When importing a document with empty pages collection an ArgumentNullException: 'Value cannot be null.
Parameter name: page', is thrown, which leads to application crash.

Workaround: Import the document using the PdfProcessing library and add an empty page:

 

The CIDFont dictionary may contain an array, describing the widths of the glyphs. If the width has a negative value an ArgumentException: 'Width and Height must be non-negative.', is thrown when the document is imported in RadPdfViewer, which leads to application crash.

By specification, the InteractiveForm fields can have the same name if they are descendants of a common ancestor. Such fields are different representations of the same underlying field; they should differ only in properties that specify their visual appearance. When such a document is imported an ArgumentException: 'An item with the same key has already been added.' is thrown, which leads to non-editable fields in RadPdfViewer.

The EI keyword defines an operator for ending the image data. When the stream contains the same sequence, the parser treats that as an end of the image data. As a result, the image and the following content cannot be properly parsed and there is missing content when the document is visualized.

The offset of the CropBox is not respected and is always treated as 0.

Workaround: Import the document with PdfProcessing, change the CropBox offsets of the pages to 0, export the modified document and then import it in PdfViewer.

In the PDF document model, the Annotation appearances refer to an external resource using the Resources dictionary. When the Resources dictionary is defined as an Indirect Object an InvalidCastException: 'Unable to cast object of type 'Telerik.Windows.Documents.Fixed.FormatProviders.Pdf.Model.Types.PdfDictionary' to type 'Telerik.Windows.Documents.Fixed.FormatProviders.Pdf.Model.Elements.DocumentStructure.PdfResource'.', is thrown.

The widgets of the interactive forms are not respected when creating a thumbnail from a PDF page. Implement logic for adding the form fields widgets to the generated image as well.

When loading documents with CFF (Compact Font Format) font source containing .notdef glyph, System.ArgumentException: 'An item with the same key has already been added.', is thrown.

Text characters are missing when document is loaded in RadPdfViewer. When Fit to Page is used then numerous text characters vanish. They do not reappear when zooming back in.

The current page changes too late, almost when the whole page is out of the view. This behavior is wrong making the page number showing the previous page when actually a new one is in the view. It should change when the second page visible height is higher than the current page visible height.

When using the Fluent theme and the NoXaml binaries the above mentioned design time exception is thrown.

When using SaveAsCommandDescriptor of RadPdfViewer and trying to replace a pdf file that is currently open in adobe reader causes the following exception:

Hyperlinks within a document are not working via touch. They are working only when a mouse is used.

By specification, when some of the destination parameters have null value, the current value of that parameter is to be retained unchanged (This rule applies for most of the properties). For example, if Location (XYZ) destination is imported and any of the left, top, or zoom parameters is null, the current value of the visual viewport for the specified property should be retained. 

Workaround: Edit the document destinations and set default values. For example if the document contains Location destinations the Left, Top and Zoom properties can be set:
foreach (var annotation in document.Annotations)
{
    Link link = annotation as Link;
    if (annotation != null)
    {
        if (link.Destination is Location location)
        {
            location.Left = location.Left != null ? location.Left : 0;
            location.Top = location.Top != null ? location.Top : 0;
            location.Zoom = location.Zoom != null ? location.Zoom : 1;
        }
    }
}

Some files when opened with PdfViewer will throw a KeyNotFoundException which will be handled. Parts of the text in the file might or might not be missing.

Customers are reporting an issue when trying to copy content in an application hosted on a remote machine (there are reports using TigerVNC and Citrix).  The exception is thrown from the Clipboard class with a message: OpenClipboard failed (Exception from HRESULT: 0x800401D0 (CLIPBRD_E_CANT_OPEN)).

It seems like such a behavior could be reproduced when the clipboard is already opened by another application. Here is a discussion on the matter: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/68666/clipbrd-e-cant-open-error-when-setting-the-clipboard-from-net

Fix available in LIB Version 2018.3.1029.

This might result in invisible annotations.

When the file has an annotation with a destination and this destination is missing from the destinations (Dests) collection of the catalogue, KeyNotFoundException is thrown when you try to scroll to the page where the annotation is located. A better behavior would be for nothing to happen when trying to click on the annotation leading to the destination.

When a ToUnicode CMap is defined for Simple Font (TrueType or Type1 font) which maps font character codes to two or more Unicode character values, the extracted text should contain the whole set of characters defined in the mappings. The current implementation of RadPdfViewer takes the first character specified in the ToUnicode mapping which leads to missing characters.

This is Unicode (UTF-16BE) encoding for the Adobe-GB1 character collection; contains mappings for all characters in the GB18030-2000 character set.
