Release R2 2021 SP1
By specification, the URI property of URI Actions is encoded in 7-bit ASCII string. For this reason, our current implementation relies on that the property will be of type PdfLiteralString. However, in cases such as password-encrypted documents, the property may be encoded with PdfHexString which leads to InvalidCastException: 'Unable to cast object of type Telerik.Windows.Documents.Fixed.FormatProviders.Pdf.Model.Types.PdfHexString' to type 'Telerik.Windows.Documents.Fixed.FormatProviders.Pdf.Model.Types.PdfLiteralString'.', on document import.

Release R2 2021 SP1

According to the PDF specification (Adobe® Portable Document Format Version 1.7), the appearance dictionary is optional and it is specifying how the annotation is presented visually on the page.

Exceptions thrown:

NullReferenceException: 'Object reference not set to an instance of an object.'

Release LIB 2021.2.531 (31/05/2021)

When the document contains Simple Font with predefined encoding and no ToUnicode mapping the text should be extracted with the following algorithm:

  • Map the character code to a character name according to the font’s Differences array.
  • Look up the character name in the Adobe Glyph List to obtain the corresponding Unicode value. 

Currently, the PdfProcessing library doesn't map the character code properly which leads to wrongly encoded text content.

This API should provide a method for removing all fields and widgets in the document and draw the default widget appearance in place of the removed widgets.

WORKAROUND: Sample implementation for flattening form fields may be seen in the FlattenFormFields method from the attached demo project.

When exporting TextBoxField with a Simple font and a Differences array defined in the Encoding, the CharCodes covered by this array are incorrectly mapped to glyph indices.
Completed
Last Updated: 19 Apr 2021 10:35 by ADMIN
Release R2 2021

When a TrueType font is defined, the mapping of character codes to glyph indices depends on the built-in cmap table mappings defined in the font and the Encoding property defined in the PDF dictionary.

However, the current implementation maps all characters with cmap tables for Microsoft Symbolic and Macintosh Roman, which causes incorrect mapping results, e.g. space characters are mapped to an Ê glyph.

The issue is also described in the following public item: TryGetCharCode for OpenTypeFont uses wrong cmap and returns wrong charcode.

Workaround: Change the font  of the TextBoxField's widget appearance:
foreach (var widget in field.Widgets)
{
    widget.TextProperties.Font = FontsRepository.Helvetica;
}

Release LIB 2021.1.309 (9/3/2021)

When merging or splitting files that contain the "159 '\u009f'" char, ArgumentException("The encoding is not supported.") is thrown.

This issue can also result in ArgumentException in client applications with the message: currentIndirectObject should be null.

Workaround:

Use PdfFormatProvider or reflection to register the char (check the comments).
