Custom document properties in exported pdf

[Gandalf]

hi, is it possible to add custom document properties while exporting to pdf?

[HighAley]

Hello.

To set PDF file properties you could use next report properties:

Code: Select all

Title - Report Name
Author - Report Author
Subject - Report Alias

Also you could set next properties for all exported PDF files

Code: Select all

Stimulsoft.Report.StiOptions.Export.Pdf.CreatorString
Stimulsoft.Report.StiOptions.Export.Pdf.KeywordsString

or use StiPdfExportSettings to set these properties for each report:

Code: Select all

Stimulsoft.Report.Export.StiPdfExportSettings.CreatorString
Stimulsoft.Report.Export.StiPdfExportSettings.KeywordsString

Thank you.

Hi,

I believe this functionality has been added in Reports.Ultimate 2015.1: http://www.stimulsoft.com/en/changes/reports-ultimate
"Export to PDF. Now you can add custom properties."

Can you please supply some sample code to show how to add custom properties when you export to pdf? I can't find any documentation for this new feature and after downloading 2015.1.18 (pre-release) I couldn't figure it out either.

Many thanks.

Hello.

You should use MetaTags of the report. The name of the tag should start from "pdf:".
Next code shows how to add Meta Tags:

Code: Select all

            report.MetaTags.Add(new StiMetaTag("pdf:Name1", "Value1"));
            report.MetaTags.Add(new StiMetaTag("pdf:Name2", "Test"));

Thank you.

Great, this seems to work
I'm sure it would be useful to others if you guys added this to your documentation somewhere.

Thanks very much!

Sure, we will definitely add this to our documentation.

Thank you.
