I’ve got a PDF I’d like to show in a Book Control.
Since this control can’t use PDFs I have to work around it by either using images or converting the PDF to XAML.
What is the most elegant way to do this?
I would say that for the purpose of reading in a book control, converting the document to images is a better solution, as that would avoid creating massive XAML documents and a huge amount of processing.
There are a number of free and commercial libraries that can convert a PDF document to images page-by-page. Depending on performance requirements you could either create a list of pages on opening the document or get and convert each page as it is required, possibly with some caching of previous pages. The sky’s the limit really.
