Embedded PDF Viewer
Display and manipulate PDFs within your app.
Our PDF Viewer control allows you to display, manipulate, and print PDF documents directly in your Windows Forms application. The PDF Viewer doesn't simply render documents - it allows users to edit form fields, annotate documents, and initiate clipboard operations.
The PDF Viewer supports a rich set of document content types, including:
- JPX / JBIG2 Images
- Patterns
- Transparency Groups
- Type 3 Fonts
- Interactive Forms
And yes, the DevExpress WinForms PDF control is powered by DirectX - with remarkable text rendering and text antialiasing support.
Navigate PDFs
Navigate and explore PDF files with ease.
DevExpress PDF Viewer control includes a comprehensive collection of document navigation options, including:
- Bookmarks
- Links
- Navigation Pane (customizable document navigation UI)
- Page Thumbnails
- Ribbon UI
The PDF Viewer stores page view history and allows users to navigate back and forth between individual views as needed. And just like Adobe's Reader, you can search for PDF content using the Find panel (options include case-sensitive and whole word search).

Fillable PDF Forms
Edit documents with Acroforms.
Once you've integrated the PDF Viewer control in your WinForms project, your users can edit any PDF file that includes form field information. The PDF Viewer renders each field based on its associated form type - text box, radio button, combo box with auto complete, check box, and lists.
If your PDF document includes Acroform data, you can import from or export to the following formats: FDF, XFDF, XML, and TXT.

Zoom - Scroll - Rotate
Bring it closer or move it away.
Just like Adobe's PDF Reader, you can zoom in and out of a document via Ribbon buttons, pinch and zoom touch gestures, mouse scroll wheel or keyboard shortcuts. Alternatively, you can use zoom factors such as Actual size, zoom to page, fit to width, fit to visible, and any custom zoom level (%).
For proper page orientation when viewing a PDF document, the control includes both Rotate Clockwise and Rotate Counterclockwise commands.

After 25 Years of professional windows development I have never seen a library like DevExpress. AWESOME! An investment that makes happy!
