PdfToolbarItems inherit from ButtonToolbarItem except PdfViewerNavigateToPageToolbarItem.

All properties applicable for ToolbarItem are available for the PDF Viewer PdfViewerNavigateToPageToolbarItem. All properties applicable for ButtonToolbarItem are available for all PDF Viewer toolbar items except PdfViewerNavigateToPageToolbarItem.

The following example demonstrates how to use the Toolbar and its predefined items:

1. Use the following snippet to define the RadPdfViewer and RadPdfToolbar:

• XAML

<Grid RowDefinitions="{OnIdiom Desktop='Auto, *', Phone='*, Auto'}">
    <telerik:RadPdfViewerToolbar Grid.Row="{OnIdiom Desktop=0, Phone=1}" 
                                 OverflowMode="Scroll"
                                 PdfViewer="{Binding Source={x:Reference pdfViewer}}">
        <telerik:PdfViewerFitToWidthToolbarItem />
        <telerik:PdfViewerZoomInToolbarItem />
        <telerik:PdfViewerZoomOutToolbarItem />
        <telerik:PdfViewerSearchToolbarItem IsVisible="{OnIdiom Phone=False, Desktop=True}"/>
        <telerik:PdfViewerSearchNavigationToolbarItem IsVisible="{OnIdiom Phone=True, Desktop=False}"/>
        <telerik:PdfViewerToggleLayoutModeToolbarItem />
        <telerik:PdfViewerNavigateToPreviousPageToolbarItem />
        <telerik:PdfViewerNavigateToNextPageToolbarItem />
        <telerik:PdfViewerNavigateToPageToolbarItem />
    </telerik:RadPdfViewerToolbar>
    <telerik:RadPdfViewer x:Name="pdfViewer"
                          Grid.Row="{OnIdiom Desktop=1, Phone=0}" />
</Grid>

2. Add the following namespace:

• XAML

xmlns:telerik="http://schemas.telerik.com/2022/xaml/maui"

3. Then add the following code to visualize the PDF document:

• C#

Func<CancellationToken, Task<Stream>> streamFunc = ct => Task.Run(() =>
{
    Assembly assembly = typeof(Toolbar).Assembly;
    string fileName = assembly.GetManifestResourceNames().FirstOrDefault(n => n.Contains("pdf-overview.pdf"));
    Stream stream = assembly.GetManifestResourceStream(fileName);
    return stream;
});
this.pdfViewer.Source = streamFunc;

The snippet above shows one of the approaches for loading a PDF document inside RadPdfViewer just for the purpose of the example.

The following image shows the results from the completed example on WinUI:

And this is the look on Android:

Custom Toolbar Items

You can add custom toolbar items to the PDF Toolbar and bind them to a custom command. You can achieve this by using the ButtonToolbarItem.

Here is an example showing how to add a custom Toolbar item with a sample command bound to it. The command is used just to display a message with the PDF document's file size.

1. Add the PdfViewer and the PdfToolbar controls to your page:

• XAML

<Grid RowDefinitions="{OnIdiom Desktop='Auto, *', Phone='*, Auto'}">
    <telerik:RadPdfViewerToolbar Grid.Row="{OnIdiom Desktop=0, Phone=1}"
                                 PdfViewer="{Binding Source={x:Reference pdfViewer}}">
        <telerik:ButtonToolbarItem Command="{Binding DisplayFileSizeCommand}">
            <telerik:ButtonToolbarItem.ImageSource>
                <FontImageSource Glyph="{x:Static telerik:TelerikFont.IconFile}"
                                 FontFamily="{x:Static telerik:TelerikFont.Name}"
                                 Size="16"/>
            </telerik:ButtonToolbarItem.ImageSource>
        </telerik:ButtonToolbarItem>
        <telerik:PdfViewerZoomInToolbarItem />
        <telerik:PdfViewerZoomOutToolbarItem />
    </telerik:RadPdfViewerToolbar>
    <telerik:RadPdfViewer x:Name="pdfViewer"
                          Grid.Row="{OnIdiom Desktop=1, Phone=0}"
                          Document="{Binding Document, Mode=OneWayToSource}" />
</Grid>

2. Load a sample PDF document in code-behind:

• C#

this.BindingContext = new ViewModel();

Func<CancellationToken, Task<Stream>> streamFunc = ct => Task.Run(() =>
{
    Assembly assembly = typeof(CustomToolbar).Assembly;
    string fileName = assembly.GetManifestResourceNames().FirstOrDefault(n => n.Contains("pdf-processing.pdf"));
    Stream stream = assembly.GetManifestResourceStream(fileName);
    return stream;
});
this.pdfViewer.Source = streamFunc;

3. Add the ViewModel class. In the ViewModel, get a reference to the RadFixedDocument instance through the Document property of the PDF Viewer and execute the DisplayFileSizeCommand bound to the Command property of the custom Toolbar item:

• C#

public class ViewModel
{
    public ViewModel()
    {
        this.DisplayFileSizeCommand = new Command(this.DisplayFileSizeCommandExecute);
    }

    public RadFixedDocument Document { get; set; }
    public ICommand DisplayFileSizeCommand { get; set; }

    protected void DisplayFileSizeCommandExecute(object para)
    {
        RadFixedDocument document = this.Document;
        if (document != null)
        {
            using (MemoryStream stream = new MemoryStream())
            {
                PdfFormatProvider formatProvider = new PdfFormatProvider();
                formatProvider.Export(document, stream, TimeSpan.FromMinutes(1));
                double megabytes = ToKiloBytes(stream.Length);
                Application.Current.MainPage.DisplayAlert("", "File Size: " + megabytes.ToString("N0") + " KB", "OK");
            }
        }
    }

    private static double ToKiloBytes(long bytesCount)
    {
        return (double)bytesCount / 1024;
    }
}

The image below shows the results on the different platforms:
