cannot convert from RadDocument to RadFixedDocument

[Pavel]

I am trying to save the results of mail merge as a PDF, but I am getting a compiler error.

cannot convert from RadDocument to RadFixedDocument

Is there a way around it? Here's my code

using (SaveFileDialog dialog = new SaveFileDialog())
{
    dialog.Filter = "PDF (*.pdf)|*.pdf";
    dialog.FilterIndex = 2;
    dialog.RestoreDirectory = true;

    if (dialog.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
    {
        var provider = new  PdfFormatProvider();
        radRichTextEditor1.Document.MailMergeDataSource.ItemsSource = LetterService.GetEmployersMailMergeSource();
        using (Stream output = File.Create(dialog.FileName))
        {
            //error here
            provider.Export(radRichTextEditor1.Document.MailMerge(), output);
        }
    }
}

Hi Pavel,

Thank you for writing.

I believe you are using the wrong exporter. Could you please try initializing it like this:

var provider = new Telerik.WinForms.Documents.FormatProviders.Pdf.PdfFormatProvider();

I hope this will be useful. Let me know if you have additional questions.
