To reproduce: private void radButton1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { var document = new RadDocument(); var section = new Section(); document.Sections.Add(section); var paragraph = new Paragraph(); section.Blocks.Add(paragraph); var span = new Span("BOLD"); span.FontWeight = FontWeights.Bold; paragraph.Inlines.Add(span); span = new Span(" REGULAR"); paragraph.Inlines.Add(span); editor.Document = document; var pdfExporter = new PdfFormatProvider(); var path = Path.GetTempFileName() + ".pdf"; using (var file = File.Create(path)) { pdfExporter.Export(document, file); file.Flush(); file.Close(); } Process.Start(path); } Workaround: export .docx file and use the RadWordsProcessing library to import the .doc file and export it to pdf: private void radButton1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { var document = new RadDocument(); var section = new Section(); document.Sections.Add(section); var paragraph = new Paragraph(); section.Blocks.Add(paragraph); var span = new Span("BOLD"); span.FontWeight = FontWeights.Bold; paragraph.Inlines.Add(span); span = new Span(" REGULAR"); paragraph.Inlines.Add(span); editor.Document = document; var wordExporter = new Telerik.WinForms.Documents.FormatProviders.OpenXml.Docx.DocxFormatProvider(); var wordPath = Path.GetTempFileName() + ".doc"; using (var file = File.Create(wordPath)) { wordExporter.Export(document, file); file.Flush(); file.Close(); } Telerik.Windows.Documents.Flow.FormatProviders.Docx.DocxFormatProvider provider = new Telerik.Windows.Documents.Flow.FormatProviders.Docx.DocxFormatProvider(); using (Stream input = File.OpenRead(wordPath)) { Telerik.Windows.Documents.Flow.Model.RadFlowDocument doc = provider.Import(input); Telerik.Windows.Documents.Flow.FormatProviders.Pdf.PdfFormatProvider pdfProvider = new Telerik.Windows.Documents.Flow.FormatProviders.Pdf.PdfFormatProvider(); string filePath = @"..\..\" + DateTime.Now.ToLongTimeString().Replace(":", "-"); using (var output = File.Create(filePath)) { pdfProvider.Export(doc, output); } Process.Start(filePath); } }
