UI for Blazor
Create, import and export PDF documents using C# and VB.NET with PdfProcessing for Blazor. This Blazor PDF library supports .NET Framework, .NET Core and .NET Standard. The API offers two editing methods—one working with native PDF elements, allowing you great control over the layout, and one enabling you to edit the PDF document as a flow document. The document model is entirely independent from UI and allows you to generate sleek documents with differently formatted text, images, shapes and more.
The Telerik PdfProcessing library for Blazor offers unparalleled performance and optimal memory usage—it decodes images on demand, compresses content with FlateDecode encryption to reduce its size and embeds font subsets by including only the frequently used glyphs.

Form XObjects enable you to reuse recurrent objects throughout a PDF document in order to reduce its size. You can add text, images, vector elements and more to a composite object and reference it multiple times.
Leverage textboxes, radio-buttons, listboxes and similar controls to make the PDF document interactive. In this way you enable your user to fill and edit data in the PDF document. Once the users fill the required data, you can also flatten the forms. The form field flattening feature removes all fields but preserves their content in the document to disallow further modifications.

Bookmarks link to a particular page or section of a PDF document to allow users to quickly jump to that portion of the file. You can easily name and organize bookmarks in a hierarchical structure, providing a listing of the file’s contents.
Associate an object with a location within the PDF document to provide users with an interactive point. The Telerik PDF library for Blazor supports two types of annotations—link and widget annotations. Use link annotations to link a destination elsewhere in the document or trigger an external URL action. Use widget annotations to define the visual appearance of and manage user interactions within the interactive form fields of the PDF document.
Destinations can be associated with outline items, annotations or actions in a PDF document. The destination specifies the document view when the outline is open or the action is performed. To reuse a destination, simply create it as a named destination.
