I'm working on a project that has a service component that will be generating Excel xlsx documents for distribution. While there is a UI for administrative tasks, the service itself will run without an interface. I'm using the Documents.Core, and several other associated libraries to accomplish this. Two issues I've encountered, one is setting up the project with the appropriate libraries and keeping the version in sync with the Admin application, second is protecting those libraries once they are packaged for release. I had a support ticket open to determine how to accomplish the latter, but the first is still a manual issue.
So the feature request is to include the ability in the project templates and/or Convert to Telerik WPF Application to support a headless document solution. It would ideally include (only) the required libraries and maintain their linkage to the appropriate library version with the rest of the solution which occurs with a full Telerik WPF UI app. It would also include the necessary boilerplate code and references to properly protect the libraries. I was referred to another feedback request on improving the overall library protection build process, but while related, what I'm asking for here is not exactly the same.
We would like to have image formats like JPG, PNG and TIFF supported in addition to the PDF and Office document support in DPL.
Attached a project to demonstrate some issues we're seeing that need resolving in order to use the component.
1. When using a font like Tahoma on a form field, the value no longer displays or contains garbled text.
2. Input file is 24KB, output is 2MB!
3. Rotated field lose their rotation after being flattened.
4. Simulate merging with other files, 100 times the file is now 150MB! It's as though it's not re-using the fonts, but keeps adding the same ones.
5. when merging, but not flattening, the form fields are all lost on pages after page 1
Even without flattening the form the Barcode font gets lost.
Noticed that manually setting the font using the font name with spaces seems to work.
Other custom fonts on our form appear to work, however the Free 3 of 9 does not.
OpenDocument Format is an open format for many software supported like OpenOffice, I hope the Telerik Document Processing libraries could support for import/export format.
1. Line Height is not converted properly. for example, if we set the line height is 1.5 in angular UI editor, in PDF is not shown properly,
2. Table alignment is not proper - After resizing the in the angular editor, the same alignment is not converted in PDF. I think colgroup and cols custom tags are not considering while converting the PDF.
InvalidCastException 'Unable to cast object of type 'EffectContainerElement' to type 'EffectListElement' is thrown on import.
As a workaround, you can either use the old version of the assemblies (R2 2022) or you can set ImportSettings.SkipShapes of the DocxFormatProvider to true.
