Examples
The following example overrides the default PdfIntegrationProvider to create a custom Integration Provider for use with ProcessObjectDataRequest in a web application.
C#
Copy
using System;
using System.Web;

using RadPdf.Data.Document.Objects.Shapes;
using RadPdf.Integration;

public class CustomPdfIntegrationProvider : PdfIntegrationProvider
{
        public override void ProcessAppendDataRequest(PdfDataContext context)
        {
            switch (context.Request.DataKey)
            {
                case "my_key":
                    //Write a file to the response
                    //Alternatively, we could also use the .Write method to write data from almost any source (e.g. database, memory, generated on the file)
                    context.Response.WriteFile(@"C:\file_to_append.pdf");
                    break;
            }
        }
}
The following web.config file registers the above custom Integration Provider. This example assumes that CustomPdfIntegrationProvider is in the directory App_Code of your ASP.NET web application.

            byte[] pdfData = System.IO.File.ReadAllBytes(@"C:\demo.pdf");

            //Load PDF byte array into RAD PDF
            this.PdfWebControl1.CreateDocument("Document Name", pdfData);
        }
