Introduction

ComPDFKit PDF SDK is a robust PDF library, which offers comprehensive functions for quickly viewing, annotating, editing, and signing PDFs. It is feature-rich and battle-tested, making PDF files process and manipulation easier and faster.

ComPDFKit for Windows allows you to quickly add PDF functions to any Windows application, elevating your Window programs to ensure efficient development. It is available at Nuget and github.com.

Get Started

It is easy to embed ComPDFKit PDF SDK in your Windows application with a few lines of C# code. The following sections introduce the requirements, the structure of the installation package, and how to make a Windows PDF Reader in C# with ComPDFKit PDF SDK. Take just a few minutes and get started.

Requirements

Windows 7, 8, 10, and 11 (32-bit and 64-bit).
Visual Studio 2017 or higher (Make sure the .NET Desktop Development is installed).
.NET Framework 4.5 or higher.

How to Run a Demo

ComPDFKit PDF SDK for Windows provides multiple demos in C# for developers to learn how to call the SDK on Windows. You can find them in the "Examples" folder.

In this guide, we take "PDFViewer" as an example to show how to run it in Visual Studio 2022.

Copy your "license_key_windows.txt" to the "Examples" folder (The file is the license to make your project run).
Find "Examples.sln" in the "Examples" folder and open it in Visual Studio 2022.

Select "PDFViewer" and right-click to set it as a startup project.

Run the project and then you can open the multifunctional "PDFViewer" demo.

Note: This is a demo project, presenting completed ComPDFKit PDF SDK functions. The functions might be different based on the license you have purchased. Please check that the functions you choose work fine in this demo project.

How to Make a Windows Program in C

Create a New Project

Open Visual Studio 2022, and click Create a new project.

Choose WPF App (.NET Framework) and click Next.

Configure your project: Set your project name and choose the location to store your program. The project name is called "ComPDFKit Demo" in this example. This sample project uses .NET Framework 4.6.1 as the programming framework.

Click the Create button. Then, the new project will be created.

Add ComPDFKit to Your Project

There are two ways to add ComPDFKit to your Project: Nuget Repository and Local Package, you can choose one or the other according to your needs.

Nuget Repository

Open your project's solution, and in the Solution Explorer, right-click on References and click on the menu item Manage NuGet Packages. This will open the NuGet Package Manager for your solution.

Go to ComPDFKit.NetFramework in Nuget, and click on the Install button to install the package.

Once that is complete, you'll see a reference to the package in the Solution Explorer under References.

Local Package

Rather than targeting a package held at Nuget, you may set up a configuration to point to a local package. This can be useful for some situations, for example, your build machines don't have access to the internet.

You can find "ComPDFKit.NetFramework....nupkg" file in the SDK Package
Create or edit a "nuget.config" file in the same directory as your solution file (e.g. "ComPDFKit Demo.sln").

The contents of the file should contain an XML element, packageSources - which describes where to find NuGet packages - as a child of a root node named configuration. If the file already exists, add the extra packageSources entry shown below. If the file is blank, copy and paste the entirety of the following contents:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
    <packageSources>
        <add key="ComPDFKitSource" value="path\to\directoryContainingNupkg" />
    </packageSources>
</configuration>

Edit the value of the contents to correctly refer to the location of the directory containing the "ComPDFKit.NetFramework....nupkg" package - for example, C:\Users\me\nugetPackages. Now save the file, and close and reopen your solution for Visual Studio to force a read of the NuGet configuration.

Open your project's solution, and in the Solution Explorer, right-click on References and click on the menu item Manage NuGet Packages…. This will open the NuGet Package Manager for your solution.

On the right-hand side of the manager in the Package source dropdown window, choose the entry ComPDFKitSource (or whatever you decided to name it). You should then see the entry for "ComPDFKit.NetFramework".

On the right side, in the panel describing the package, click on the Install button to install the package.

Once that's complete, you'll see a reference to the package in the Solution Explorer under References.

Apply the License Key

You can contact ComPDFKit team to get a trial license. Before using any ComPDFKit PDF SDK classes, a required operation is to set the license key. Add the following method - LicenseVerify() to "MainWindow.xaml.cs".

bool LicenseVerify()
{
    if (!CPDFSDKVerifier.LoadNativeLibrary())
        return false;

    LicenseErrorCode verifyResult = CPDFSDKVerifier.LicenseVerify("input your license here");
    return (verifyResult == LicenseErrorCode.E_LICENSE_SUCCESS);
}

Display a PDF Document

We have finished all prepare steps. Let's display a PDF file.

Add the following code to "MainWindow.xaml" and "MainWindow.xaml.cs" to display a PDF document. Please make sure to replace "ComPDFKit_Demo" with the name of your project. Now, all you need to do is to create a CPDFViewer object, and then display the CPDFViewer object in the Grid (component) named "PDFGrid" using the OpenPDF_Click method.
Now your "MainWindow.xaml" should look like the following code.

<Window x:Class="ComPDFKit_Demo.MainWindow"
        xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
        xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
        xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"
        xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"
        xmlns:local="clr-namespace:ComPDFKit_Demo"
        mc:Ignorable="d"
        Title="MainWindow" Height="450" Width="800" UseLayoutRounding="True">
    <Grid>
        <Grid.RowDefinitions>
            <RowDefinition Height="*"/>
            <RowDefinition Height="52"/>
        </Grid.RowDefinitions>
        <Grid Name="PDFGrid" Grid.Row="0" />
        <Button Content="Open PDF" Grid.Row="1" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="10" Click="OpenPDF_Click"/>
    </Grid>
</Window>

Now your “MainWindow.xaml.cs” should look like the following code. Please note: You need to enter your license key. All the places that need to be modified in the code have been marked with comments in the code below. You just need to replace the string content below the comments by yourself.

using ComPDFKit.NativeMethod;
using ComPDFKit.PDFDocument;
using ComPDFKitViewer.PdfViewer;
using Microsoft.Win32;
using System.Windows;

namespace ComPDFKit_Demo
{
	public partial class MainWindow : Window
    {
        public MainWindow()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
            LicenseVerify();
        }
        
        bool LicenseVerify()
        {
            if (!CPDFSDKVerifier.LoadNativeLibrary())
        		return false;

    		LicenseErrorCode verifyResult = CPDFSDKVerifier.LicenseVerify("input your license here");
    		return (verifyResult == LicenseErrorCode.E_LICENSE_SUCCESS);
        }

        private void OpenPDF_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
        {
            // Get the path of a PDF file.
            var dlg = new OpenFileDialog();
            dlg.Filter = "PDF Files (*.pdf)|*.pdf";
            if (dlg.ShowDialog() == true)
            {
                // Use the PDF file path to open the document in CPDFViewer.
                CPDFViewer pdfViewer = new CPDFViewer();
                pdfViewer.InitDocument(dlg.FileName);
                if (pdfViewer.Document != null &&
                    pdfViewer.Document.ErrorType == CPDFDocumentError.CPDFDocumentErrorSuccess)
                {
                    pdfViewer.Load();
                    PDFGrid.Children.Add(pdfViewer);
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

Now run the project and you will see the PDF file that you want to display. The PDF Viewer has been created successfully.

Troubleshooting

License Verification Failed
If "System.IO.FileNotFoundException" occurred in the LicenseVerify() function like this:

Check your WPF project and ensure that you chose WPF App(.NET Framework) instead of WPF Application when creating the project.

Other Problems
