Hello Nader,

Hello Nader,

There was similar bug in the past, but it has been addressed so this is not an expected behavior. Please open Windows Control Panel, go to Region and Language and then click on the Administrative tab. I need to know what is set inside the Language for non-Unicode programs dropdown.

Thanks,
Daniel

The Language for non-Unicode is set to English (United States)

Hello Nader,

Please isolate the problem in a runnable sample project and submit it via our support ticket system.
I will debug it locally and will try to reproduce the issue.

Kind regards,

I am using the latest version of Telerik controls but the exported pdf is still secured.

Is there a way to export it unsecured.

Hi,

You need to set the AllowCopy property to true: RadGrid1.ExportSettings.Pdf.AllowCopy = true;

Alternatively, you can export the rendered grid in the browser through RadClientExportManager as shown here: https://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/client-export-manager/functionality/export-html-elements/defaultcs.aspx.

Thanks, that worked.

Actually the document is still exported as secure. See the attached error message when I open it with acrobat.

Hello,

Try setting AllowEdit to true. You can find a list of the other similar settings in the following documentation section: https://docs.telerik.com/devtools/aspnet-ajax/controls/grid/functionality/exporting/export-formats/pdf-export#pdf-specific-settings-and-events.
