	PdfDataContext context
)

Remarks

If this method is overridden in an inheriting class, do not call this base method.

This method is not triggered by Append(Byte) or similar overloads.

Examples
The following example uses a PdfIntegrationProvider to create a custom Integration Provider which will set NeedAppearances to true for all documents as they are saved.
C#
Copy
using System;
using System.Web;

using RadPdf.Integration;

public class CustomPdfIntegrationProvider : PdfIntegrationProvider
{
    public override void OnDocumentSaving(DocumentSavingEventArgs e)
    {
        base.OnDocumentSaving(e);

        // Set that a PDF reader should construct the appearance for
        // form fields in the document.
        e.Document.Fields.NeedAppearances = true;
    }
}
The following Program.cs file registers the above custom Integration Provider. This example assumes that CustomPdfIntegrationProvider is in namespace referenced by your ASP.NET web application.
C#
Copy
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Builder;
using Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection;
using Microsoft.Extensions.Hosting;

using RadPdf;

var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args);

// Add services to the container.
builder.Services.AddRazorPages();
builder.Services.AddSession();

var app = builder.Build();

app.UseStaticFiles();

app.UseRouting();

app.UseSession();

app.UseAuthorization();

// Or however you normally process page requests
app.MapRazorPages();

// Create middleware settings
RadPdfCoreMiddlewareSettings settings = new RadPdfCoreMiddlewareSettings()
{
    // Add SQL Server Connection String, if not using Lite Documents
    // Sample connection string below connects to a SQL Server Express instance on localhost
    // TrustServerCertificate=True is set to avoid a trust exception (e.g. "The certificate chain was issued by an authority that is not trusted.")
    // ConnectionString = @"Server=.\SQLExpress;Database=RadPdf;Trusted_Connection=Yes;TrustServerCertificate=True;",

    // Add License Key
    LicenseKey = "DEMO",

    // Attach the Integration Provider
    IntegrationProvider = new CustomPdfIntegrationProvider()

    // To run RAD PDF without the System Service, add UseService = false
    // If using Lite Documents without the System Service, a LiteStorageProvider must also be implemented
    //UseService = false
};

// Add RAD PDF's middleware to app
app.UseRadPdf(settings);

app.Run();
The following .cshtml and code behind files use the the client API to allow server side provided images to be added to a document.
