PDFs not being rendered correctly in HTML

I have several examples of PDFs that are not rendering correctly in HTML. Is this something that you can test on your end and get back to me? We’re simply having the groupdocs API extract the HTML and sticking it in a div on a page.

@JonDosmann,

Thanks for using GroupDocs.Viewer for .NET.

Can you please tell us the version of GroupDocs.Viewer for .NET you are using at your end? We shall be looking forward to your response.

Warm Regards

@JonDosmann


Thanks for providing the version number.

We have successfully reproduced your reported issue at our end. It has been logged into our issue tracking system with ID:VIEWERNET-1256. We will further perform the investigation and in case of any further updates, we’ll keep you informed.

Warm Regards

Much appreciated. I’ll pass that on to the team here. I know they paid quite a bit (for us) for this product so they’ll be excited to hear it’s being addressed.

Anticipating there next questions, I’ll just ask now.
Is there a time frame I can expect a patch for this? **Big one. We’re moving our product into full production soon and if we can’t rely on GroupDocs we’ll need to begin searching for alternatives.
Will it be deployed in the form of a new version for everyone or will we be getting a custom build?
Is there a work around in the mean time? Some setting that we can inform our content creators to use on PDFs that will prevent the issues from occurring?
You provided a tracking ID: ID:VIEWERNET-1256. Is there a place I can use that tracking ID to view progress? Is it merely for further updates? Will I be updated in this thread by the product team or via e-mail?

Currently, we are unable to promise any time frame for the fix of this issue until the investigation is not completed. Furthermore, the ETA for the fix depends upon the nature and complexity of the issue.

Will it be deployed in the form of a new version for everyone or will we be getting a custom build?

Yes, the fixes are usually provided in the regular monthly releases of the API. However, if you have purchased the Priority Support, you can request for the hot-fix to get the custom build outside the normal release schedule after the issue is resolved.

Is there a work around in the mean time? Some setting that we can inform our content creators to use on PDFs that will prevent the issues from occurring?

In case we find any work around for this issue, we’ll surely share that with you without any further delay.

You can view the status of the issue in the LHS panel of the first post in this thread (as shown in this screenshot). We’ll also be in touch with you and share the updates with you via this forum thread.

In case you would have any other questions or queries, please do let us know.
