Creating a PDF viewer for Silverlight, without external plugin - image

I'm trying to implement / use PDF viewer for Silverlight 5 in the browser.
Googling the subject produced some interesting results but most of them are based
on having an external PDF viewer such as Acrobat. I want to achieve this without having the user installing software.
I've understood that it can be done by converting the PDF to PNG and displaying the PNG file.
I'm trying to show a png file. I've succeeded using the simple tool
I'm using MVVM and is new to Silverlight.
Thanks,
Guy

You might check each component vendor specs as some have been enhanced since the time the article was written (ex : DevExpress PDF component for UWP supports search) BuiltIn PDF component purpose is to render documents, not manipulate. You can contact the dev team for feature requests.

windows universal app pdf viewing

I'm trying to design a Windows 10 Universal application which can download pdfs from online and open them natively in the application while retaining the functionality to fill them out (obviously only for pdfs that normally have such functionality). Is this possible as of now (using either microsoft's own or third party products) ?
Since Windows 8.1 there is a API for rendering PDF documents. You can find a SDK-Sample here - https://code.msdn.microsoft.com/windowsapps/PDF-viewer-sample-85a4bb30/
The problem is: The API render the PDFs to an BitmapImage. You will loose all the functionality to edit forms, it´s viewing only. For Windows 10 there is no aditional way to handle pdfs.
Here is a list of third party controls, who maybe can do the trick.

This stuff is created for windows 8.1, but should work for windows universal as well.

.jpg to .pdf conversion in windows phone 8 app

I have started creating windows phone 8 app and captured an image (.jpg) file, now I want to convert this .jpg file in to .pdf file.
Is there any way to do this ?
Please help me.
Thanks,
As you know that windows app support winrt .winmd files only and normal dll doesnt work in window apps. So you would need the pdf sdk for rendering a pdf and add image to it. In Aspnet application Itextsharp dll is free sdk to support it but there are lot of paid sdk available Component One.But there are free sdks like SilverPdf, itextsharp custom. or try to create new one Or you can extend to Web api service by using service (post api) with image encoded in byte array and in serverside using free tools like the itextsharp you can generate it as pdf and return it to windows app.

Converting list of images to pdf in windows phone 8

How can i convert list of images to pdf programmatically. In my current application, my requirement is i need to select some images from a list of images, and i need to import that images to pdf. Is there any open source project is available to implement this functionality. Can any one help me to find a solution to this issue.
There is a control from ComponentOne that can do exactly what you want. Other than that, there are no public open-source components that I am aware of that would be 100% compatible with Windows Phone.
There is SilverPDF but it will require some fine tuning to get it working.
