Garbled text when drawing into DC from PXC_GetContentDC()

[gregpryor]

I'm using the viewer dll to draw a page from a pdf into a DC obtained from PXC_GetContentDC().
All was well up to (and including) version 2.0.42.2 of pxcview.dll.
However, when using version 2.0.44.0 or 2.0.46.0 much of the text is not recognizable as text anymore.
I'm using PXV_CommonRenderParameters.Flags = pxvrpf_UseVectorRenderer and RenderTarget = pxvrm_Printing.
I've tried some of the other flags/targets but nothing improved the result.

I've attached a zip containing pdfs produced by 2.0.42.2 and 2.0.44.0

Please send (or attach there) the original PDF file which you are drawing using the pxcview.dll ..

thanks

Here you go.

The Problem is that your document uses embedded fonts, which are in many cases drawn as curves (at least for now).

However even we are able to draw text using the font embedded in the pdf as text you will not get correct text when select it and copy - this is because character codes are lost during this operation.

A Much better option for your case - do not use PXC_GetContentDC and pxcview.dll to draw page content into this DC, but use the PXCp_PlaceContents functions to combine two PDF files.
