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.

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);

Release 2024.1.305 (2024 Q1)
For example exporting the text "\uD83D\uDE0A" with "Segoe UI Symbol" font family should export a single smiling face. Instead the characters are skipped during the export as PdfProcessing is trying to export them as separate char values ("\uD83D" and "\uDE0A") and the font does not contain glyphs corresponding to these char codes.

Release 2024.1.305 (2024 Q1)

Some fonts don't include bold and italic font styles. These fonts can be exported with the default typeface, and additional transformation could be applied to the letters itself - e.g. skew transform for the italic.

Note: Make sure that this will also work when exporting to PDF in WordsProcessing.
