A C# WinForms library wrapping Google's PDFium to render and display PDF documents. It provides PdfDocument for loading PDFs, PdfRenderer for rendering, and a PdfViewer control with a basic toolbar for saving and printing.
Use cases
- display pdf files in a winforms application
- render pdf pages in c#
- embed a pdf viewer control in a .net desktop app
- print pdf documents from a windows application
- load and render pdfs using pdfium in .net
When to choose
- you need a native PDF rendering control in a WinForms app without external dependencies like Adobe Reader
- you want fine-grained control over PDF rendering via the PdfRenderer component
When to avoid
- you need an actively maintained library - the project is archived and unsupported
- you target platforms other than Windows
- you need WPF or cross-platform .NET support
