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.
Hello support team,
We faced an exception that ShadingType 1 is not supported. Can you please confirm that this is expected?

This is the code for reproducing the incorrect PDF document. If the step with changing the font is commented, the document is exported properly:
//Step 1: Create an instance of XlsxFormatProvider to import the Excel file
XlsxFormatProvider xlsxFormatProvider = new XlsxFormatProvider();
Telerik.Windows.Documents.Spreadsheet.FormatProviders.Pdf.PdfFormatProvider pdfFormatProvider = new Telerik.Windows.Documents.Spreadsheet.FormatProviders.Pdf.PdfFormatProvider();
Workbook workbook;
using (FileStream input = new FileStream("Input.xlsx", FileMode.Open))
{
workbook = xlsxFormatProvider.Import(input, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(10));
}
//Step 2: Export the workbook to PDF RadFixedDocument to modify fonts
Telerik.Windows.Documents.Spreadsheet.FormatProviders.Pdf.PdfFormatProvider spread_pdf_provider = new Telerik.Windows.Documents.Spreadsheet.FormatProviders.Pdf.PdfFormatProvider();
RadFixedDocument fixedDocument = spread_pdf_provider.ExportToFixedDocument(workbook, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(10));
foreach (var page in fixedDocument.Pages)
{
foreach (var content in page.Content)
{
if (content is TextFragment text)
{
// Replace the font with Helvetica or HelveticaBold based on the original font style
text.Font = text.Font.Name.ToLower().Contains("bold")
? FontsRepository.HelveticaBold
: FontsRepository.Helvetica;
}
}
}
//Step 3: Save the modified RadFixedDocument back to PDF

The issue may be reproduced by opening the attached PDF in Adobe Reader. Although the viewer initially shows the characters correctly, when you start typing in the TextBox, the umlaut/diacritics characters get corrupted. In other PDF viewers, the umlaut characters are handled correctly, so the issue seems to related to concrete Adobe Reader encoding handling implementation. The diacritic characters are handled incorrectly in other viewers as well (e.g. Chrome).
When importing a document with an invalid creation or modification date, an exception is thrown:
When a Pdf document contains TextBoxFields some of which are hidden and you merge it with another document, the hidden state is reset and the field appears in the merged document:
