Hi Georgi,

I tested the described scenario and could confirm that there is an issue with the PdfFormatProvider. The problem is related with the export of document with LayoutMode set to Flow (this is the default layout mode of RadDocument). I logged the issue in our backlog and you could subscribe to the related public item in order to receive notifications about status changes on it.

To work around this behavior you could set the LayoutMode property of the RadDocument to Paged:

document.LayoutMode = DocumentLayoutMode.Paged;

Hope this helps.

Hi Tanya,
I also tried setting LayoutMode of the RadDocument to Paged but the behaviour of the export provider didn't change.

Here is my code:
byte[] buffer = null;
string extension = fileName.Substring(fileName.LastIndexOf(".") + 1);
IDocumentFormatProvider formatProviderByExtension = DocumentFormatProvidersManager.GetProviderByExtension(extension);
radDocument.LayoutMode = DocumentLayoutMode.Paged;
buffer = formatProviderByExtension.Export(radDocument);
using (FileStream stream = File.Create(fileName)) {
   stream.Write(buffer, 0, buffer.Length);
   stream.Flush();
}

"fileName" is a parameter and when it is with docx extension that code creates well formated word document.

Hi Georgi,

At this I am not able to tell what is the reason for this behavior and will need some more detailed information in order to check what is causing it and give you a suitable solution. Could you share how the document is created and which is the version of the controls you are using? The snippet below demonstrates the approach I am using to achieve the desired visualization:

RadDocument radDocument = new RadDocument();

radDocument.LayoutMode = DocumentLayoutMode.Paged;

RadDocumentEditor editor = new RadDocumentEditor(radDocument);

editor.Insert(content);

editor.ChangeParagraphTextAlignment(RadTextAlignment.Center);

editor.ChangeSectionActualPageMargin(new Padding(100));

byte[] buffer = null;

string extension = fileName.Substring(fileName.LastIndexOf(".") + 1);

IDocumentFormatProvider formatProviderByExtension = DocumentFormatProvidersManager.GetProviderByExtension(extension);

buffer = formatProviderByExtension.Export(radDocument);

using (FileStream stream = File.Create(fileName))

{

stream.Write(buffer, 0, buffer.Length);

stream.Flush();

}

The issue with Adobe Reader was present in earlier versions and has been fixed with after the Q3 2014 release. The first official release it was included in is Q1 2015.
