When applying MultipleSubstFormat1, an exception is thrown: "NullReferenceException: 'Object reference not set to an instance of an object.'"

The issue is not reproducible in Q1 2025 (2025.1.205).

In Q2 2025 we introduced the MarkedContent in a RadFixedDocument.

Currently the DocumentInfo property is for export purposes only and meta information about documents is stripped when importing.

According to the PDF specification (ISO 32000), the document info dictionary (often called "metadata" or "Info" dictionary) can include the following standard fields:

• Title: The document’s title.
• Author: The name of the person who created the document.
• Subject: The subject of the document.
• Keywords: Keywords associated with the document.
• Creator: The application that created the original document.
• Producer: The application that converted the document to PDF.
• CreationDate: The date and time the document was created.
• ModDate: The date and time the document was last modified.
• Trapped: Indicates whether the document has been trapped (a printing term).

These fields are stored in the PDF’s Info dictionary and are used by PDF viewers for display, search, and indexing.

 

It would be great if the SkiaImageExportSettings offer a DocumentUnhandledException event allowing the developer to handle specific errors when exporting to image formats.

This would be an essential improvement in the existing Exception handling mechanism and would enable exporting PDF documents to images even though some parts of the image may not be completely supported: https://docs.telerik.com/devtools/document-processing/libraries/radpdfprocessing/features/handling-document-exceptions 

Handle documents with mismatched font Subtype and FontFile type when exporting PDF to image with SkiaImageFormatProvider.

Part 3 of the standard, published on October 15, 2012, differs from PDF/A-2 in only one regard: it allows embedding of arbitrary file formats (such as XML, CSV, CAD, word-processing documents, spreadsheet documents, and others) into PDF/A conforming documents.

Purpose: Long-term archiving of electronic documents with full semantic structure.

• "A" for Archiving

• Level "1a" ensures:

  • Tagged PDF (with proper logical structure and reading order)

  • Unicode text for proper text extraction and searchability

  • Embedded fonts (for consistent rendering)

• Restrictions:

  • No audio/video

  • No encryption

  • No JavaScript

  • No external content (everything must be self-contained)

• Based on: PDF 1.4 (Acrobat 5)

Wrong clipping order when exporting a document with MarkedContent leads to a missing content.

This error happens when importing a document.

Error message:

System.InvalidCastException: 'Unable to cast object of type 'Telerik.Windows.Documents.Fixed.FormatProviders.Pdf.Model.Types.PdfArray' to type 'Telerik.Windows.Documents.Fixed.FormatProviders.Pdf.Model.Elements.Functions.FunctionObject'.'

ArgumentOutOfRangeException is thrown when creating a CapPathRound for an SVG element.

Exporting a specific PDF file generates large amounts of ExtGState entries, which results in large file sizes.

InvalidCastException is thrown when importing a document with an annotation declared in the Fields collection.

I have a simple program that imports a PDF, calls AcroForm.FlattenFormFields(), and calls Export() on the PdfFormatProvider. With the attached example PDF I am seeing the following exception.

System.NotImplementedException: 'The method or operation is not implemented.'

The PDF/A-1 standard uses the PDF Reference 1.4 and specifies two levels of compliance:

- PDF/A-1b - Its goal is to ensure reliable reproduction of the visual appearance of the document.

- PDF/A-1a - Its objective is to ensure that documents content can be searched and re-purposed. This compliance level has some additional requirements:

• Document structure must be included.
• Tagged PDF.
• Unicode character maps
• Language specification.

Since the PdfProcessing and its PdfFormatProvider is compliant with the PDF Reference 1.7. , the produced documents are created with this version as well: 

Wrong font loading when FontFile2 is CFF (Compact Font Format).

IndexOutOfRangeException is thrown due to wrongly processed image data.

Wrong glyph rendering due to incorrectly parsed Type1Font glyph data.
