Hello, Joe,

I would like to follow up with additional information. After sharing the valuable information with us about the ZUGFeRD invoices, we have invested some time to research the option for embedding such data to the PDF format. It looks promising so far but further testing is required.  

I have logged it in our feedback portal by creating a public thread on your behalf. You can track its progress, subscribe for status changes, and add your comments on the following link - PdfProcessing: Add support for embedding of ZUGFeRD invoices

I have also updated your Telerik points.

Thank you once again for the cooperation.

Hi, Joe,

Thank you for sharing the importance of the XMP support and what impact it would have on the scenario you need to cover. I have already escalated the previously referred feature request to our Product manager. It will be included for discussion in the next planning iteration. 

I would recommend to continue any further discussion related to the XMP support in the respective public item so the whole information would be gathered at the appropriate place: PdfProcessing: Support for metadata streams (XMP metadata) 

Thank you for your understanding.

Hello,

We have a separate feature request for the encryption which is still with status Unplanned which means that it is currently not scheduled for implementation. You can track its progress, subscribe for status changes, and add your comments on the following link: 

PdfProcessing: Add support for encryption of documents using a digital certificate

Make sure that you cast your vote for the item in order to increase its priority. The more votes an item gathers, the higher its priority becomes.

As to the Joe's question about the XMP meta data, the metadata for embedded files wouldn't be supported when releasing the embedded file streams feature. It exists as a standalone request and if it is important for your scenario, you can follow the public item to get notified for any status changes: 

PdfProcessing: Support for metadata streams (XMP metadata)

However, I would like to note that we have tested to generate a pdf document with embedded files and it is compliant with PDF/A-3b standard (without the XMP metadata):

If you have any further questions regarding this, I would recommend you to submit a support ticket on this topic, once the feature is official released and we can discuss the case in the separate private thread.

I hope this information helps. If you need any further assistance please don't hesitate to contact me.

Hello Joe,

We understand the significance of this feature for you. It has gained importance over the course of the past seven years. However, regrettably, it is not included in the upcoming release as the roadmap has already been established. Consequently, I am unable to provide a definite timeframe for its implementation. Developing this feature would involve comprehensive research and timely implementation. Currently, our team is dedicated to addressing more pressing tasks, but we will certainly take your input and suggestion into consideration for future releases. In the meantime follow the item so you get notified when its status change.

Please excuse us for the inconvenience caused by the absence of this functionality at this time.

Hi Marcel,

The team is currently working on more demanded tasks and this one is still not scheduled for implementation. Due to the nature of the functionality, I am afraid that we cannot suggest a workaround for implementing it externally. Please, accept our apologies for the inconvenience this might be causing you.

Hi Mi Ha,

There is no a particular number of likes after which a task will be implemented. The priority of the task is determined by several factors and the items are implemented starting with the ones with the highest priority. 

At this point, there are more pressing tasks with higher priority and this one is not scheduled for implementation. Continue following this item so you can be notified when there are status changes on it.

Tanya
