It is actually checked and only the appearance is wrong. When the file is saved the checkboxes states are as expected.

This behavior is observed with PdfImportSettings.ReadOnDemand setting only.

While all the pages and components of the control are rendered on the image, the content is completely missing from it. The issue is a regression caused by the migration of the model and its async rendering introduced in R3 2020.

Workaround: Fallback to the old rendering engine:

• Changing the default behavior:

 this.pdfViewer.DefaultImportSettings.UseOldRendering = true;

• Setting the property to the format provider used to show the document:

PdfImportSettings settings = PdfImportSettings.ReadOnDemand;
settings.UseOldRendering = true;

When using CTRL+Mousewheel to zoom in to a PDFViewer document, it should zoom into the point where the mouse pointer is located. Currently it just does a simple zoom of the whole document.

For example see Acrobat Reader or Google Maps.

Handle import of documents containing Simple fonts with names of entries in the Encoding`s Differences that are not part of the Adobe Glyph List.

RadPdfViewer can not find startxref keyword at the end of a document if the document contains many zero bytes at its end. NotSupportedException is thrown with "Startxref keyword cannot be found" message. 

Workaround: Trim the ending zero bytes before loading the document to the PdfViewer. This is currently noted in the WinForms KB article:

The object definitions are split into several lines:

From the PDF specification:

Prev: (Present only if the file has more than one cross-reference section; must not be an indirect reference) The byte offset from the beginning of the file to the beginning of the previous cross-reference section. 

When importing such a document an exception is thrown: System.ArgumentNullException: 'Value cannot be null.
