This would allow to encrypt documents only with Owner Password and not showing password dialog when disabling some PDF features permissions. The customer should be able to disable printing, text and graphic selection and extraction, page rotations and others. The full specification of all permission bits may be seen in Table 3.20 on page 124 in PdfReference 1.7. On page 120 in PdfReference 1.7 are described the User and Owner passwords.

Exporting document with a missing image is caused by handled Exception on import for DecodeParms containing null or stream object. Currently, PdfProcessing supports only decode parameters containing simple types. The case when some dictionary value is null or stream object should be implemented.

Another case is when the whole dictionary/stream is null. In this case, an ArgumentNullException is thrown.

PDF Editor: the pdfiewer will now have a feature to perform the following:

Sort pages by dragging and dropping selected pages.
After adding stamps/annotations on the page, user will be able to move around those objects by dragging and dropping.

Possibility to convert a PDF file to EPS file.

This new API will not read/delete the existing PDF pages content and this would allow performance and memory efficient realization of the following scenarios: 

 - Merge PDF document pages from different PDF files.

 - Split PDF document pages to separate PDF files.

 - Append/Prepend PDF content to existing PDF pages.

Moreover, as this approach will not require reading/deleting existing PDF page content, it will not depend on complex PDF features and will depend only on the PDF file structure. This will allow processing of PDF documents which use less common PDF features which are currently not supported by the existing PdfProcessing API.

When characters are in the ranges 61472-61566, 61565-61695, 65535-65535 they are correctly exported with Wingdings font. However, when the character value is outside these ranges the font fallback mechanism exports them with different font and this causes wrong glyph rendering in the resulted PDF.

The following code snippet shows how the Wingdings characters can be modified so that they are correctly exported to PDF when converting from WordsProcessing's RadFlowDocument:
RadFlowDocument document = new DocxFormatProvider().Import(File.ReadAllBytes(@"test_document.docx"));
foreach (Run run in document.EnumerateChildrenOfType<Run>())
{
    if (run.FontFamily.GetActualValue(document.Theme).Source.Contains("Wingdings"))
    {
        StringBuilder modifiedText = new StringBuilder();

        foreach (char character in run.Text)
        {
            modifiedText.Append(character > 256 ? character : (char)(character + 61440));
        }

        run.Text = modifiedText.ToString();
    }
}
Workaround: When creating a RadFixedDocument:
using (RadFixedDocumentEditor editor = new RadFixedDocumentEditor(this.fixedDocument))
{
	byte[] data = File.ReadAllBytes(@"CustomFont.ttf");
	FontsRepository.RegisterFont(new FontFamily("CustomFont"), FontStyles.Normal, FontWeights.Normal, data);
	FontBase customFont;
	FontsRepository.TryCreateFont(new FontFamily("CustomFont"), FontStyles.Normal, FontWeights.Normal, out customFont);
	editor.CharacterProperties.Font = customFont;
	string text = "w";

	StringBuilder modifiedText = new StringBuilder();
	foreach (char character in text)
	{
		modifiedText.Append(character > 256 ? character : (char)(character + 61440));
	}

	text = modifiedText.ToString();

	editor.InsertRun(text);
}

Currently, for .NET Framework scenarios, this could be achieved using RadPdfViewer's WPF control ThumbnailFactory class. Sample code may be seen at this forum post:
http://www.telerik.com/forums/pdf-thumbnail-returns-transparent-images#jO33X-E8Cki_qLh_KsToWg.
The feature should be implemented for .NET Standard as well.

The method should create deep copy of  the current page.

The NotImplementedException is thrown while getting the color from unsupported color space (for example ICC). This exception occurs during the import of shading patterns with gradient stops using this color space or during the import of tiling pattern with underlying color space.

Available in R2 2018 Official Release Version.

Implement API for adding document outline (a.k.a bookmarks).

As some other decoders, JBIG2 may also handle different parameters in order to correctly decode the stream. Currently, decode parameters are not supported for this decoder.

This may cause either big distance between some glyphs, or overlapping glyphs.

Currently this operator is interpreted correctly only for Pattern colorspace. It also partially supports the rest of the colorspaces from R1 2018.

Available in R2 2018 Official Release Version.

The "g" and "G" operators are used for setting color with a single component.

This feature is a must have for every business or enterprise!

OutOfMemoryException is thrown when generating PDF with many pages each of which contains images, as all of the document model data is in-memory.

The issue is fixed with the new PdfStreamWriter API. As an example, you may see the attached demo to the following feedback item:

Available in LIB version: 2017.1.320

Implement Find methods which enable the users to search for a concrete string/content/text in a Pdf document (RadFixedDocument).

Add support for ToUnicode CMap stream.

A side effect of not supporting it is the following: exporting PDF document which, for example, contains German umlauts, to plain text, leads to wrong characters in the resulting text.

As possible workaround, the PdfFormatProvider instance of RadPdfViewer can be used to import the document. For example:

FormatProviderSettings settings = new FormatProviderSettings(ReadingMode.OnDemand);
PdfFormatProvider pdfViewerFormatProvider = new PdfFormatProvider(stream, settings);
 
RadFixedDocument document = pdfViewerFormatProvider.Import();
 
TextFormatProvider textFormatProvider = new TextFormatProvider();
String text = textFormatProvider.Export(document);
