Adding the ability to fill in a PDF online in the PDF Viewer would open a lot of opportunity to the library.
The ability to fill-out, sign, and date would be great with a save callback, so it can be pushed to an API.
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: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.
Please expose a parameter to show or hide the "Select files..." button inside the empty PDF Viewer.
Currently, a possible workaround is to use CSS:
<TelerikButton OnClick="@OnOpenToggle">Toggle Open Buttons</TelerikButton>
<TelerikPdfViewer Data="@PdfSource"
Class="@HideOpenClass"
Height="400px" />
<style>
.hide-open .k-blank-page,
.hide-open .k-button:has(.k-i-folder-open) {
display: none;
}
</style>
@code {
private byte[] PdfSource { get; set; }
private string HideOpenClass { get; set; } = string.Empty;
private async Task OnOpenToggle()
{
string _hideOpenClass = "hide-open";
HideOpenClass = HideOpenClass == _hideOpenClass ? string.Empty : _hideOpenClass;
}
}
