The NavigationPane is not shown in the following example.

I "almost" follewed the description. I removed DataContext to get my pdf file rendered.

 

<Grid

<Grid.RowDefinitions> <RowDefinition Height="Auto"/> <RowDefinition Height="Auto"/> <RowDefinition/> </Grid.RowDefinitions>

 <telerik:RadPdfViewerToolBar RadPdfViewer="{Binding ElementName=pdfViewer, Mode=OneTime}"/> <Grid Grid.Row="2"> <Grid.ColumnDefinitions> <ColumnDefinition Width="Auto" /> <ColumnDefinition/> </Grid.ColumnDefinitions> <telerik:RadPdfViewerNavigationPane Grid.Column="0" RadPdfViewer="{Binding ElementName=pdfViewer, Mode=OneTime}" PaneWidth="300" /> <telerik:RadPdfViewer Grid.Column="1" x:Name="pdfViewer" DocumentSource="{Binding PdfFileName, Mode=OneWay, Converter={StaticResource PdfDocumentSourceValueConverter}, ConverterParameter=ReadOnDemand}" RenderOptions.BitmapScalingMode="NearestNeighbor"/> </Grid> </Grid>

Hello Axel,

I checked the code in a sample application and it seems to be working as expected. Can you please check the attached sample and let me know if I am missing something? Please, note that the RadPdfViewerNavigationPane is visualized only when the document opened in RadPdfViewer contains bookmarks.

Hope this is useful.

The demo works.

The document that I loaded does not contain any bookmarks.
In this case the pane seems to be invisible. This is unexpected but ok.

I expected to see page thumbnails in this case. Wrong expectation as well.
I found the page thumbnails example and will check it out.

Hi Alex,

RadPdfViewerNavigationPane is responsible for visualizing the bookmarks only. The thumbnails functionality should be explicitly added to PdfViewer as shown in the example and is not enabled by default. I agree that the documentation on the matter could be misleading and logged a task for the team to update it.

Hope this is helpful.

No answers yet. Maybe you can help?
