This is the code used for merging:
        private  void MergeDifferentDocumentsPagesWithFixed()
        {
            string[] documentsToMerge =
            {
                "14301-STOCK_Proforma.pdf",
                "14302-STOCK_Proforma.pdf",
                "14303-STOCK_Proforma.pdf",
                "14304-STOCK_Proforma.pdf",
                "14305-STOCK_Proforma.pdf",
                "14330-STOCK_Proforma.pdf"
            };
            RadFixedDocument doc = new RadFixedDocument();
            PdfFormatProvider provider = new PdfFormatProvider();
            foreach (string current_item in documentsToMerge)
            {
                string path = @"..\..\Samples\" + current_item;
                RadFixedDocument docToMerge;
                if (!File.Exists(path))
                {
                    continue;
                }
                using (Stream stream = File.OpenRead(path))
                {
                    docToMerge = provider.Import(stream);
                }
                doc.Merge(docToMerge);
            }
            string outputFilePath = @"..\..\mergedFixed.pdf";
            File.Delete(outputFilePath);
            using (Stream output = File.OpenWrite(outputFilePath))
            {
                provider.Export(doc, output);
            }
            Process.Start(new ProcessStartInfo() { FileName = outputFilePath, UseShellExecute = true });
        }Workaround:
   private void MergeDifferentDocumentsPages(string resultFileName)
   {
       string[] documentsToMerge =
       {
           "14301-STOCK_Proforma.pdf",
           "14302-STOCK_Proforma.pdf",
           "14303-STOCK_Proforma.pdf",
           "14304-STOCK_Proforma.pdf",
           "14305-STOCK_Proforma.pdf",
           "14330-STOCK_Proforma.pdf"
       };
       File.Delete(resultFileName);
       using (PdfStreamWriter fileWriter = new PdfStreamWriter(File.OpenWrite(resultFileName)))
       {
           foreach (string documentName in documentsToMerge)
           {
               string path = @"..\..\Samples\" + documentName;
               using (PdfFileSource fileToMerge = new PdfFileSource(File.OpenRead(path)))
               {
                   foreach (PdfPageSource pageToMerge in fileToMerge.Pages)
                   {
                       fileWriter.WritePage(pageToMerge);
                   }
               }
           }
       }
      
       Process.Start(new ProcessStartInfo() { FileName = resultFileName, UseShellExecute = true });
   }
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;
    }
}
I have the following form:
From the screen shot above you can see that the line above 75 is perfectly ok i.e. it doesn't go and intersect with the lines of the 72
but when i perform the following code
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
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.

A page with a negative value rotation is exported as a blank image.
Workaround: Use only the Enum Rotation values (Rotate0, Rotate90, Rotate180, Rotate270).
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. More information on FontForge program may be found here: https://fontforge.github.io/en-US/
PdfProcessing: Handle merge of documents containing fields with the same invalid name.
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.

Realistic scenario where this is also reproduced: Web application that generates PDFs and is called concurrently.
NumberedHierarchical list type has inconsistent indentation after bullets.
The visual fill element is not exported to pdf:
Only the text part is present.
