Getting a exception error 4004 when displaying a xod file with DocumentViewer

[Gilles B]

I'm usind SilverDox for Silverlight 5.
I just modify a little bit your "StreamingSample"

            ...
            / note that user input should be filtered for security reasons
            string filePath = Server.MapPath(".") + "/ClientBin/" + Request["file"];
           
            // Test: small modification to compute the xod file from a word sample file using pdftron.PDF (from WebViewerConvert sample);
            pdftron.PDFNet.Initialize();
            pdftron.PDF.Convert.XODOutputOptions options = new pdftron.PDF.Convert.XODOutputOptions();
            options.SetOutputThumbnails(false);
            pdftron.PDF.Convert.ToXod(Server.MapPath(".") + "/ClientBin/newsletter.pdf", filePath,options);
            pdftron.PDFNet.Terminate();
            // end of modification

            // Opens a stream from a  .xod file on server.
            // Using PDFNet, an original file (e.g. a pdf file) could be converted on the fly and
            // streamed directly to the client. See the PDFNet sample "SilverDoxStreaming".
            using (FileStream fs = new FileStream(filePath, FileMode.Open))
            {
                ...
               
a "newsletter.xod" file is correctly generated (but bigger than your sample )
but i have an exception in the silverlight viewer < DocumentViewer : PDFTron.SilverDox.Controls> when the file is displayed or then i move to next/previous pages

An unhandled exception ('Unhandled Error in Silvelight Application
Code: 4004
Category: ManagedRuntimeError
Message: System.FormatException : le format de la chaîne d'entrée est incorrect  (Input string had an incorrect format)


Do you have an idea ?

Hi Gilles,

We have recently released version 6 of PDFNet and have also updated the Silverdox viewer to support XFDF annotations. Can you please try using the latest version of PDFNet with the latest Silverdox?

Hi,

I'm using the Version 6.0.0.0

I have investigate, and i found the problem, your solution (specialy the new annotations management )seems to be incompatible with the French decimal separator ( ','/comma)


stackTrace
   à System.Number.ParseDouble(String value, NumberStyles options, NumberFormatInfo numfmt)
   à System.Double.Parse(String s)
   à PDFTron.SilverDox.Documents.Annotations.XfdfManager.LoadXfdfPages(Stream xfdfPages, Document doc)
   à PDFTron.SilverDox.Documents.Annotations.AnnotationManager.LoadXfdfPages(Stream xfdfPages)
   à PDFTron.SilverDox.Controls.DocumentViewer.LoadInternalXfdfAnnotations(Int32 pageNumber)
   à PDFTron.SilverDox.Controls.DocumentViewer.


I found the 2 next workarounds :
- change the decimal separator from , (French) to . (English) in the client computer (not acceptable)
- or better, remove annotation from the XOD file (during the time you correct this)
options.SetAnnotationOutput(pdftron.PDF.Convert.XODOutputOptions.AnnotationOutputFlag.e_external_xfdf);

thanks
