Release R1 2023

We should implement the logic for getting character codes from Unicode when using CFFFontSource. Workaround: The font may be changed by creating a similar font with FontsRepository.TryCreateFont(...) method.

Telerik.Windows.Documents.Fixed.Model.Fonts.FontsRepository.RegisterFont(new Telerik.Documents.Core.Fonts.FontFamily("Arial"), Telerik.Documents.Core.Fonts.FontStyles.Normal, Telerik.Documents.Core.Fonts.FontWeights.Normal, fontData); // fontData is a byte[] keeping the font definition

FontBase font;
bool hasCreatedFont = FontsRepository.TryCreateFont(new FontFamily("Arial"), out font);
 
foreach (TextField field in document.AcroForm.FormFields.OfType<TextField>())
{
    if (hasCreatedFont)
    {
        foreach (var widget in field.Widgets)
        {
            widget.TextProperties.Font = font;
        }
 
        field.TextProperties.Font = font;
    }
}

For instance, we may implement WritePageAsync method in addition to the existing WritePage method. This is a similar scenario as in System.IO.StreamWriter class which has WriteLine and WriteLineAsync methods.

The exception is reproduced only with specific custom fonts and is thrown by the ComputeSubset() method of the GlyphTypeface class with the following message: "file does not conform to the expected file format specification". However, we can handle the exception and export the font data using the base class.

Fix available in LIB Version 2018.2.828.

Release R3 2018
The only applied graphics properties are the fill color, the stroke color and the rendering mode (which specifies whether the glyph is filled or/and stroked). Instead, Block and FixedContentEditor classes should apply all other graphics state properties (StrokeThickness, MiterLimit, StrokeDashOffset, StrokeDashArray, StrokeLineJoin, StrokeLineCap).

WORKAROUND: These properties may be applied after the text content is added. For instance, if you require changing the StrokeThickness of the text fragments which are stroked and not filled then you may use code similar to the one below:

foreach (RadFixedPage pages in document.Pages)
{
    foreach (TextFragment textContent in pages.Content.Where(c => c is TextFragment))
    {
        if (textContent.RenderingMode == RenderingMode.Stroke)
        {
            textContent.StrokeThickness = 0.3;
        }
    }
}

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.

The hierarchical document structure is a means to describe the PDF document structure, which is currently not supported. See 10.6.1 Structure Hierarchy on 856 page of the PDF specification for details.
This document structure is an alternative to the standard PDF structure and most non-Adobe software does not support it.

The document might have been created with Adobe software like Adobe LiveCycle Designer. Very often the document contains some fallback text in the standard PDF structure like:
"Please wait... If this message is not eventually replaced by the proper contents of the document, your PDF viewer may not be able to display this type of document."
"The document you are trying to load requires Adobe Reader 8 or higher. You may not have the Adobe Reader installed or your viewing environment may not be properly configured to use Adobe Reader. For information on how to install Adobe Reader and configure your viewing environment please see  http://www.adobe.com/go/pdf_forms_configure."
"For the best experience, open this PDF portfolio in Acrobat X, Reader X, or later."

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

This conversion may be achieved with FontForge by opening the font file and then choosing File -> Generate Fonts -> TrueType -> Generate.
