The help is little bit scarce on registering a font: see http://docs.telerik.com/devtools/wpf/controls/radpdfprocessing/concepts/fonts

There is a data parameter at the end, which should contain the raw data for the font. Looking for more information about the subject I came across https://github.com/telerik/xaml-sdk/blob/f5002a15eb1def98405472bee700f20ad8b65cc9/SpreadProcessing/RegisterAndExportPdfFonts.Web/PdfFontsService.svc.cs where 

public class FontData {
  public bool IsValid { get; set; }
  public byte[] Bytes { get; set; }
  public string FontFamilyName { get; set; }
  public bool IsItalic { get; set; }
  public bool IsBold { get; set; }
}

is defined. Which is used from https://github.com/telerik/xaml-sdk/blob/f5002a15eb1def98405472bee700f20ad8b65cc9/SpreadProcessing/RegisterAndExportPdfFonts/MainPage.xaml.cs to get the Bytes property of the above class to register a font:

PdfFontsServiceFontData result = e.Result;
FontFamily fontFamily = new FontFamily(result.FontFamilyName); FontStyle fontStyle = GetFontStyle(result.IsItalic); FontWeight fontWeight = GetFontWeight(result.IsBold);
FontsRepository.RegisterFont(fontFamily, fontStyle, fontWeight, result.Bytes);

So is this the right way to create the font data:

FontFamily fontFamily = new FontFamily(fontFamilyName);
FontStyle fontStyle = isItalic ? FontStyles.Italic : FontStyles.Normal;
FontWeight fontWeight = isBold ? FontWeights.Bold : FontWeights.Normal;
Typeface typeface = new Typeface(fontFamily, fontStyle, fontWeight, FontStretches.Normal);
GlyphTypeface glyphTypeface;
if (typeface.TryGetGlyphTypeface(out glyphTypeface)) {
   using (var memoryStream = new MemoryStream()) {
       glyphTypeface.GetFontStream().CopyTo(memoryStream);
       data.Bytes = memoryStream.ToArray();
       data.IsValid = true;
   }
}

Thanks

I'm playing with 2015Q1 and export a simple text document with PDF/A-3b compliance level.

When I check the resulting pdf file, the validation service states:

Validating file "Testpdf.pdf" for conformance level pdfa-3b
  The font Helvetica must be embedded.
  The document does not conform to the requested standard.
The document contains fonts without embedded font programs or encoding information (CMAPs).Done.

How can I specify, that a standard font should be embedded?

Thanks

Hello,

I proposed to use the RadRichTextEditor to edit simple Docx documents and use the format providers to convert the docx documents to html (for sending as html e-mail).
But now I found that there is also the new WordsProcessing which can do the same conversions.
If I am right WordsProcessing does not (yet?) have an editor for visual editing. (Is that proposed? Or is the RadRichTextEditor the proposed way to go?).
For the conversion from Docx to Html, are there any pros or cons or difference in quality in using the format providers found in the RichTextEditor assembly or the WordsProcessing assemblies?
Or use they in fact the same code base?

Hello,
I have a huge CSV file (about 3.3M lines), that I had to import for filtering and processing part of it.
I've tried to looked at your CsvFormatProvider class to do the work. Unfortunately, the only possibility to work with it is to create a Workbook and the workbook is limited to about 1M lines.

Is there any possibility to have a "low-level" importing of the CSV file?
For example to import one line of data per call. The import returning an array of String.
Or do you have another solution for this problem?

I am struggling to get PNG files with transparency to import into a PDF. I have tried several different PNG files with no look. The transparent background section either comes out as black or blurred.

Please see the code I have been experimenting with below.

--------------------------------

Dim FormatProvider As New PdfFormatProvider
FormatProvider.ExportSettings.ImageQuality = ImageQuality.High
Dim Document As New RadFixedDocument
Dim Page As RadFixedPage = Document.Pages.AddPage()
Page.Size = New Size(PageWidth, PageHeight)
Editor = New FixedContentEditor(Page)

'Method 1
Editor.Position.Translate(0, 0)
Dim imageStreamSource As New FileStream("Logo1.png", FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read, FileShare.Read)
Dim decoder As New PngBitmapDecoder(imageStreamSource, BitmapCreateOptions.PreservePixelFormat, BitmapCacheOption.Default)
Dim bitmapSource As BitmapSource = decoder.Frames(0)
Editor.DrawImage(bitmapSource.ToImageSource)

'Method 2
Editor.Position.Translate(0, 200)
Using source As FileStream = File.Open("Logo2.png", FileMode.Open)
    Dim imageSource As New Resources.ImageSource(source)
    Editor.DrawImage(imageSource)
End Using

'Method 3
Editor.Position.Translate(0, 400)
Dim bitmap As New BitmapImage()
bitmap.BeginInit()
bitmap.UriSource = New Uri("Logo3.png")
bitmap.EndInit()
Editor.DrawImage(bitmap.ToImageSource)

Dim filename As String = "test.pdf"
Using DocStream As New FileStream(filename, FileMode.Create)
    FormatProvider.Export(Document, DocStream)
End Using

Any advice would be very much appreciated. I am finding the RadPDFProcessing tool extremely useful in a dynamic product brochure project i am working on but i need to be able to use transparent images. If its not possible to use a PNG file is the another file format i could import to the PDF that allows for transparency?

I need to take the RadScheduler printout for multiple schedules and create a single PDF document with a page for each schedule. I can create the loop to load the appointments for each schedule, and setup the RadPrintDocument. How can I get it from there into a PDF document,in code (vb.net).
Thanks

The code I'm trying to get away from looks through a name collection to find a specific NamedRange in a workbook.  Then, I populate the NamedRange with a value.  This is a great feature because the creator can put a named range anywhere and move it around at any point.  My code doesn't care where it is... it just populates the value.  Can you tell me what options I have with SpreadProcessing?  If an Excel Workbook has a named range can I get at it with SpreadProcessing?

Excel Code:

I need to populate a cell that I find using a Name.  I see that Name.RefersTo points to the range.  It gives me a string that looks like "=Data!$C$2".  I assume that somewhere I can get the cell from this string.  However, I haven't come across it anywhere in your documentation. 

Thanks for your help,
Joel

Hello,
I have been playing around with the Mail Merge capabilities added to WordsProcessing as part of UI for WPF Q3 2014. One issue I've found is that our current Mail Merge solution allows us to specify child tables in the merge, I have been unable to figure out a way to do this in Telerik. For example we can provide a list of customers to the merge mail where each customer has a list of items they have ordered, the mail merge allows us to create a table with the list of items for each customer. I know that this is not standard mail merge functionality but are there any plans to implement this type of merging capability in the Telerik Mail Merge? Our current Mail Merge solution causes some formatting problems which don't appear to exist using your solution so I would like to be able to recommend that we transition to a full Telerik solution as we are already rendering the results in the RadRichTextEditor but without a sub-table solution I don't think this will be possible. Thanks for your time!

I can not change fonts of some parts of the documents.
editor.InsertLine(" message")
Some pars of lines tahoma some parts of lines are Times New Roman

Thanks..
