Instant loading
Load PDF files with thousands of pages instantly with accuracy and reliability.
Less runtime memory
Lazy loading and virtualization render only the minimum required pages at runtime to reduce memory consumption.
Virtualized page rendering
Render pages on demand to help reduce initial load time when working with large documents.
Password-protected PDFs
Load and view password-protected PDFs in a hassle-free way. You can design a custom password request view and integrate the functionality easily with the options available.
Print PDF files
Print PDF files with all the annotations and form data intact. This feature ensures that any comments, highlights, or form entries on the PDF are preserved and included in the printed version, maintaining the integrity of the document.
Magnification
The content of a PDF document can be zoomed in and out by pinching or changing the zoom factor programmatically.
Pinch-to-zoom
Smoothly zoom in and out of a document by pinching the screen on touch devices. This lets users quickly adjust their document’s zoom level without interrupting the workflow.
Smart zoom
Double-tap on a page to zoom into a region instantly and double-tap again to zoom back out. This is a quick and effortless way to explore content at your own pace.
Restrict zoom factor
Zoom capabilities can be managed by refining the minimum and maximum zoom factors, thereby confining the extent of zooming within predefined limits. This strategic adjustment ensures that the magnification levels remain tailored to the specific requirements of the task at hand.
Navigation
The .NET MAUI PDF Viewer supports internal and external navigation. This enhances the document-viewing experience.
Page navigation
Navigate to desired pages instantly using the page navigation option programmatically or by dragging the scroll head in the UI.
Document link navigation
Navigate to the desired topic or position through document link annotations (tables of contents) in a PDF document.
Document outline navigation
Display a document’s hierarchical list of headings and subheadings. Use them to navigate quickly through the different parts of the document. Users can also add custom bookmarks dynamically. Custom bookmarks can be renamed, deleted, and saved to the PDF file.
Hyperlink navigation
The .NET MAUI PDF Viewer allows users to open URLs or website links in the default browser. When a user taps or clicks a hyperlink on a PDF page, the hyperlink will open the URL in a browser.
Single page layout mode
View PDF pages one by one horizontally. This mode provides a focused view, allowing readers to concentrate on one page at a time without distractions.
Page zoom modes
View PDF files in different page zoom modes, such as fit-width and fit-page. Fit-page ensures that users can see the entire page content to get a quick overview without having to scroll. Fit-width is helpful when reading documents with narrow columns, such as newspaper articles or other multicolumn layouts.
Search text
The .NET MAUI PDF Viewer allows users to search for a piece of text in a PDF document and navigate to all its occurrences. This method asynchronously searches for the specified text throughout the PDF document and highlights each match.
Select and copy text
Select the text you want to share and copy it to your clipboard. Then, right-click the text and choose the ‘Copy’ option, or use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+C. You can paste the copied content into another application or document, facilitating easy sharing and collaboration.
Annotations
Enhance your PDF editing experience. Utilize a comprehensive suite of advanced annotating tools to review, annotate, and mark up PDF files.
Form filling
The .NET MAUI PDF Viewer allows users to fill, edit, flatten, save, export, and import AcroForm field data in a PDF document. This feature can be used for filling out job applications, registration forms, medical forms, etc.
Right-to-left (RTL) rendering
The .NET MAUI PDF Viewer allows users to change the user interface to display from right to left. This will make sure that text and elements flow naturally for right-to-left languages.
Localization
The process of localizing involves converting application resources into a different language for the target culture. All static text within the PDF Viewer can be localized to any supported language.
