Overview
The WPF PDF Viewer control allows users to view, review, and print PDF files in WPF applications. The thumbnail, bookmark, hyperlink, and table of contents support provide easy navigation within and outside the PDF files. The form-filling support provides a platform to fill, flatten, save, and print PDF files with AcroForm. The PDF files can be reviewed with the annotation tools.
High performance
Instant loading
Load PDF files with thousands of pages instantly.
Less runtime memory
On-demand loading and virtualization mean the control holds only the minimum required pages at runtime to reduce memory consumption.
Virtualized pages
Render pages on demand to help reduce initial load time when working with large documents.
MVVM support
The WPF PDF Viewer is designed to support the MVVM (model-view-viewmodel) pattern. All operations can be performed using commands, and all the property values are exposed as dependency properties.
Built-in toolbar
The WPF PDF Viewer comes with a powerful, built-in toolbar for executing important actions such as page navigation, text search, view mode, printing, and various annotation tasks. Users can also design their own toolbars using PDF Viewer APIs.
Open PDF files
Open and display PDF files, both normal and protected, with AES and RC4 encryption algorithms (password-protected). Open PDF files from stream, file path, and PdfLoadedDocument objects.
Select and copy text
The WPF PDF Viewer allows users to select the text in a PDF document and copy it to the clipboard. This is helpful for sharing text content with others.
Search text
Locate all occurrences of a given text and navigate through them easily.
Navigation
The WPF PDF Viewer supports many types of internal and external navigation.
Bookmark navigation
Bookmarks saved in PDF files are loaded and made ready for easy navigation.
Thumbnail navigation
Thumbnails are the miniature representations of actual pages in PDF files. This feature displays the thumbnails of the pages of a PDF file and allows navigation.
Hyperlink navigation
The hyperlink navigation feature enables navigation to the URLs (website links) in WPF PDF files.
Table of contents navigation
Table of contents navigation allows users to navigate to different parts of a PDF file listed in the table of contents section.
Print PDF files
The WPF PDF Viewer supports printing a PDF file loaded in it. It supports two types of printing.
Print using print dialog
In the print dialog, select the destination printer, number of copies, and other details to print PDF files.
Silent batch printing
Print PDF files without user interaction continuously. This allows users to batch print multiple PDF files in WPF.
Review or annotate PDF files
Review PDF files using a rich set of annotating tools in the WPF PDF Viewer.
Handwritten signatures
Include handwritten signatures in PDF files. Users can customize the color, position, and size of the signatures.
PDF form filling
PDF forms help automate data collection and processing. The Syncfusion WPF PDF Viewer provides the ability to fill, edit, flatten, and save AcroForms fields in PDF files.
Organize pages
Rotate, rearrange, and delete pages in a PDF file using a miniature preview of the PDF pages.
PDF layers
WPF PDF layers allow dynamic toggling of the visibility of content in pages of a PDF file. Layers can have all the content that a PDF page has. Display layer contents (add, modify, or delete annotations) over the layers and add, modify, or delete layers in a PDF file.
Customization
Toolbar customization
Create a custom toolbar with any of the options that can be performed using the built-in toolbar.
Applying themes
Customize the appearance of the PDF Viewer with various themes using Theme Studio.
