PDF document sample

Shows how to load and display Portable Document Format (PDF) documents.

Note: This sample is part of a large collection of UWP feature samples. You can download this sample as a standalone ZIP file from docs.microsoft.com, or you can download the entire collection as a single ZIP file, but be sure to unzip everything to access shared dependencies. For more info on working with the ZIP file, the samples collection, and GitHub, see Get the UWP samples from GitHub. For more samples, see the Samples portal on the Windows Dev Center.

The sample shows the following techniques:

  • Loading a PDF document (possibly with a password).
  • Showing a full page from a document.
  • Showing a page from a document at a reduced size.
  • Showing a page from a document with a custom background color.
  • Showing a rectangular portion of a page of a document.

Note The Windows universal samples require Visual Studio to build and Windows 10 to execute.

To obtain information about Windows 10 development, go to the Windows Dev Center
