How do I programmatically create a PdfView?

To programmatically create a PdfView:

  1. Initialize the SDK.
  2. Create a PdfView object in the OnNavigatedTo handler of the Page.
  3. Add a handler for PdfView.InitializationCompletedHandler.
  4. Add the PdfView to the children of a UI element on the Page.

Once initialization is complete, you can display a PDF:

namespace App1
{
    public sealed partial class MainPage : Page
    {
        public MainPage()
        {
            this.InitializeComponent();
            PSPDFKit.Sdk.Initialize("YOUR_LICENSE_GOES_HERE");
        }


        private PdfView _pdfView;


        protected override void OnNavigatedTo(NavigationEventArgs e)
        {
            _pdfView = new PdfView();
            _pdfView.InitializationCompletedHandler += PdfView_InitializationCompletedHandler;
            Grid.Children.Add(_pdfView);
        }


        private async void PdfView_InitializationCompletedHandler(PdfView sender, PSPDFKit.Pdf.Document args)
        {
            var storageFile = await StorageFile.GetFileFromApplicationUriAsync(new Uri("ms-appx:///Assets/A.pdf"));
            _pdfView.PdfFileSource = storageFile;
        }
    }
}
