Search for specific text in a PDF document  and you will notice that if the document is landscape, the SearchResult.GetWordBoundingRect method may return incorrect results. If the document is Portrait, the exact results are highlighted with the code snippet below: 

            PdfFormatProvider provider = new PdfFormatProvider();
            RadFixedDocument document = provider.Import(File.ReadAllBytes("Landscape.pdf"));

                TextSearch searchText = new TextSearch(document);
                TextSearchOptions searchOptions = new TextSearchOptions { UseRegularExpression=false, CaseSensitive=false, WholeWordsOnly = true };
                IEnumerable<SearchResult> matchResults = searchText.FindAll("sed", searchOptions);
                foreach (SearchResult resultItem in matchResults)
                {
                    Rect rect = resultItem.GetWordBoundingRect();

                   
                    RadFixedPage page = resultItem.GetResultPage();
                    FixedContentEditor editor = new FixedContentEditor(page);
                 
                    editor.GraphicProperties.FillColor = new RgbColor(125, 255, 0, 0);
                    editor.DrawRectangle(rect);
                }
            
            string outputFilePath = "result.pdf";
            File.Delete(outputFilePath);
            File.WriteAllBytes(outputFilePath, provider.Export(document));
            Process.Start(new ProcessStartInfo() { FileName = outputFilePath, UseShellExecute = true });

Landscape: wrong rectangles are highlighted

Portrait: correct rectangles are highlighted:

NullReferenceException is thrown when Find API is used on a newly created document.

Workaround: Export - Import the document before using the Find API

PdfFormatProvider pdfFormatProvider = new PdfFormatProvider();
byte[] exportedDocument = pdfFormatProvider.Export(document);
document = pdfFormatProvider.Import(exportedDocument);

When an import of the attached PDF file is executed, the result is a file with vertically rotated images, as well as enlarged and distorted. This is part of the code executed in the final application. Do you have any idea why this is happening? Is there any suggested solution?

As a result of the imported file, other processes are executed, such as creating bookmarks and page numbering, but the result is incorrect when presenting the rotated images.

Please find attached a code snippet and the input and generated output file.

Thank you.

 

        private static void TestPDF()
        {
            RadFixedDocument document;
            Telerik.Windows.Documents.Fixed.FormatProviders.Pdf.PdfFormatProvider providerPdf = new();


            using (Stream stream = System.IO.File.OpenRead("C:\\TMP\\Ejemplo1-Input.pdf"))
            {
                document = providerPdf.Import(stream);
                byte[] output = providerPdf.Export(document);

                System.IO.File.WriteAllBytes("C:\\TMP\\Ejemplo1-Output.pdf", output);
            }

SkiaImageFormatProvider: Rectangle behind text overlaps the text of previous line.

RESOLVED: The issue is dismissed. The actual reason for the results is missing FontsProvider implementation. In order for accurate calculations and measurements the fonts used in the document need to be resolved correctly.

Improve performance of Block.Measure for large chunks of text.

Release 2025.2.520 (2025 Q2)
Currently, the SkiaImageFormatProvider considers the RadFixedPage.Size when creating the image. If the RadFixedPage.CropBox is specified, the developer can control what rectangle of the page to be displayed/printed. However, it is not considered when exporting to an image. Improving the SkiaImageFormatProvider to respect the CropBox as well will give the opportunity to crop just a certain region of the PDF page and save it as an image.

Hi.

I'm currently working with the large PDFs. I'm able to process PDFs up to 2.1 GB easily without any error using Telerik Document Processing. However, if I take a larger PDF (e.g. 2.8 GB), PdfFormatProvider.Import throws an IOException with the next message: "The parameter is incorrect. : {path}".
I'm using FileStream to provide a sample for the Import method.

I've checked it with the different samples, all have the same behavior. So, I guess, it will work for any PDF larger than 2.1 GB.
