I agree it would be better if we would't need to do it in a webview and still in a free way but a solution is better than none at all so i think its great you sharing it :) Thanks Gerald as always ;)
I'm not sure but I think PDF is licensed technology? And at the very least very hard to implement? So that is why no one is giving it away for free on mobile? It's about the only control that does not have a free version. Very interesting 🤨
@@jfversluis We use AbcPdf in an actual Web Page, maybe we can use it for .Net Maui. Hopefully without a hack, we rolled our own Audio Stream class to avoid a webview already.
Since my app needs minimum API 23 I am very happy with the feedback of not going higher than version v3.11.174 In that one, I only see the 'Web' folder and no 'Build' folder. I do have the viewer present, so it works half? What folders are essentials in the 3.11.174 version to include as MauiAsset? Also how do you disable the controls?
Excellent. Pdf shows up fine, but I can not enter any text on the text boxes (i.e. no live text boxes), while I can enter text when opening separately on Preview. How can I make it similar to Previwe? I am using Visual Studio for Mac.
I tried it and in ios it is working fine when loading from the bundle but not working when loading from document directory. The issue is only on the physical device. working in ios simulator. Any help please.
Hello Sir, I really like the way you explain the things. I just want to know is there any library to view html content as pdf viewer in .Net Maui, just like Forms9Patch in xamarin forms?
@@jfversluiscompressed/packed or unpacked? I'm only interested in the latter, because that's what ends up in the app (although it might get somewhat compressed again during packaging). Version 4.0x shows me 16MB on disk when unpacked in the Resources\Raw folder
@@jewerspOh huh! you're right! Sorry, I must've remembered wrong. I do see there is a PDF file in there that is probably not needed. Saves another meg!
@@jfversluis Yes, but the rest is made up by the uncompressed JavaScript and the graphics for the PDF viewer controls, so even removing that 1MB still leads to a large app size.
@@jfversluis ok.. i mean that !! we always scan documents like id card or any other doc. from hard copy (print papers) as a pdf format using scanning mobile apps. right? but my questions is.. i wanna create a iOS and android apps that will work also scan desktop screen (invoice) and when i read a book on computer screen or iPad, one page is most important i need to scan that page. if possible link some useful help. thanks
Hey @Gerald , Is it possible to load the token protected pdf url inside our maui application. I'm facing a problem showing the pdf inside webview as it shows the Token required every time and when I pass the token inside the header of the webview it doesn't work. Help me out.
@@jfversluis Thanks for the fast answer. My pdf is a multipage pdf. The pdf is shown in the webview but only for the size of the webview. The pdf is cut off and I can't scroll it. Do you have any ideas?
Showing PDF files is one thing, but creating them??? Man, that was one pain in the back to do it for free 😭 I eventually got PdfSharpCore to work but it wasn't easy with it having trimming tags meant for much older .NET versions
