How to convert the MS Datagridview to PDF

How to Export the MS DataGridView to PDF.

At present, we do not have a direct method to export MS DataGridView to PDF. However, by converting the DataGridView to EMF (Enhanced Metafile Format), we can export it to PDF along with the styles and format.

Essential® PDF has the support to convert the EMF to PDF, and the vector graphics will be preserved so that the user can perform text search and clipboard copy operations.

The sample in the link below explains how to convert the MS DataGridView to EMF and then convert the EMF to PDF.

Starting with v16.2.0.x, if you reference Syncfusion® assemblies from a trial setup or from the NuGet feed, include a license key in your projects. Refer to the link to learn about generating and registering the Syncfusion® license key in your application to use the components without a trial message.
