How to export multiple SfDataGrids sequentially to one PDF document in Xamarin.Forms DataGrid (SfDataGrid) ?

The multiple Xamarin DataGrid are exported to a single PDF document one at a time using the DataGridPdfExportingController.ExportToPdfGrid method. Draw the exported PDF sequentially into a single PDF document using the PdfGrid.Draw in the Xamarin.Forms.

C#

Create a PDF document using the PdfDocument and export the SfDataGrid into a PdfGrid using the extension method ExportToPdfGrid with the DataGridPdfExportOption, which allows customization of the data exported to the PDF.

var pdfDoc = new PdfDocument();
PdfPage page = pdfDoc.Pages.Add();
DataGridPdfExportingController pdfExport = new DataGridPdfExportingController();
MemoryStream stream = new MemoryStream();
var exportToPdfGrid = pdfExport.ExportToPdfGrid(this.sfDataGrid1, this.sfDataGrid1.View, new DataGridPdfExportOption()
{
   FitAllColumnsInOnePage = true,
}, pdfDoc);
 

C#

Sequentially draw the exported PdfGrid in the PdfPage using the PdfGrid.Draw method and save the created PDF document.

PdfGridLayoutFormat layoutFormat = new PdfGridLayoutFormat();
layoutFormat.Layout = PdfLayoutType.Paginate;
PdfLayoutResult result = exportToPdfGrid.Draw(page, new PointF(10, 10), layoutFormat);
var exportToPdfGrid1 = pdfExport.ExportToPdfGrid(this.sfDataGrid2, this.sfDataGrid2.View, new DataGridPdfExportOption()
{
  FitAllColumnsInOnePage = true,
}, pdfDoc);
exportToPdfGrid1.Draw(result.Page, new PointF(10, result.Bounds.Height + 20));
pdfDoc.Save(stream);
pdfDoc.Close(true);
if (Device.RuntimePlatform == Device.UWP)
   Xamarin.Forms.DependencyService.Get<ISaveWindows>().Save("DataGrid.pdf", "application/pdf", stream);
else
   Xamarin.Forms.DependencyService.Get<ISave>().Save("DataGrid.pdf", "application/pdf", stream);
