RadFixedDocument
RadFixedDocument is the class representing a PDF document inside RadPdfViewer.
Creation
For an existing PDF document, an instance of RadFixedDocument can be created using PdfFormatProvider and assigned to RadPdfViewer in the following way:
Example 1: Import a PDF document
Stream stream = Application.GetResourceStream(new Uri("PdfViewerDemo;component/SampleData/test.pdf", UriKind.Relative)).Stream;
RadFixedDocument document = new PdfFormatProvider(stream, FormatProviderSettings.ReadOnDemand).Import();
this.pdfViewer.Document = document;
The PdfFormatProvider of RadPdfViewer must not be confused with that of RadRichTextBox. Telerik.Windows.Documents.Fixed.FormatProviders.Pdf.PdfFormatProvider is the provider that RadPdfViewer uses to import files. It is located in the Telerik.Windows.Documents.Fixed assembly.For reference, the Telerik.Windows.Documents.FormatProviders.Pdf.PdfFormatProvider of RadRichTextBox is included in the Telerik.Windows.Documents.FormatProviders.Pdf assembly, in a namespace with the same name. The latter can be used only to export RadDocument to PDF.
As you can see, PdfFormatProvider accepts two parameters – stream with the contents of the PDF file and format provider settings specifying the loading mode.
