Currently, we support inserting png, jpg and other raster graphic images. Provide a way to insert image from SVG (vector graphic image format), by creating a FormSource from its parsed XML.

Currently, a default constant value is used for the font size in this scenario.

This new API will not read/delete the existing PDF pages content and this would allow performance and memory efficient realization of the following scenarios: 

 - Merge PDF document pages from different PDF files.

 - Split PDF document pages to separate PDF files.

 - Append/Prepend PDF content to existing PDF pages.

Moreover, as this approach will not require reading/deleting existing PDF page content, it will not depend on complex PDF features and will depend only on the PDF file structure. This will allow processing of PDF documents which use less common PDF features which are currently not supported by the existing PdfProcessing API.


Available in R1 2017 Release

CMYK color may be set using SCN, scn, K and k operators.

Available support for import of CMYK colors in R3 2018 Official Release.

Currently RadPdfProcessing allows setting standard fonts using FontsRepository static properties.

However, in RadWordsProcessing font can be set only by specifying FontFamily, FontWeight and FontStyle. As there is no way to set standard fonts this way, API users cannot benefit from using these fonts which may help them achieve smaller PDF size as standard fonts may not be embedded. The same applies to RadSpreadhProcessing as well.

Implemented import and export of IccBased, Indexed, Cmyk color spaces. Available in Q3 2015.

Available in R2 2018 Official Release version.

Export should take into account JavaScript and produce PDF similar to the original page.

Add ability to create, import and modify layers (optional content) in a PDF document.

Currently, this missing functionality may be workaround by either drawing the headers and footers with FixedContentEditor or by using RadWordsProcessing PDF export.

As one can use annotations we should support attachments per page or per pdf-file.

This property should work similar to PreferredWidth cell property but in vertical direction.

Implement importing and exporting the javascript actions associated with push button fields so that they can be executed when the exported document is opened with Adobe Acrobat. Javascript actions are also used by text fields for text validation (for instance for date input).

Currently, NotSupportedException is thrown when trying to import a document that uses Type 3 fonts. 

Provide a way to change the Name of a FormField from the RadDocument.AcroForm.FormFields collection.

As a workaround, you could create a new instance of a FormField with the desired name, add the new field in the document and remove the old one. You can use the following approach:
   1) Create a new instance of FormField (with the desired name, passed in the constructor), which will play the role of a copy of a specific FormField
   2) Copy all properties from the original field (they all vary, depending on the concrete type of the FormField, for example CheckBoxField, etc.)
   3) Create a new widget for the new field, and copy all properties from the original field's widget into the new one.
   4) Remove the original field from the RadDocument.AcroForm.FormFields collection and add the new field.
   5) Remove the original widget from the corresponding page's annotation and add the new one.

Attached is a project demonstrating this approach for a CheckBoxField.

RadPdfProcessing currently supports interactive forms whose data is defined directly in the document. Add support for interactive forms based on the Adobe XML Forms Architecture (XFA). The entry is defined inside the interactive forms dictionary and refers to an XML stream containing the information of the form. More information is available on page 722 from Pdf Reference, version 1.7.

Text fields should support rich text strings allowing the user to use rich text elements and attributes.

Currently, NotSupportedEncryptionException is thrown.

The CropBox is currently not supported by RadFixedPage class and is not preserved on an Import-Export scenario with PdfFormatProvider. CropBox is also not supported by PdfPageSource class and it is not preserved by using PdfStreamWriter as well. This property should be implemented in both scenarios.
