Hi,
I am getting an unsupported exception when converting a pdf document into a RadDocument. Here is the setup I am currently using.
1. Pdf file is embeded in XAP and I would like to show it in Silverlight (or show the generic 'Open', 'Save' and 'Cancel' dialog, which I have realized is not possible with a file embedded in the XAP).
2. Using Application.GetResourceStream to get to the stream. (I have checked the stream and it looks fine with lots of bytes... :))
3. Using DocumentFormatProvidersManager.GetProviderByExtension(extension)n to get the IDocumentFormatProvider.
4. I get the right format provider which is pdf.
5. on doing provider.Import(stream) i get a NotSupportedException.
6. I have referenced all the dlls from telerik for silverlight (just being safe, this is a test app only anyway).
Any help is appreciated.
And it would be great if anyone out there knows how to show the generic 'Open', 'Save' and 'Cancel' dialog of a browser for a file in the silverlight xap (NOT with a http url)
Thanks in advance

Hello NrupalC,
PDF importing/visualization is not supported for now. It's in our to-do list, but we don't have specific timeline.
Let us know if you have any other questions or proposals.

Hello Tim Tos,
We are already considering implementing a PDF viewer for Silverlight, however, due to time constraints, we're not sure exactly when it will be available.
I am creating a PITS issue regarding this item, which you can use to track our development plans:
