I need to display PDF files in my windows phone 8 app. The easiest way I know is using ComponentOne pdf control. But it is way too costly to be bought by an individual. Is any body aware of a free wp8 control for diplaying pdfs?

My next option is to create it my self. I am trying to convert the pdf into an image and then display it. But I can not find any wp8 compatible library. I tried GhostScript but it is not working with windows phone 8.

Any kind of help will be appreciated.

Answer 1

Have you tried MuPDF, Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8 WinRT component?

MuPDF.WinRT is a lightweight PDF, XPS and CBZ viewer and parser/rendering WinRT component.

The MuPDF.WinRT is just wrapper under MuPDF library (http://www.mupdf.com/), so it can support the same functions as MuPDF library
