PDF Viewer - Email

[cmarsh]

Is there a way to enable an email button on the Viewer control? A client of ours was asking.

Thank you!

Hello Chris,

If I understand you correctly you need to implement a button that sends emails with the PDF document attached. Is that correct?

By design, the PDFViewer is a component whose purpose is to display a PDF document. Sending emails is a completely different functionality and it is up to the developer how to handle such a scenario.

What I can recommend is to create a custom command that sends the email. The PdfViewerToolBarCustomTool configuration allows you to define a custom button. You can hook up for the click event of this button and execute a logic that sends the email. 

Although such implementation would fall beyond the support scope of the Telerik UI products, I've made research about how to implement an email-sender in a Blazor app, please review the following resources:

I hope this information helps.
