PdfProcessing: Handle merge of documents containing fields with the same invalid name.

Unplanned
Last Updated: 26 Apr 2024 08:37 by ADMIN

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.Flow.FormatProviders.Pdf.Export.PdfExporter.CreateList(List flowList)
   at Telerik.Windows.Documents.Flow.FormatProviders.Pdf.Export.PdfExporter.ExportDocument(RadFlowDocument document, RadFixedDocumentEditor editor)
   at Telerik.Windows.Documents.Flow.FormatProviders.Pdf.Export.PdfExporter.ExportInternal()
   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.

This is the code snippet for reproducing the error message: 

        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            string filePath = "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet.pdf";
            //load a random document
            PdfFormatProvider provider = new PdfFormatProvider();
            RadFixedDocument originalDocument;
            using (Stream stream = File.OpenRead(filePath))
            {
                originalDocument = provider.Import(stream);
            }
            //draw something on the first page
            FixedContentEditor editor = new FixedContentEditor(originalDocument.Pages[0]);
            editor.GraphicProperties.IsFilled = true;
            editor.GraphicProperties.FillColor = RgbColors.Black;
            Telerik.Documents.Primitives.Rect Rect = new Telerik.Documents.Primitives.Rect(10, 10, 200, 100);
            editor.DrawRectangle(Rect);

            //export the pages as images and build a brand new document from the images
            SkiaImageFormatProvider imageProvider = new SkiaImageFormatProvider();
            imageProvider.ExportSettings.ImageFormat = SkiaImageFormat.Jpeg;
            imageProvider.ExportSettings.ScaleFactor = 0.8;
            imageProvider.ExportSettings.Quality = 80;


            RadFixedDocument doc = new RadFixedDocument();
            foreach (RadFixedPage page in originalDocument.Pages)
            {
                byte[] resultImage = imageProvider.Export(page);
                RadFixedPage pdfpage = doc.Pages.AddPage();
                editor = new FixedContentEditor(pdfpage);
                Stream imageStream = new MemoryStream(resultImage);
                editor.DrawImage(imageStream);
            }

            //export the pdf built from the images

            {

            }
            Process.Start(new ProcessStartInfo() { FileName = outputPdf, UseShellExecute = true });

Some fonts don't include bold and italic font styles. These fonts can be exported with the default typeface, and additional transformation could be applied to the letters itself - e.g. skew transform for the italic.

Note: Make sure that this will also work when exporting to PDF in WordsProcessing.

For example exporting the text "\uD83D\uDE0A" with "Segoe UI Symbol" font family should export a single smiling face. Instead the characters are skipped during the export as PdfProcessing is trying to export them as separate char values ("\uD83D" and "\uDE0A") and the font does not contain glyphs corresponding to these char codes.

A free text annotation displays text directly on the page. Unlike an ordinary text annotation, a free text annotation has no open or closed state; instead of being displayed in a pop-up window, the text is always visible.

When importing specific documents and signing a predefined SignatureField leads to not successfully validated signatures in Adobe, but successfully validated in other pdf viewers (eg. Telerik WPF PdfViewer, Foxit PDF Reader).

Solution:
When signing an existing document (after the import) we must be sure the AcroForm's ViewersShouldRecalculateWidgetAppearances property is set to false, otherwise, the exported and signed PDF document could not be shown as a signed. 

if (document.AcroForm.ViewersShouldRecalculateWidgetAppearances)
{
	document.AcroForm.ViewersShouldRecalculateWidgetAppearances = false;
}
