在UWP应用程序中将XAML转换为PDF

Question

我在XAML页面上有一个Canvas元素，我在UWP应用程序中用作打印根。我正在使用PrintManager.PrintTaskRequested和PrintDocument.Paginate等事件来准备我的报告并将其发送到打印机。

我需要以编程方式将报告导出为PDF文件。理想的解决方案将以某种方式利用现有的打印根（Canvas），打印到它，然后将结果转换为PDF。之后，我可以将PDF保存到文件中或将其附加到电子邮件中。

我一直在寻找合适的解决方案，但在UWP中没有任何作用。例如，这篇文章提供了一个完美的解决方案，它似乎在UWP中不起作用：

How to programmatically print to PDF file without prompting for filename in C# using the Microsoft Print To PDF printer that comes with Windows 10

我将不胜感激。

Answer 1

我长期以来一直在努力解决这个问题 - 在UWP中自动编程XAML到PDF转换 - 最终找到了一个出色的解决方案。

有几个用于在UWP中以编程方式创建PDF的库。诀窍是XAML转换。我采取了以下方法：

A）遍历XAML树并生成要转换的控件列表。在我的例子中，文本块和边框，但这可以扩展。

B）声明与XAML的实际大小相匹配的PDF页面大小。

C）浏览列表，获取控制坐标。使用C1PDF中的相应函数在PDF中创建相同的元素。此代码还会检查任何RotateTransforms并将旋转角度应用于文本。

使用这个解决方案，我能够生成XAML UI的精确相似性 - 它本身代表一个打印文档 - 作为PDF，完全可扩展，并具有完美的打印渲染。

这里有一些代码可以帮助您使用我编写的ComponentOne PDF控件将我的XAML控件转换为PDF：

Async Function XAMLtoPDF(myXAMLcontrol As Control) As Task(Of Boolean)
    Dim pdf As C1PdfDocument
    pdf = New C1PdfDocument(PaperKind.Letter)
    Dim lTB As New List(Of Object)

    pdf.PageSize = New Size(myXAMLcontrol.ActualWidth, myXAMLcontrol.ActualHeight)

    FindTextBlocks(myXAMLcontrol, lTB)
    For x = 0 To lTB.Count - 1
        If TypeOf lTB(x) Is TextBlock Then
            Dim TB As TextBlock = lTB(x)
            Dim obj As FrameworkElement = TB
            Dim angle As Double = 0
            Do While obj IsNot Nothing
                Dim renderxform As Transform = obj.RenderTransform
                If TypeOf renderxform Is TransformGroup Then
                    Dim tg As TransformGroup = CType(renderxform, TransformGroup)
                    For Each t As Transform In tg.Children
                        If TypeOf t Is RotateTransform Then
                            angle -= CType(t, RotateTransform).Angle
                        End If
                    Next
                ElseIf TypeOf renderxform Is RotateTransform Then
                    angle -= CType(renderxform, RotateTransform).Angle
                End If
