Zoom not working

[MabsIT]

Hello,

I'm trying to implement the PDF viewer on the Xamarin platform. But for some reason it will not pinch zoom the PDF once it is loaded. I have a test project where it does actually zoom correctly, but for this project it won't. The only difference is that in my current project gets it's files from an api instead of the files being embedded into the application itself. Could this cause the viewer not to zoom properly?

Here is my code:

Xaml:

 <ContentPage.Content>

        <StackLayout>

            <syncfusion:SfPdfViewer  x:Name="pdfViewerControl" InputFileStream="{Binding PdfDocumentStream}" Toolbar = "{StaticResource ToolbarSettings}"/>

        </StackLayout>

    </ContentPage.Content>

Xaml.cs(code behind):

 public PdfViewerPage(Sheet _sheet)

        {

            InitializeComponent();

            BindingContext = new PdfViewerViewModel(Navigation, _sheet);

            loginService = new LoginService(Navigation);

            PdfViewerResourceManager.Manager = new ResourceManager("GettingStarted.Resources.Syncfusion.SfPdfViewer.XForms", GetType().GetTypeInfo().Assembly);

        }

ViewModel:

 public Stream PdfDocumentStream

        {

            get { return pdfDocumentStream; }

            set

            {

                //Check the value whether it is the same as the currently loaded stream

                if (value != pdfDocumentStream)

                {

                    pdfDocumentStream = value;

                    OnPropertyChanged();

                }

            }

        }

async void RefreshPdf()

        {

            try

            {

                var bytes = Convert.FromBase64String(await pdfViewerService.GetPdf(sheet.Id));

                PdfDocumentStream = new MemoryStream(bytes);

            }

            catch(Exception e)

            {

            }

        }

As you can see the Api returns the file as a base64string. I'm converting it back into a stream so it can be loaded in the viewer. It gets displayed correctly so i don't suspect the file is being corrupt or anything(other files load fine too but no zoom).

If anyone has a solution that would be great!

Using version: 17.1.0.53

Hi Joshua, 

 

Greetings from Syncfusion. 

When PDFViewer is placed inside the Stacklayout, We need to set the VerticalOptions and HorizontalOptions property of the PDF Viewer control to “FillAndExpand”.  

Please find the code snippet below, 

<ContentPage.Content> 

        <StackLayout> 

            <syncfusion:SfPdfViewer  x:Name="pdfViewerControl" InputFileStream="{Binding PdfDocumentStream}" Toolbar = "{StaticResource ToolbarSettings}" VerticalOptions="FillAndExpand" HorizontalOptions="FillAndExpand"/> 

        </StackLayout> 

    </ContentPage.Content> 

 

 

However, once the document is loaded zoom will work only after scrolling which is a defect from our side. We are currently working on this issue and the fix for this will be included in our Essential Studio Volume 2 Main Release which will be available by Mid of July 2019.
