Hi, 

I am trying to convert a HTML body to a PDF using HtmlFormatProvider and PdfFormatProvider. 

It works well when I try to create a pdf with "normal" characters, but when I use characters like "åäö" the characters is either missing or replaced with other character. 

I have found a similiar issue but that was due to the fact that the person was using .net core I am using .net framework. 

Am I missing something when I am converting it to a PDF or is there a limitation with special characters like "åäö". 

        private string CreateAndStorePdf(string htmlBody)
        {
            Telerik.Windows.Documents.Extensibility.JpegImageConverterBase jpegImageConverter = new Telerik.Documents.ImageUtils.JpegImageConverter();
            Telerik.Windows.Documents.Extensibility.FixedExtensibilityManager.JpegImageConverter = jpegImageConverter;

            var provider = new HtmlFormatProvider();
            var document = provider.Import(htmlBody);
            var exportProvider = new PdfFormatProvider();
            var fixedExportProvider = new Telerik.Windows.Documents.Flow.FormatProviders.Pdf.PdfFormatProvider();
            var fileName = "_original.pdf";

            try
            {
                using (var outputStream = new MemoryStream())
                {
                    exportProvider.Export(fixedExportProvider.ExportToFixedDocument(document), outputStream);
                    outputStream.Seek(0, SeekOrigin.Begin);
                    var pdfBytes = new BinaryReader(outputStream).ReadBytes((int)outputStream.Length);

                    return fileName;
                }
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                Log.Error(ex, "The pdf could not be created.");
                return null;
            }
        }

When using the RadFixedDocument.Pages.AddPage() method RadFixedPages are created without PageNumber set.

Such behavior is observed when exporting a RadFlowDocument to a RadFixedDocument using the ExportToFixedDocument as well.

When exporting merged documents when they are imported with ImportSettings set to ReadOnDemand an exception is thrown: KeyNotFoundException: 'The given key was not present in the dictionary.'

When a document containing a SignatureField is exported with the IsEncrypted property set to true, a not set UserPassword is required to open it, which makes it impossible to be opened. An InvalidOperationException is thrown with the message "Password is not correct." when importing with PdfProcessing; Adobe Acrobat also doesn't recognize the password.

Workaround: Exporting with AES256 encryption does not have this problem:

provider.ExportSettings = new PdfExportSettings
{
	IsEncrypted = true,
	EncryptionType = EncryptionType.AES256
};

This could be implemented by linking to RadFixedPages or Bookmarks.

Until this feature is developed this could be custom created with the help of Link annotations:

RadFixedPage toc = new RadFixedPage();
document1.Pages.Insert(0, toc);

FixedContentEditor editor = new FixedContentEditor(toc);

foreach (RadFixedPage page in document1.Pages)
{
	int pageNumber = document1.Pages.IndexOf(page);

	if (pageNumber > 0)
	{
		int factor = 20;

		int offsetX = 70;
		int offsetY = 20 + factor * pageNumber;
		editor.Position.Translate(offsetX, offsetY);

		Block block = new Block();
		block.GraphicProperties.FillColor = new RgbColor(255, 5, 99, 193);
		block.InsertText($"Page {pageNumber}");
		Size blockSize = block.Measure();
		editor.DrawBlock(block);

		Location location = new Location
		{
			Left = 0,
			Top = 0,
			Zoom = 0,
			Page = page
		};

		GoToAction goToAction = new GoToAction();
		goToAction.Destination = location;

		Link uriLink = toc.Annotations.AddLink(goToAction);
		uriLink.Rect = new Rect(offsetX, offsetY, blockSize.Width, blockSize.Height);
	}
}

According to the PDF Specification: A redaction annotation (PDF 1.7) identifies content that is intended to be removed from the document.

There are two possible options to workaround this functionality:

1. To iterate the document content and replace the matches which meet certain conditions with an empty string:

   foreach (RadFixedPage page in document.Pages)
   {
   	foreach (ContentElementBase elementBase in page.Content)
   	{
   		if (elementBase is TextFragment textFragment)
   		{
   			if (IsValidEmail(textFragment.Text))
   			{
   				textFragment.Text = string.Empty;
   			}
   		}
   	}
   }

   Note: the desired content could be split into several text fragments and if so a custom parser should be created.
   
2. To iterate the document content and check if the TextFragment position is within a specific RectangleGeometry: 
   

   foreach (RadFixedPage page in document.Pages)
   {
   	foreach (ContentElementBase elementBase in page.Content)
   	{
   		if (elementBase is TextFragment textFragment)
   		{
   			if (IsIntersecting(rectangleGeometry, textFragment))
   			{
   				textFragment.Text = string.Empty;
   			}
   		}
   	}
   }

   Note: it should be taken into account that the text fragment could flow out of the rectangle.

Hello Support,

I am generating pdf using PdfFormatProvider. In this i am passing html data which should be converted into pdf. For that I have written below code.

HtmlFormatProvider htmlFormatProvider = new HtmlFormatProvider();

RadFlowDocument htmlDocument = htmlFormatProvider.Import(htmlContentValue);

 var anotherpara = sectionBody.Blocks.AddParagraph();

editor.MoveToParagraphStart(anotherpara);

editor.InsertDocument(htmlDocument, options);

This works fine and also get pdf with expected value. But I would like to set spacing between two lines which I could not set or its not working. For that I have added below code.

I have also attached screenshot for it. like how its showing on pdf

editor.ParagraphFormatting.AutomaticSpacingAfter.LocalValue = false;
editor.ParagraphFormatting.AutomaticSpacingBefore.LocalValue = false;
editor.ParagraphFormatting.SpacingAfter.LocalValue = 0;
editor.ParagraphFormatting.SpacingBefore.LocalValue = 0;

So could you please let me know fix for it.

With the current implementation, the Trigger Events are skippet on import.

From the PDF Specification: An annotation, page object, or interactive form field may include an entry named AA that specifies an additional-actions dictionary that extends the set of events that can trigger the execution of an action.

Attempting to open a Pdf document containing an unsupported action type results in a NotSupportedActionException being thrown (see PdfProcessing: Add support for actions of type Launch).

Can the behavior be changed to ignore unsupported actions and allow the document to be opened?
