Cannot load a PDF document from file.

[Christie Admin]

Hi,

I'm using the latest version of Telerik and I have a problem opening a PDF file. I created a USerControl which containe a RadPdfViewer and I am unable to load a document PDF file from disk.

Here is the piece of code I use to load my document:

            PdfDocumentSource doc = new PdfDocumentSource(new System.Uri(@"d:\document.pdf"));
            this.Viewer.Document = doc.Document;

The "doc.Document" are always null?!?

Thank's
Alain

Hello Alain,

Thank you for contacting us. 

For viewing a file in PdfViewer you should set the DocumentSouce property. For more information you may follow this link to showing a file in PdfViewer documentation article.

I hope this is helpful. If you have any other questions or concerns please do not hesitate to contact us again.

Regards,

Hi Deyan,

If I use the Office2013 theme, do I have to include special resources in my xaml???

Thank's

Hi Alain,

In order to use RadPdfViewer with implicit styles, as the Office2013 theme is available only for NoXAML assemblies, you should merge all the necessary resource dictionaries in an appropriate place in your application (e.g. App.xaml file). For RadPdfViewer, the resource dictionaries which should be merged are:

• System.Windows.xaml (necessary for some of the native MS controls)
• Telerik.Windows.Controls.xaml
• Telerik.Windows.Controls.Input.xaml
• Telerik.Windows.Controls.Navigtion.xaml (if you are using the RadToolBar in your application)
• Telerik.Windows.Controls.FixedDocumentViewers.xaml
• Telerik.Windows.Controls.FixedDocumentViewersUI.xaml

I hope this helps.
