Depending on your needs you can use a WebView2 control to show PDF. Disclaimer: I only checked on Desktop. MainPage.xaml <Grid utu:SafeArea.Insets="VisibleBounds">
<WebView2 x:Name="PdfWebView"
HorizontalAlignment="Stretch"
VerticalAlignment="Stretch" />
</Grid>MainPage.xaml.cs private async Task MainPage_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
await PdfWebView.EnsureCoreWebView2Async();
ShowPdf("yourFilePath.pdf");
}
private async void ShowPdf(string pathPdf)
{
if (!File.Exists(pathPdf))
{
return;
}
byte[] pdfBytes = File.ReadAllBytes(pathPdf);
string base64 = Convert.ToBase64String(pdfBytes);
string dataUrl = "data:application/pdf;base64," + base64;
string html = $"<html><body style='margin:0;'><embed src=\"{dataUrl}\" width=\"100%\" height=\"100%\" /></body></html>";
PdfWebView.NavigateToString(html);
}
