PdfDocumentSource can't load the document

[Dzmitry]

Hello everybody

 I have a problem with pdf file loading into PdfDocumentSource.

In the OnException handler I have next information:
Value cannot be null.
Parameter name: Pages

   at Telerik.Windows.Documents.Fixed.FormatProviders.Pdf.PdfFormatProvider.Import()
   at Telerik.Windows.Documents.Fixed.PdfDocumentSource.CreateDocumentFromStreamOverride(Stream stream, FormatProviderSettings settings)
   at Telerik.Windows.Documents.Fixed.FixedDocumentStreamSource.CreateDocumentFromStream(Stream stream, FormatProviderSettings settings)

This file is a scan of a document and has one page. I can open it in PDF readers.
Unfortunately ​I can't attach the file because it's confidential (and I don't have such problem with any other file).

Here is it's header and ending:

Is there any possibility to load this document source?

 

Thanks,

Hello ,

From the provided I can see that there is an invalid cross-reference table in the document. After the keyword, the start index of the cross-reference table is 1 while the correct and expected value is 0.

At this point, this kind of invalid documents cannot be opened with RadPdfViewer and we have already logged a task to implement a mechanism to change this behavior. You could subscribe to the related public item in order to receive updates about our progress on it.

To work around this behavior, you could change the value manually to 0 or use the attached project. The demo modifies the original file stream if necessary and creates a new memory stream that has valid start index of the cross-reference table.

Hope this helps.

Regards,
Tanya
