Hello,

I am workin' on creating web from as pdf file.

My pdf file size is 595 x 820 points. Can anybody tell how can I count the
length of my string in points?

string x;
int y;
y = x.Length; // gives me length in symbols, but I need string length in
points. Can anybody help with this?

Thank you ;)

Hello HiperiX,

to get the length in pixel u need to know the font which will be used in
rendering your text.
I general the the Graphics.MeasureString method do it
