Save PDFs to a remote server in UWP

Saving a local document to a server is a straightforward process with Nutrient UWP SDK. This is achievable by programmatically exporting the document and then sending it to its remote destination.

The example below uses Microsoft’s HttpClient(opens in a new tab) for demonstration purposes, though the general idea should be easy to adapt to whatever solution you choose to use:

var storageFile = PDFView.Document?.DocumentSource.GetFile()

using (var fileStream = await storageFile.OpenReadAsync())
{
    using (var client = new HttpClient())
    {
        var contentStream = new HttpStreamContent(fileStream);
        var response = await client.PostAsync(address, contentStream);
    }
}
