Hi Anthony,

Thank you for your Feedback regarding the PdfViewer control.

I have updated the status of this Feature Request to "Declined" as it depends on a custom implementation. My colleague Lance provided a demo and steps how to achieve the required scenario.

Hi Anthony,

Thank you for taking the time to open a Feature Request. I have updated the title of this Feature Request to better describe what you're asking for.

Workaround

In my original ticket response, I explained the steps that you would need to do to get RadBarcode rendered into a PDF document.

1. Render the Xamarin.Forms View element (i.e. RadBarcode) as an image (i.e. png)
2. Send that image to a platform that can use the Telerik Document Processing Libraries and use RadPdfProcessing (that platform needs to be able to support these Windows desktop APIs)
3. Create a new RadFixedDocument and insert the image into the RadFixedDocument using the image byte[] with an ImageSource
4. Export the RadFixedDocument as a PDF file and return it to the Xamarin.Forms application

Note: As an example of such a platform, you can take the same ASP.NET Web API approach I used in this demo, the PdfGeneratorController accepts a png byte[] for the image and returns a PDF file.

5. If you want the user to see the PDF document, you can show the PDF file in the Xamarin.Forms RadPdfViewer control.
