I want to use MigraDoc/PdfSharp to create and store PDF documents.
Is there a way to show these documents in an application on-screen? I’d like to show the print in my program rather than starting Acrobat Reader with the document name.
I considered storing the print using XPS instead of PDF, but then I’d need to way to convert XPS to PDF for mailing it to customers. And I don’t want to save the same print in two formats for space reasons.
MigraDoc can save files in its own format “MigraDoc DDL”. You can preview MDDDL on the screen, create PDF or RTF from it or print it.
Disadvantage: images are not included in the MDDDL file (OTOH this can be an advantage as images can be shared between several documents).
You can ZIP document plus images for storage.
PDFsharp can create PDF files from XPS (but this is in a beta state and not fully operational).
