Hi,
we purchased Spire.Pdf to create, parse and manipulate pdf files.
But, we also want to show the pdf in our WPF application.
I can only find documentation about Spire.PdfViewer, which is another product.
We don't want to buy 2 products for one task, so how can we view the pdf in a WPF app?
Just displaying the pdf as an image is not sufficient, as we need to select text inside the displayed pdf.
Also, it would not be efficient to generate an image from every page of the pdf when navigating through the file...
Thanks in advance

Hello,

Thanks for your inquiry.
Since the process to operate PDF file with our Spire.PDF is purely programmatic, it does not support graphical interface display. To show the PDF, you need to use our Spire.PDFViewer. Kindly note that our Spire.PDFViewer for .NET supports viewing, searching/highlighting specific text, printing and downloading PDF file in WinForm, but it doesn’t support editing/selecting text and making a copyat present. Besides, the internal principle of our Spire.PDFViewer is actually to convert the PDF file into an image firstly and then display it.

Sincerely,
Rachel
