Open an existing PDF document

Find tables in the document
Read the cell contents of those tables

?

[Solved] Create a Table and Control Column Widths and Sizes

I'm just trying to create a table in PDF with this:

https://docs.telerik.com/devtools/document-processing/libraries/radpdfprocessing/editing/table

In general a nice thing.

1) The only way to set the Font of the (entire) table I found, is to set the Font for each singular block in each singular cell, and this before inserting the text.

That means I cannot just do this: AddTableCell().Blocks.AddBlock().InsertText("cell11");

Is there a simpler way, to have some Default for the entire Table ? I found this DefaultCellProperties thing, but this concerns only background and borders

2) There is this property

table.LayoutType = Telerik.Windows.Documents.Fixed.Model.Editing.Flow.TableLayoutType.FixedWidth;

The automatic works quiet well if you have text in the table, having f.e. an empty line, it shrinks the height of this line.

So I thought I changed to 'fixedwidth' and set it manually.

But than, I haven't found anything to set width oder height of Rows or Cells.

So what is this FixedWidth good for, how do I set the height of a Row or a ColumnWidth, although the concept of a column is kind of missing in this class.

My Coding.....
Dim fileFormatProvider As IFormatProvider(Of Flow.Model.RadFlowDocument) = New Flow.FormatProviders.Docx.DocxFormatProvider()
Dim documentToConvert As Flow.Model.RadFlowDocument = New Flow.Model.RadFlowDocument()

Using input As FileStream = New FileStream("H:\\Files\\Testing.docx", FileMode.Open)
documentToConvert = fileFormatProvider.Import(input)
End Using

fileFormatProvider = New Telerik.Windows.Documents.Flow.FormatProviders.Pdf.PdfFormatProvider()

Using output As Stream = New FileStream(pathpdf, FileMode.OpenOrCreate)
fileFormatProvider.Export(documentToConvert, output)
End Using

Thanks

Convert from Word to PDF

Hello.

I am trying to convert docx-files to pdf-files using DocxFormatProvider to import the files, and using PdfFormatProvider to export the files. This works fine in most cases, but it seems that images that are not inline are missing from the generated pdf-file.

Example:
If I have a word-file with 2 images and some text. One image is inline, another is not (lets say it has the text-wrap setting to "square"). I import the docx-file to a RadFlowDocument. The inline image gets detected in the RadFlowDocument as ImageInLine, while the image with text-wrap gets detected as FloatingImage. In the end I export as PDF and save it locally. When I open the PDF, only text and the inline image is showing, the floating (text-wrapped) image is gone.

Is there a way to keep all images when converting from docx to pdf?

Here is a snippet of my code:

var providerDocx = new DocxFormatProvider();

var document = providerDocx.Import(inStream); //inStream is read from a docx file earlier

var providerPdf = new PdfFormatProvider();

Stream outStream = new MemoryStream();

providerPdf.Export(document, outStream);

//Test the conversion:

var fileStream = File.Create("PdfTest.pdf");

outStream.Seek(0, SeekOrigin.Begin);

outStream.CopyTo(fileStream);

fileStream.Close();

Excel 2003

Hello, I had an application that used the excel interop, but I have changed it and now, to create the excels I use telerik, but some of my clients that use Excel 2003 have problems to open the excel created, they appear rare characters. Any ideas please? My code is something like that

string nombre= ruta + "\\excel.xls";

Workbook workbook = new Workbook();

workbook.Sheets.Add(SheetType.Worksheet);

Worksheet xlsSheet = xlsBook.ActiveWorksheet;

xlsSheet.Cells[1, 1].SetValue("prueba");

...

//Guardamos y abrimos la excel.

IWorkbookFormatProvider formatProvider = WorkbookFormatProvidersManager.GetProviderByName("XlsxFormatProvider");

using (Stream output = new FileStream(nombre, FileMode.Create))

{

formatProvider.Export(workbook, output);

}

Thank you!

Changing Cells colors with a 30 megs file

Good day,

I'm importing an Excel file and I need to validate all the cells an then import the result in our database.

When I have and error I change the Cell color. For small file I don't fell a performance issue. But on big file it's not possible. It take about half a second to change the color.

I turn off the History mode on the Woorkbook. wb.History.IsEnabled = false;

This is my code with cellSelection.SetFill(SolidErrorFill); commented to have better speed. How can I achieve a better speed ?

Thanks!

Best way of storing contents of RadPanel using DrawImage

HI,

I have an application which is generating a PDF report using FIxedContentEditor, some of the report must contain a dump of the contents of various RadPanel controls, my current implementation first creates a bitmap of the control using control.DrawToBitmap and then converts this to a BitmapSource and then an ImageSource.

Its not particularly fast and takes around 2.5 seconds for a single 3000x2000 full page image to be added to the PDF, is there a better / faster / more efficient way this can be achieved ?

Regards

Toby

Create new interactive forms field for each item in list

Good Morning,

I'm currently working on a project which consists in using a foreach on a list which then I would like to create a new texbox for each of the items.

Also please note that I'm new to this so sorry if I haven't explained it properly.

When running the debugger it complains of the item having the same key when it comes around to create the second textbox. Which it would be referring to the the "txtBox".

Please see the snippet below:

foreach (var c in list)

{
TextBoxField txtBox = new TextBoxField("txtBox");

txtBox.IsRequired = true;
txtBox.IsReadOnly = true;
document.AcroForm.FormFields.Add(txtBox);
txtBox.Value = "abc";
editor.Position.Translate(0, 110);
editor.DrawWidget(txtBox, new System.Windows.Size (300, 100));
};

Thanks

Marco
