Try to create a gridview that display in left

Then Click Event of both button

protected void btnGeneratePDF_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

int columnCount = GridView1.Columns.Count;

int rowCount = GridView1.Rows.Count;

Document Doc = new Document();

PdfPTable grdTable = new PdfPTable(columnCount);

grdTable.AddCell("FirstName");

grdTable.AddCell("LastName");

for (int rowCounter = 0; rowCounter < rowCount; rowCounter++)

{

for (int columnCounter = 0; columnCounter < columnCount; columnCounter++)

{

string strValue = GridView1.Rows[rowCounter].Cells[columnCounter].Text;

grdTable.AddCell(strValue);

}

}

PdfWriter.GetInstance(Doc, new FileStream(Request.PhysicalApplicationPath + "/pdf/Name.pdf", FileMode.Create));

Doc.Open();

Doc.Add(new Paragraph("Student Information"));

Doc.Add(new Paragraph("\n"));

Doc.Add(grdTable);

Doc.Close();

grdTable.SpacingBefore = 15f;

}

protected void PDF_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

PdfPTable table = new PdfPTable(gvdetails.Columns.Count);

int[] widths = new int[gvdetails.Columns.Count];

for (int x = 0; x < gvdetails.Columns.Count; x++)

{

// widths[x] = (int)gvdetails.Columns[x].ItemStyle.Width.Value;

string cellText = Server.HtmlEncode(gvdetails.Columns[x].HeaderText);

PdfPCell cell = new PdfPCell(new Phrase(cellText));

cell.BackgroundColor = new BaseColor(System.Drawing.ColorTranslator.FromHtml("#EFF3FB"));

table.AddCell(cell);

}

// table.SetWidths(widths);

for (int i = 0; i < gvdetails.Rows.Count; i++)

{

if (gvdetails.Rows[i].RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)

{

for (int j = 0; j < gvdetails.Columns.Count; j++)

{

string cellText = gvdetails.Rows[i].Cells[j].Text;

PdfPCell cell = new PdfPCell(new Phrase(cellText));

if (i % 2 != 0)

{

cell.BackgroundColor = new BaseColor(System.Drawing.ColorTranslator.FromHtml("#D1DDF1"));

}

table.AddCell(cell);

}

}

}

Document pdfDoc = new Document(PageSize.A4, 10f, 10f, 10f, 0f);

PdfWriter.GetInstance(pdfDoc, new FileStream(Request.PhysicalApplicationPath + "/pdf/data.pdf", FileMode.Create));

pdfDoc.Open();

pdfDoc.Add(new Paragraph("Student Information"));

pdfDoc.Add(new Paragraph("\n\n"));

pdfDoc.Add(table);

pdfDoc.Close();

table.SpacingBefore = 15f;

Response.End();

}

Both button have the same functionality but the different in second button is that I created the colorful gridview in PDF
