When a signed document containing an image with Indexed color space is import-exported the image data seems corrupted.

Currently, the SkiaImageFormatProvider considers the RadFixedPage.Size when creating the image. If the RadFixedPage.CropBox is specified, the developer can control what rectangle of the page to be displayed/printed. However, it is not considered when exporting to an image. Improving the SkiaImageFormatProvider to respect the CropBox as well will give the opportunity to crop just a certain region of the PDF page and save it as an image.

Wrong glyph rendering due to incorrectly parsed Type1Font glyph data.

I have a simple program that imports a PDF, calls AcroForm.FlattenFormFields(), and calls Export() on the PdfFormatProvider. With the attached example PDF I am seeing the following exception.

System.NotImplementedException: 'The method or operation is not implemented.'

As a result, the glyphs are not measured and arranged properly. The issue applies to TrueType and Type1 fonts.

InvalidDataException: 'Unknown compression method (0x3C)' when importing a file with XRef table defined in an object with FlateDecode filter.

A shading dictionary specifies details of a particular gradient fill, including the
type of shading to be used, the geometry of the area to be shaded, and the geometry of the gradient fill. Various shading types are available, depending on the value of the dictionary’s ShadingType entry:

• Coons patch meshes (type 6) construct a shading from one or more color
  patches, each bounded by four cubic Bézier curves.

When importing a document with a missing "endobj" operator, an exception is thrown: InvalidCastException: 'Unable to cast object of type 'Telerik.Windows.Documents.Fixed.FormatProviders.Pdf.Model.Types.PdfInt' to type 'Telerik.Windows.Documents.Fixed.FormatProviders.Pdf.Model.Types.IndirectObject'.'

AcroForms are not saved when splitting a document into pages. This leads to forms not being recognized when the file is imported back.

Add support for GoToR action

When exporting the PDF content to plain text, the form fields and their values are not extracted. It would be nice to have an option to include the content in the form fields as well.

I have a simple program that imports a PDF, calls AcroForm.FlattenFormFields(), and calls Export() on the PdfFormatProvider. I am seeing the following exception during Import() on a signed W9 form a customer has uploaded into our system. Due to the sensitive nature of the document I cannot upload it, but below is the Sig section. I have tried other example signed PDFs which seem to work fine (See attached)
