SfPdfViewer - File size of the control

[Aki]

Hi,

I have implemented SfPdfViewer into my app. The functionality looks very well so far although I just need a simple PDF viewing function.

However, I am concerning one thing which is the file size.
For an app package, this SfPdfViewer control increases the file size by 64 MB per platform. For the app bundle package of x86, x64 & ARM, it increases the file size by 123 MB.
I think the file size is too big especially phones although I am assuming there is no other way.

Do you have any thought on this point or any solution such as an alternative control?

Thank you in advance.

Hi Anastasios,  

Thank you for contacting Syncfusion support. 

The file size of app package for SfPdfViewer control becomes larger when you refer “Syncfusion Controls for UWP XAML” SDK in your project,  which contains complete collection of the assemblies of Syncfusion UWP controls. So we can refer only the necessary assemblies required for creating app package of SfPdfViewer control to overcome the reported problem.  

Please find the list of assemblies required to deploy the SfPdfViewer control in UWP: 

1.       Syncfusion.Pdf.UWP.dll  

2.       Syncfusion.SfPdfViewer.UWP.dll  

3.       Syncfusion.SfColorPickers.UWP.dll  

4.       Syncfusion.SfInput.UWP.dll  

5.       Syncfusion.SfRadialMenu.UWP.dll  

6.       Syncfusion.SfInput.UWP.dll  

You can refer these assemblies directly into your project and it can be available in the below location:  

$system drive:\ Files\Syncfusion\Essential Studio\$Version # \precompiledassemblies\$Version#\4.5.1  

E,g: $system drive:\ Program Files (x86)\Syncfusion\Essential Studio\14.3.0.49\Assemblies for Universal Windows\10.0  

Please find the details of file size after creating app package for SfPdfViewer control by referring above assemblies in SfPdfViewerControl project below  

Package	Platform	File Size
App Package	x86	16 MB
	X64	16 MB
	ARM	16 MB
App bundle package	x86, x64 & ARM	23 MB

No, we need not change this import “using:Syncfusion.Windows.PdfViewer” in the project and it is the default namespace we need to use for referring SfPdfViewer control in project.    We have also created a simple sample for displaying the PDF document in SfPdfViewer by referring only the required assemblies mentioned in our last update instead of referring the entire Syncfusion Controls for UWP XAML SDK and it can be download from the below link:    http://www.syncfusion.com/downloads/support/forum/126257/ze/PdfViewer_UWP-1224738348
