We need to implement this feature in both Xamarin Android(supports version 8 to 12) and in iOS( 12 and above) and it is an offline app.we have a print option for an assessment report,currently when we save that pdf file it is saving it in the default location(i.e local storage),Now we want to save that pdf inside the Application storage,so that when we delete the app,the saved reports will also be deleted.

Hello,

The Save as PDF in Print option cannot be disabled on both Android and iOS, because on these platforms, when you open a PDF file, it will open it through WebView or other PDF viewer app instead of your app to view and manipulate it.

Therefore, any settings you set in the app do not affect the PDF viewer's print options.

Best Regards,

Alec Liu.
