When merging documents with exactly the same font but different character widths, some characters are rendered with the wrong width.

This is the code used for merging:

        private  void MergeDifferentDocumentsPagesWithFixed()
        {
            string[] documentsToMerge =
            {
                "14301-STOCK_Proforma.pdf",
                "14302-STOCK_Proforma.pdf",
                "14303-STOCK_Proforma.pdf",
                "14304-STOCK_Proforma.pdf",
                "14305-STOCK_Proforma.pdf",
                "14330-STOCK_Proforma.pdf"
            };
            RadFixedDocument doc = new RadFixedDocument();
            PdfFormatProvider provider = new PdfFormatProvider();
            foreach (string current_item in documentsToMerge)
            {
                string path = @"..\..\Samples\" + current_item;
                RadFixedDocument docToMerge;
                if (!File.Exists(path))
                {
                    continue;
                }
                using (Stream stream = File.OpenRead(path))
                {
                    docToMerge = provider.Import(stream);
                }
                doc.Merge(docToMerge);
            }


            string outputFilePath = @"..\..\mergedFixed.pdf";
            File.Delete(outputFilePath);

            using (Stream output = File.OpenWrite(outputFilePath))
            {
                provider.Export(doc, output);
            }
            Process.Start(new ProcessStartInfo() { FileName = outputFilePath, UseShellExecute = true });


        }

Workaround:  

   private void MergeDifferentDocumentsPages(string resultFileName)
   {
       string[] documentsToMerge =
       {
           "14301-STOCK_Proforma.pdf",
           "14302-STOCK_Proforma.pdf",
           "14303-STOCK_Proforma.pdf",
           "14304-STOCK_Proforma.pdf",
           "14305-STOCK_Proforma.pdf",
           "14330-STOCK_Proforma.pdf"
       };

       File.Delete(resultFileName);
       using (PdfStreamWriter fileWriter = new PdfStreamWriter(File.OpenWrite(resultFileName)))
       {
           foreach (string documentName in documentsToMerge)
           {
               string path = @"..\..\Samples\" + documentName;
               using (PdfFileSource fileToMerge = new PdfFileSource(File.OpenRead(path)))
               {
                   foreach (PdfPageSource pageToMerge in fileToMerge.Pages)
                   {
                       fileWriter.WritePage(pageToMerge);
                   }
               }
           }
       }


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

A page with a negative value rotation is exported as a blank image.

Workaround: Use only the Enum Rotation values (Rotate0, Rotate90, Rotate180, Rotate270).

If  row has a property set on it (for example "hidden" or a style), but it does not otherwise have any cells in it, the application might run into an infinite loop. The xml will look like this:

	<sheetData>
		<row r="1" spans="1:2" x14ac:dyDescent="0.35">
			<c r="A1"><v>1</v></c>
			<c r="B1"><v>2</v></c>
		</row>
		<row r="2" spans="1:2" s="1" customFormat="1" x14ac:dyDescent="0.35"/>
	</sheetData>

The last row has formatting applied, so it is present as an element, but has no cells. This file (when the xml is not formatted) will cause an infinite loop on import.

The attached gif file illustrates the inability to open the newly added file with the password: 

Sub Main()
	Dim sZipFilePath As String = "..\..\test.zip"
	File.Delete(sZipFilePath)

	CreateArchive(sZipFilePath)
	Dim decryptionSettings As DecryptionSettings = EncryptionSettings.CreateDecryptionSettings()
	AddHandler decryptionSettings.PasswordRequired, AddressOf DecryptionSettings_PasswordRequired
	Dim compressionSettings As CompressionSettings = Nothing
	Dim encoding As Encoding = Nothing
	Using oFS As FileStream = File.Open(sZipFilePath, FileMode.OpenOrCreate)


		Using oArchive As ZipArchive = ZipArchive.Update(oFS, encoding, compressionSettings, decryptionSettings)
			Using entry As ZipArchiveEntry = oArchive.CreateEntry("newText.txt")
				Dim writer As StreamWriter = New StreamWriter(entry.Open())
				writer.WriteLine("Hello world!")
				writer.Flush()
			End Using
		End Using
	End Using
End Sub

Private Sub CreateArchive(sZipFilePath As String)
	Using stream As Stream = File.Open(sZipFilePath, FileMode.Create)
		Dim _encryptionSettings As PasswordEncryptionSettings = EncryptionSettings.CreatePkzipPasswordEncryptionSettings()
		_encryptionSettings.Password = "telerik"
		Dim compressionSettings As CompressionSettings = Nothing
		Dim encoding As Encoding = Nothing

		Using archive As ZipArchive = ZipArchive.Create(stream, encoding, compressionSettings, _encryptionSettings)

			Using entry As ZipArchiveEntry = archive.CreateEntry("text.txt")
				Dim writer As StreamWriter = New StreamWriter(entry.Open())
				writer.WriteLine("Hello world!")
				writer.Flush()
			End Using
		End Using
	End Using
End Sub

Private Sub DecryptionSettings_PasswordRequired(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As PasswordRequiredEventArgs)
	e.Password = "telerik"
End Sub

 

Workaround: Until this bug is fixed the obsolete API could be used instead: 

ZipArchive archive = new ZipArchive(stream, ZipArchiveMode.Create, true, encoding, compressionSettings, encryptionSettings)
and
ZipArchive oArchive = new ZipArchive(stream, ZipArchiveMode.Update, true, encoding, compressionSettings, decryptionSettings)

I have the following form:

From the screen shot above you can see that the line above 75 is perfectly ok i.e. it doesn't go and intersect with the lines of the 72

but when i perform the following code


            var InputFileWithInteractiveForms = "C:\\Users\\Abhishek.Shrestha\\Downloads\\Template\\form-ub04.pdf";
            var finaldPDFName = "C:\\Users\\Abhishek.Shrestha\\Downloads\\TestABCPDF\\output2322.pdf";
            List<byte[]> filledupForms = new List<byte[]>();
            PdfFormatProvider provider = new PdfFormatProvider();
                
                RadFixedDocument document = provider.Import(File.ReadAllBytes(InputFileWithInteractiveForms));

                var formfields = document.AcroForm.FormFields;

                var formFieldsCopy = new List<FormField>(document.AcroForm.FormFields);

                // Iterate over the copied form fields and replace the dot character in their names for solving merging issue
                foreach (var field in formFieldsCopy)
                {
                    field.Name = field.Name.Replace(".", "");
                }
                
               //added this as the values were being hidden by editable fields
                document.AcroForm.ViewersShouldRecalculateWidgetAppearances = true;

                filledupForms.Add(provider.Export(document));
                File.WriteAllBytes(finaldPDFName, provider.Export(document));

I get the following output:

The text in the footer remains under the image while drawing the PDF content.

The value of the TextBoxField is not visible until the field is clicked.

Workaround: Force content update:

foreach (var widget in textBoxField.Widgets)
{
    widget.RecalculateContent();
}

If the update still doesn't fix the issue, change the font prior to setting the value of the field:

foreach (var widget in textBoxField.Widgets)
{
    widget.TextProperties.Font = FontsRepository.Helvetica;
}
Another option could be to set the ViewersShouldRecalculateWidgetAppearances to true in order to force the viewers to update the appearance of the widgets.
