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

Workaround: Convert the WMF images to PNG before exporting:
ImageSource imageSource = new ImageSource(new MemoryStream(this.ConvertWmfImageToPng(stream)));
document.Pages.AddPage().Content.AddImage(imageSource);
...
private byte[] ConvertWmfImageToPng(Stream wmfImageStream)
{
    byte[] pngBytes;
 
    using (MemoryStream pngImageStream = new MemoryStream())
    {
        System.Drawing.Image imageDrawing = System.Drawing.Image.FromStream(wmfImageStream);
        imageDrawing.Save(pngImageStream, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Png);
        pngBytes = pngImageStream.ToArray();
    }
 
    return pngBytes;
}

By the PDF format specification, CIDToGIDMap is optional. The default value is Identity. However when exporting CID Font with missing CIDToGIDMap property the analyzing tool causes the following warning message:

"PDF/A requires that a Type 2 CIDFont has a stream mapping from CIDs to glyph indices or the name Identity as its value."

When merging files the documents might have the same fonts embedded. Then the PdfProcessing should use only one of the fonts and skip embedding the second font in the resulting document.

Release LIB 2019.2.624 (06/24/2019)

When there is long text that is out of the used cell range area, this text should be included in page splitting calculations.

Also, when a cell has text that overflows its width, the text is again clipped by the cell boundaries and is not visible in the exported PDF. In a similar case Excel exports the surrounding cells to ensure that the content is visible.

Workaround: Extend the used cell range to include all the cells which the text content spans.

Such fields are different representations of the same underlying field; they should differ only in properties that specify their visual appearance. When such a document is imported an ArgumentException: 'An item with the same key has already been added.' is thrown.

A free text annotation displays text directly on the page. Unlike an ordinary text annotation, a free text annotation has no open or closed state; instead of being displayed in a pop-up window, the text is always visible.

By specification, the document AcroForm contains fields with no parents. However, some documents may have child fields in the AcroForm. This leads to ArgumentException when importing the child and parent fields - 'An item with the same key has already been added.' since the child field is added twice.

RadPdfProcessing cannot find startxref keyword at the end of a document if the document contains many zero bytes at its end. NotSupportedException is thrown with "Startxref keyword cannot be found" message. 
Workaround: Trim the ending zero bytes before loading the document to PdfProcessing. Example showing this approach can be found in the following KB article:
http://www.telerik.com/support/kb/winforms/details/notsupportedexception-startxref-keyword-cannot-be-found-when-loading-pdf-file-in-radpdfviewer-for-winforms

This request is to ask that the development team review the code inside the Documents for refactoring to see if certain things can be reduced (like Generics).

 

When using the Telerik UI for Xamarin and referencing the UI.for.Xamarin NuGet package, the assembly reference for the Telerik.Documents.Fixed.dll is added to the project. This increases the amount of code that is compiled when the Linker is only set to SDK only, thus breaking AOT compilation with LLVM enabled.

 

A few addition insights:

 

- When the project cannot set the Linker to SDK and User Assemblies

- When individually referencing DLLs for only what the project uses is an insufficient solution

- When installing sub-packages like Telerik.UI.for.Xamarin.DataGrid is an insufficient solution.

 

 

Thank you.
