# Create PDF file in .NET MAUI

The Syncfusion<sup>&reg;</sup> [.NET MAUI PDF library](https://www.syncfusion.com/document-processing/pdf-framework/maui/pdf-library) is used to create, read, and edit **PDF** documents. This library also includes functions for merging, splitting, stamping, forms, and securing PDF files and more. Using this library, you can **create a PDF document in the .NET MAUI application.**

N> Our PDF library is currently supported in .NET MAUI applications on the Android, iOS, and Windows platform. Currently, the PDF library is not supported in the Mac Catalyst platform.

## Steps to create PDF document programmatically in .NET MAUI

{% tabcontents %}
{% tabcontent Visual Studio %}
**Prerequisites**:

* Install .NET SDK: Ensure that you have the .NET SDK installed on your system. You can download it from the [.NET Downloads page](https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download).
* Install Visual Studio: Download and install Visual Studio Code from the [official website](https://code.visualstudio.com/download).



Step 1: Create a new project in VS2022, select the .NET MAUI App (Preview) template, and click the **Next** button.

Step 2: Enter the project name and click **Create**.
![.NET MAUI sample configure project](MAUI_images/Configure_project.png)

Step 3: Install the [Syncfusion.Pdf.Net](https://www.nuget.org/packages/Syncfusion.Pdf.NET/) NuGet package as a reference to your project from the [NuGet.org](https://www.nuget.org/).
![.NET MAUI NuGet package reference](MAUI_images/Install_Nuget.png)

N> Starting with v16.2.0.x, if you reference Syncfusion<sup>&reg;</sup> assemblies from trial setup or from the NuGet feed, you also have to add "Syncfusion.Licensing" assembly reference and include a license key in your projects. Please refer to this [link](https://help.syncfusion.com/common/essential-studio/licensing/overview) to know about registering Syncfusion<sup>&reg;</sup> license key in your application to use our components.

Step 4: Add a new button to the *MainWindow.xaml* as shown below.

      </ScrollView>
</ContentPage>


{% endhighlight %}

Step 5: Include the following namespaces in the *MainWindow.xaml.cs* file.
{% capture codesnippet2 %}
{% tabs %}

{% highlight c# tabtitle="C#" %}

Step 6: Add a new action method *createPdf_Click* in *MainWindow.xaml.cs* and include the below code snippet to generate a PDF document using the [PdfDocument](https://help.syncfusion.com/cr/document-processing/Syncfusion.Pdf.PdfDocument.html) class. The [PdfTextElement](https://help.syncfusion.com/cr/document-processing/Syncfusion.Pdf.Graphics.PdfTextElement.html) is used to add text in a PDF document and which provides the layout result of the added text by using the location of the next element that decides to prevent content overlapping. Load image stream from the local files on disk and draw the images through the [DrawImage](https://help.syncfusion.com/cr/document-processing/Syncfusion.Pdf.Graphics.PdfGraphics.html#Syncfusion_Pdf_Graphics_PdfGraphics_DrawImage_Syncfusion_Pdf_Graphics_PdfImage_System_Single_System_Single_) method of the [PdfGraphics](https://help.syncfusion.com/cr/document-processing/Syncfusion.Pdf.Graphics.PdfGraphics.html) class. The [PdfGrid](https://help.syncfusion.com/cr/document-processing/Syncfusion.Pdf.Grid.PdfGrid.html) allows you to create table by entering data manually or from an external data sources and include helper classes, methods and required files in the assets folder.

**Prerequisites:**

* JetBrains Rider.
* Install .NET 8 SDK or later.

Step 1. Open JetBrains Rider and create a new .NET MAUI Blazor Hybrid App project.
* Launch JetBrains Rider.
* Click new solution on the welcome screen.

![Launch JetBrains Rider](JetBrains_Images/Launch-JetBrains-Rider.png)

* In the new Solution dialog, select Project Type as Web.
* Enter a project name and specify the location.
* Choose template as **.NET MAUI Blazor Hybrid App**.
* Select the target framework (e.g., .NET 8.0, .NET 9.0).
* Click create.

![Creating a new .NET MAUI Blazor Hybrid APP](JetBrains_Images/Blazor-Maui-App.png)

Step 2: Install the NuGet package from [NuGet.org](https://www.nuget.org/).
* Click the NuGet icon in the Rider toolbar and type [Syncfusion.Pdf.NET](https://www.nuget.org/packages/Syncfusion.Pdf.Net) in the search bar.
* Ensure that "nuget.org" is selected as the package source.
* Select the latest Syncfusion.Pdf.NET NuGet package from the list.
* Click the + (Add) button to add the package.

![Select the Syncfusion.Pdf.NET package](JetBrains_Images/NET-Package.png)

* Click the Install button to complete the installation.

![Install the NuGet Package](JetBrains_Images/Install-NET-BlazorMaui-Package.png)

Step 4: Next, include the following namespaces in the ``_Imports.razor`` file.

{% tabs %}

{% highlight c# tabtitle="C#" %}

    @using Syncfusion.Pdf.Grid;
    @using Syncfusion.Drawing;
    @using BlazorMauiAppCreatePdfSample.Services

{% endhighlight %}

{% endtabs %}

Step 5: Create a button in the ``Weather.razor`` using the following code.

{% tabs %}

{% highlight CSHTML %}

<button class="btn btn-primary" @onclick="@ExportToPdf">Export to PDF</button>

{% endhighlight %}

{% endtabs %}

Step 6: Define the ``@ExportToPdf`` click function on ``Weather.razor`` file.

The [PdfDocument](https://help.syncfusion.com/cr/file-formats/Syncfusion.Pdf.PdfDocument.html) object represents an entire PDF document that is being created and add a [PdfPage](https://help.syncfusion.com/cr/file-formats/Syncfusion.Pdf.PdfPage.html) to it. The [PdfTextElement](https://help.syncfusion.com/cr/file-formats/Syncfusion.Pdf.Graphics.PdfTextElement.html) is used to add text in a PDF document and which provides the layout result of the added text by using the location of the next element that decides to prevent content overlapping. The [PdfGrid](https://help.syncfusion.com/cr/file-formats/Syncfusion.Pdf.Grid.PdfGrid.html) allows you to create table by entering data manually or from an external data source.
