Export as image issues.

[Eddy]

I need to process many PDFs and export it as an image, the first PDF works fine, however and other PDF I load and export, the image is always of the first one. I do not get any errors. This is the code I'm using:

            SfPdfViewer pdfViewerControl = new SfPdfViewer();
      
            Stream stream2 = pdfViewerControl.ExportAsImage(0,2.0f);

            stream2.Position = 0;

            byte[] imageAsBytes = Converters.ToByteArray(stream2);

            PDFImage.Source = ImageSource.FromStream(() => new MemoryStream(imageAsBytes));

            filePath = Path.Combine(localFolder, "test.png");

            File.WriteAllBytes(filePath, imageAsBytes);

Again this works fine on the first PDF, but on any other PDF all I get is an image of the first PDF.

If I add this line:

     pdfViewerControl.Unload();

I get this error:

"Object reference not set to an instance of an object."

I also tried, instead of creating the PDFViewer in code, creating it in XAML, the UnLoad works, however in this scenario, the image doesn't get exported, it just creates a 0 byte file.

Hi Eddy, 

We were able to reproduce the issues “ExportAsImage returns previous PDF page even after loading a new PDF when SfPdfViewer is instantiated in code and not added to UI" and “Null reference exception occurs while unloading the PDF Viewer” in our side and confirmed it is a defect. This fix will be included in our 2019 Vol 3 Main release which will be available in October 2019.

Great, glad it's a defect and I'm not loosing my mind then. I thought I was doing something wrong.

Hi Eddy, 

 

Thank you for your update. 

 

As we mentioned earlier, the fix for the issues “ExportAsImage returns previous PDF page even after loading a new PDF when SfPdfViewer is instantiated in code and not added to UI" and “Null reference exception occurs while unloading the PDF Viewer” will be included in our Essential Studio 2019 Volume 3 Main release which will be expected to rolled out  on 03^rd October 2019. We will inform you once the release is rolled out.

I updated to the current release and that seems to have resolved my current issues. Thanks for the quick turn around on the fix.
