This request is for allowing to open other document types in PDF Viewer - for example, Word, Excel. The functionality will target viewing only and not editing.

The steps to handle the scenario will be the following:

1. Handle the OnOpen event to get the file bytes
2. Use the appropriate format provider of the RadSpreadProcessing library to import the Word/Excel file
3. Export the file with the PdfFormatProvider
4. Pass the converted file to the PDF Viewer to display it

Note: We've registered a bug with this solution. The PDF Viewer does not open other types of documents from the FileSelect in the Toolbar, they can be opened only on initialization of the component. Currently, the bug is in our backlog. Once fixed, the above-listed solution can be used to configure the PDF Viewer for viewing other document types. A knowledge base resource will be published on the matter.

We are trying multiple viewers with the same files in a Blazor server application.
But the other viewers load larger file sizes faster because they load them in modules and when you scroll through the viewer, the others will be loaded.

I didn't see this in the Telerik pdf viewer. Am I correct that this is not standard? And is there a way to make it that way?

Does the blazor pdfviewer support password-protected PDF files? I want to read/render an encrypted PDF file. The control should be able to detect that it is password-protected and prompt the user for a password, and finally render the document as expected.

When you search for a term, the document is not scrolled. Also when the user inserts a search term and clicks Enter the document is scrolled to the second match instead of the first one.

The loading animation is visible only when a user opens a file from the Toolbar of the component. When programmatically opening a file, the loader is not shown. 

 

I want to set the Data of a PDFViewer from the OnRowClick event handler. If I use the ReadAllBytesAsync() method, the PDF viewer does not render the PDF document. I need to use the synchronous version (ReadAllBytes) to make this work.

Nice job on Telerik, Kendo UI and Test Studio R3 2022!   I like the PDF Viewer UI Controls.  Question: Any plans to add annotations and comments to CLIENT-SIDE ONLY solution i.e. .NET Blazor MAUI libraries similar to this server-side only solution
