Hi Kranthi,
Thanks for your update.

It is not possible to trigger both open file picker and save file picker in a single button click event and it is a windows limitation. So we have created a sample with two buttons to open and save, Please find the sample available in the link below,

I am getting this error while stamping a pdf in winrt app, am i doing anything wrong ? Error Link

[Karthik Krishnaraj]

Hi Kranthi,

We are glad to inform you that rotation support is added in Essential PDF for WinRT platform in the upcoming release, which is expected to be rolled out within end of this week. Please let us know if you have any other queries.

Thanks,

Karthik.

[kranthi kumar]

I asked about PDF stamping issue but u gave me reply regarding pdf rotation ?

[Karthik Krishnaraj]

Hi Kranthi,
Thank you for your update,
As per your error snapshot which shows “System.NotImplementedException”, while rotating the text .We used to throw this error message manually, since we have not provided support for rotation of text until the last release(13.1.0.21). Whereas now we have implemented rotation support for winRT platform in upcoming release which is expected to be rolled out within end of the week. If you do not want to rotate the text then you can remove the highlighted code used for rotation.  I have attached a code snippet and a simple sample for your reference below, please have a look through it and let us know if you need any further assistance.

Code Snippet:

PdfGraphics g = lPage.Graphics;

PdfGraphicsState state = g.Save();

g.SetTransparency(0.25f);

g.RotateTransform(-40); //Rotation of text not implemented yet.
g.DrawString("Imported using Essential PDF", font, PdfPens.Red, PdfBrushes.Red, new PointF(50,g.ClientSize.Height/2));

As you said i downloaded the latest version of essential studio, i uninstalled the previous version & to my surprise during the uninstall procedure of previous essential studio version all of my Documents folder got wiped out for no good reason!! , how ridiculous is this! , don't u test your products prior to their release??, i am using windows 8.1 pro 64 bit.

[Manivannan Sundararajan]

Hi Kranthi,

We deeply regret for the inconvenience caused.

If you have installed the Binaries or Samples in Documents folder directly, while uninstalling the setup, immediate root folder will be removed.

We have logged this issue and we will create the parent folder with Syncfusion Version under your root directory. Also it will be included in our upcoming 2015 Vol 2 Service Pack 1 release.

As of now, if you install the setup in Documents or any root directory, please create a subfolder under the root directory and then install the Syncfusion Essential Studio setup.

Please let us know if you need any further assistance on this.

Regards,
Manivannan S.
