Key Features

ComponentOne PDF for Windows Phone allows you to create customized, rich applications. Make the most of PDF for Windows Phone by taking advantage of the following key features:

•      Easily Add Content

The C1PdfDocument class is easy to use. The commands provided for adding content to documents are similar to the ones available in the WinForms Graphics class. If you know how to display text and graphics in WinForms, you already know how to use C1PdfDocument in Windows Phone. Add text, images, lines, rectangles, ellipses, pies, arcs, rounded rectangles, polygons, Bezier curves, and more.

•      Easily Add Images

Adding images to PDF documents is easy; all the work is done by the DrawImage method. DrawImage draws a given image at a specified location and has parameters that provide control over the image alignment and scaling. You can render any regular .NET Image object, including metafiles.

•      Fast Rendering and Compression of Images

C1PdfDocument allows multiple levels of compression giving options for high quality and small file size. Metafiles are parsed and converted into vector graphics commands and thus retain the best possible resolution. If you want to add charts or technical drawings to your PDF document, metafiles are better than bitmap images.

•      Security and Permission

If your PDF documents contain sensitive information, you can encrypt them so that only authorized users can access it. There is a separate password for the owner of the document and for all other users. The user's access can be selectively restricted to allow only certain operations, such as viewing, copying, printing, or editing the document.

•      Bookmarks

Most long PDF documents contain an outline structure that is displayed on a pane on the left of the reader. The outline makes it easy to browse through a document's structure and find specific topics. With PDF for Windows Phone, you can build this outline structure by adding outline entries (bookmarks).

•      Hyperlinks and Local Links

C1PdfDocument provides methods for adding hyperlinks and hyperlink targets to your PDF documents. You can also add local links, that when clicked take the user to another location within the same PDF document. This type of link is useful when you want to implement some type of cross-referencing within the document, such as a table of contents or an index.

•      Document Information

C1PdfDocument allows you to add meta data to the PDF documents you create. Specify author, creation date, keywords, and so on. You can also provide default viewer preferences to be applied when the document is opened in the Adobe Reader. Specify the initial page layout, window position, as well as reader toolbar and menu visibility.
