Exporting document with a missing image is caused by handled Exception on import for DecodeParms containing null or stream object. Currently, PdfProcessing supports only decode parameters containing simple types. The case when some dictionary value is null or stream object should be implemented.

Another case is when the whole dictionary/stream is null. In this case, an ArgumentNullException is thrown.

Allow to export the documents to image.

Being able to generate a thumbnail for example.

Currently, this could be achieved by exporting the document to PDF and then by using RadPdfViewer's WPF control ThumbnailFactory class. Sample code may be seen at this forum post: http://www.telerik.com/forums/pdf-thumbnail-returns-transparent-images#jO33X-E8Cki_qLh_KsToWg

Currently, the Line breaks <br> are not exported to plain text format.

Workaround:

Provide a way to change the Name of a FormField from the RadDocument.AcroForm.FormFields collection.

As a workaround, you could create a new instance of a FormField with the desired name, add the new field in the document and remove the old one. You can use the following approach:
   1) Create a new instance of FormField (with the desired name, passed in the constructor), which will play the role of a copy of a specific FormField
   2) Copy all properties from the original field (they all vary, depending on the concrete type of the FormField, for example CheckBoxField, etc.)
   3) Create a new widget for the new field, and copy all properties from the original field's widget into the new one.
   4) Remove the original field from the RadDocument.AcroForm.FormFields collection and add the new field.
   5) Remove the original widget from the corresponding page's annotation and add the new one.

Attached is a project demonstrating this approach for a CheckBoxField.

Support for exporting WMF (Windows Metafile) and EMF (Enhanced Metafile) images should be implemented.

Workaround: Convert the WMF images to PNG before exporting:

The current implementation uses System.Windows.Media.Imaging.BitmapImage class in order to take the image pixels for the PDF export. However, BitmapImage class throws NotSupportedException when being initialized with a WMF or EMF image.

WORKAROUND: WMF and EMF images may be converted to PNG images before the PDF export. The following code snippet shows how to convert all inline WMF image to PNG images by using System.Drawing.Image class:

private static void ConvertInlineWmfImagesToPng(RadFlowDocument document)
{
    foreach (ImageInline image in document.EnumerateChildrenOfType<ImageInline>())
    {
        if (image.Image.ImageSource.Extension.Equals("wmf", StringComparison.InvariantCultureIgnoreCase))
        {
            using (MemoryStream wmfImageStream = new MemoryStream(image.Image.ImageSource.Data))
            {
                using (MemoryStream pngImageStream = new MemoryStream())
                {
                    var imageDrawing = System.Drawing.Image.FromStream(wmfImageStream);
                    imageDrawing.Save(pngImageStream, ImageFormat.Png);
                    byte[] pngBytes = pngImageStream.ToArray();
 
                    image.Image.ImageSource = new ImageSource(pngBytes, "png");
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

When a document is imported the FontsRepository caches the created font instances for performance reasons. API should be provided for clearing the cached instances in order to reduce memory consumption.

The AlternateContent element is used to store content which is not defined by the specification.

When merging, only the widgets are copied but not their fields. This can lead to ArgumentNullException when exporting the document. Implement copying the fields and consider cases which include collision of names of the fields.

Workaround:
Repair the generated document using the following code:
foreach (Widget widget in this.pdfDocument.Annotations.Where(annot => annot.Type == AnnotationType.Widget))
{
    if (!this.pdfDocument.AcroForm.FormFields.Contains(widget.Field.Name))
    {
        this.pdfDocument.AcroForm.FormFields.Add(widget.Field);
    }
}
In case of Name collision, you can use the attached project or the attached project to the following feedback item to rename the duplicate fields: Provide a way to rename FormFields.

I am using the trial version of telerik for xamarin for .net core which was released last year, to convert pdf to text. Our service is hosted in Azure. The text which I get back, in certain cases the spaces are missing (say for example instead of 'I [am] here', it displays 'I[am]here'. This happens randomly. 

The code which we have used is as follows -

byte[] pdfBinary = Convert.FromBase64String(inputString);

 TextFormatProviderSettings textFormatProviderSettings = new TextFormatProviderSettings("\r\n", " ");
         
 var textFormatProvider = new TextFormatProvider();
 var pdfFormatProvider = new PdfFormatProvider();

 RadFixedDocument document = pdfFormatProvider.Import(pdfBinary);
 result = textFormatProvider.Export(document, textFormatProviderSettings);

Add an option to save or load a custom created DocumentTheme.

Currently, this could be achieved this way:

I have created a very simple template (see attached file), import it, add my contents and later try to do a MailMerge.
However, the call to this function fails with the following exception:
System.ArgumentException

Currently, when registering *.otf font file with FontsRepository.RegisterFont method an exception is thrown during the font creation. 

WORKAROUND:  The font file may be converted to TTF format (*.ttf) which is successfully registered. This conversion may be achieved with FontForge by opening the font file and then choosing File -> Generate Fonts -> TrueType -> Generate. More information on FontForge program may be found here: https://fontforge.github.io/en-US/

Setting SetIsBold method to true on a CellSelection, resets the font size of those cells to 11 points.
See the generated file of the attached program.
Cells C1:F1 have font size 11 instead of expected 9.

 

PS: Is it really necessary to have a support plan to report bugs?
