = new FarPoint.Web.Spread.PrintInfo();
printset.Header = "/lJobName";
printset.Footer = "/r/p of /pc";
// Create SheetView object and assign it to the first sheet.
FarPoint.Web.Spread.SheetView SheetToPrint = new FarPoint.Web.Spread.SheetView();
SheetToPrint.PrintInfo = printset;
// Set the PrintInfo property for the first sheet.
fpSpread1.Sheets[0] = SheetToPrint;
// Print the sheet.
fpSpread1.SavePdf("c:\\test.pdf");

' Create PrintInfo object and set properties.
Dim printset As New FarPoint.Web.Spread.PrintInfo()
printset.Header = "/lJobName"
printset.Footer = "/r/p of /pc"
' Create SheetView object and assign it to the first sheet.
Dim SheetToPrint As New FarPoint.Web.Spread.SheetView()
SheetToPrint.PrintInfo = printset
FpSpread1.Sheets(0) = SheetToPrint
' Set the PrintInfo property for the first sheet.
FpSpread1.Sheets(0).PrintInfo = printset
' Print the sheet.
FpSpread1.SavePdf("c:\test.pdf")
