Embedding a TrueType font collection using the FontsRepository.RegisterFont method leads to glyphs with empty outlines collection. The missing outlines are caused due to an empty glyf and loca tables of the TrueType font file.

Release 2024.2.426 (2024 Q2)

Currently, a NullReferenceException is thrown because of the incorrect structure. 

As a workaround, the exception can be handled using the Handling Exceptions mechanism.

Update:
When importing documents with invalid structure of path construction operators an InvalidGraphicOperandsCountException is thrown which could be handled using the Handling Exceptions mechanism.

PdfFormatProvider provider = new PdfFormatProvider();
provider.ImportSettings.DocumentUnhandledException += this.ImportSettings_DocumentUnhandledException;

private void ImportSettings_DocumentUnhandledException(object sender, DocumentUnhandledExceptionEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Exception is InvalidGraphicOperandsCountException)
    {
        e.Handled = true;
    }
}

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.

                var formfields = document.AcroForm.FormFields;

                var formFieldsCopy = new List<FormField>(document.AcroForm.FormFields);

                // Iterate over the copied form fields and replace the dot character in their names for solving merging issue
                foreach (var field in formFieldsCopy)

                    field.Name = field.Name.Replace(".", "");

                filledupForms.Add(provider.Export(document));

According to the PDF specification:
A clipping path operator (W or W*) may appear after the last path construction operator and before the path-painting operator that terminates a path object.

Invalid:

W                          % clipping path operator
0 0 m                     % start of the path construction
596 0 l
596 842 l
0 842 l
h                            % end of the path construction
n                            % path-painting operator
Valid:
0 0 m
596 0 l
596 842 l
0 842 l
h
W
n

Currently (in the invalid cases), the path construction is skipped on import.

Currently, when registering *.otf font file with FontsRepository.RegisterFont method an exception is thrown during the font creation. 

WORKAROUND:  The font file may be converted to TTF format (*.ttf) which is successfully registered. This conversion may be achieved with FontForge by opening the font file and then choosing File -> Generate Fonts -> TrueType -> Generate.

When calling a PDF export in a high-concurrency environment the internal state can get corrupted because it uses a non-thread safe collection internally.

Sample code:

void WriteToPdf(RadFlowDocument document, Stream outputStream) {

   PdfFormatProvider pdfWriter = new() {};

   pdfWriter.Export(document, outputStream);
}

When calling it like this:

Parallel.ForEachAsync(listOfDocuments, (document, _) => {
   WriteToPdf(document, Stream.Null);
});

An exception may occur:

System.InvalidOperationException: Operations that change non-concurrent collections must have exclusive access. A concurrent update was performed on this collection and corrupted its state. The collection's state is no longer correct.
   at System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary`2.FindValue(TKey key)
   at Telerik.Windows.Documents.Fixed.Model.Fonts.FontsRepository.TryCreateFont(FontFamily fontFamily, FontStyle fontStyle, FontWeight fontWeight, FontBase& font)
   at Telerik.Windows.Documents.Flow.FormatProviders.Pdf.Utils.Extensions.CopyPropertiesFrom(CharacterProperties fixedProperties, PdfExportContext context, CharacterProperties properties)
   at Telerik.Windows.Documents.Flow.FormatProviders.Pdf.Export.PdfExporter.CreateListLevel(ListLevel flowLevel)

   at Telerik.Windows.Documents.Common.FormatProviders.FormatProviderBase`1.Export(T document, Stream output)
   at xxxxx.Application.Common.PdfGeneration.PdfWriter.WriteToPdf(RadFlowDocument document, Stream outputStream) 

The state is then corrupted forever, until the application is restarted.

Realistic scenario where this is also reproduced: Web application that generates PDFs and is called concurrently.

An implementation of JPXDecoder should be created to allow the decompression of data encoded using the wavelet-based JPEG2000 standard.

Guidelines of how to provide a custom implementation of the JPXDecode filter can be found in the Customize Rendering section of the documentation and a sample implementation can be found in the SDK examples.
