How to include PDF Viewer in WPF Application

Question

Hi

I have to include the pdf viewer in my wpf application.

1. It should have ability to navigate to other pages of pdf.
2. It should should pdf in fullscreen mode.

Currently i found no support in wpf . Please help in this case.

Answer 1

There is no builtin support. You will need a third party library. Google for options.

Answer 2

You can use Windows.Data.Pdf

(I posted samples in C#/WPF with my main account, which seems to have problems...)

Answer 3

Hi,@Vishal2 Bansal. Welcome to Microsoft Q&A. 

Set the WPF program to borderless full screen, then use WebBrowser to load the PDF, and finally set the PDF reader to a reader with navigation function.

Set the Wpf program to borderless full screen.

    public partial class MainWindow : Window

    {

        public MainWindow()

        {

            InitializeComponent();

            this.WindowStyle = WindowStyle.None;

            this.WindowState = WindowState.Maximized;

            this.ResizeMode = ResizeMode.NoResize;

        }      

    }

Loading Pdf using WebBrowser.

<WebBrowser x:Name="MyBrowser" ></WebBrowser>

string url = "The path to your PDF";  

MyBrowser.Navigate(url);
