Examples
The following example overrides the default PdfIntegrationProvider to create a custom Integration Provider which uses Uniscribe, allowing for complex text layouts and scripts, like Arabic and Thai.
C#
Copy
using System;
using System.Web;

using RadPdf.Integration;

public class CustomPdfIntegrationProvider : PdfIntegrationProvider
{
    public CustomPdfIntegrationProvider() : base()
    {
        // Enable Uniscribe
        this.AdvancedSettings.UseUniscribe = true;
    }
}
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.
