     Hello,

    I have an issue with reading PDF files. If I change BuildAction property via VisualStudio from none to resource it works but if I keep none it doesn't work. The PDF files are dynamically added to the folder by the user. Is there a way to solve this problem, I mean a way to read the PDF files without changing the BuildAction property  ?

     

    Thanks in advance.

    <telerik:RadPdfViewer Grid.Row="1" x:Name="pdfViewer" DataContext="{Binding ElementName=pdfViewer, Path=CommandDescriptors}">

    this.pdfViewer.DocumentSource = new PdfDocumentSource(new Uri("MyProject;component/Contenu/PDF/Facture.pdf", UriKind.Relative));

    Hi Dridi,

    This syntax will work only if the document is embedded in the project as a Resource. This option embeds the file into the application and makes it accessible for it.

    In order to show the dynamically added documents, you could read the files using the .NET API, import the document with the PdfFormatProvider and then pass it to the PdfDocumentSource. More information and examples about how to import files you can find in our documentation.

    Hope this helps.
