2024 Q4, pdf rendering made text extraction impossible

After updating to 2024 Q4 it has became impossible to extract text from rendered PDF files. Well, we can extract it but it's just abracadabra. The same happens if we open a file in Acrobat Ready and try copying some text. It is copied but is non-sensical. Try with the attached PDF. This worked fine with prev versions.

Hi Dmytro,

Thank you for the attachment.

I confirm the issue. It is reproducible with the Skia rendering in the Standalone Report Designer for .NET 8. With the previous version, the generated document is fine with both Graphics engines.

This is a regression and the developers will prioritize it.

I have converted the thread to a Bug Report and made it public.

As a token of gratitude, we updated your Telerik points.

Regards,
Todor
