You need to explicitly set the correct MIME type when embedding the file into the PDF. This is especially important for standards like PDF/A-3 and Factur-X, which require strict metadata and MIME type declarations for embedded files.
The default value /application/octet-stream is too generic and not compliant for XML attachments.
Some PDF files have an additional content added before the file header (before %PDF-1.4 for example). This additional content makes all byte offsets in the document invalid, which causes the format provider to throw an exception. At this point, to import a similar document it should be pre-processed so the content before the version header is removed before importing it.
Error message:
System.InvalidCastException: 'Unable to cast object of type 'Telerik.Windows.Documents.Fixed.FormatProviders.Pdf.Model.Elements.Forms.FormFieldsTree' to type 'Telerik.Windows.Documents.Fixed.FormatProviders.Pdf.Model.Types.PdfArray'.'PdfStreamWriter: "InvalidOperationException: 'isContentReleased'" is thrown when creating a multi-page document with an umlaut on the last page.
Workaround - Explicitly set the block font:block.TextProperties.Font = FontsRepository.Courier;
Add support for GoToR action

During export operation of a document that contains signature fields the following error occurs:
System.InvalidOperationException: 'The signature was not properly initialized for external signing. The signing delegate is missing.'This is the code snippet for reproducing the error message:
