In your Windows Phone application, please add the required assemblies in order to use Essential PDF. Refer here for assemblies required.

Loading the document

The following code example illustrates how to load the file by using stream in Windows Phone.

//Load the file as stream

Stream docStream = typeof(MainPage).GetTypeInfo().Assembly.GetManifestResourceStream("Winrt_Sample.Assets.Data.Sample.pdf");

PdfLoadedDocument loadedDocument = new PdfLoadedDocument();

await loadedDocument.OpenAsync(docStream);

//Create booklet with two sides

PdfDocument document = PdfBookletCreator.CreateBooklet(loadedDocument, new SizeF(1000, 700), true);

MemoryStream stream = new MemoryStream();

//Save the document into memory stream

await document.SaveAsync(stream);

//close the documents

document.Close(true);

loadedDocument.Close(true);

//Save the stream into pdf file

Save(stream, "Booklet.pdf");
'Load the document as stream

Dim docStream As Stream = GetType(MainPage).GetTypeInfo().Assembly.GetManifestResourceStream("windowsPhoneSample.Data.Sample.pdf")

Dim loadedDocument As New PdfLoadedDocument()

await loadedDocument.OpenAsync(docStream)

'Create booklet with two sides

Dim document As PdfDocument = PdfBookletCreator.CreateBooklet(loadedDocument, New SizeF(1000, 800), False)

Dim localFolder As StorageFolder = Windows.Storage.ApplicationData.Current.LocalFolder

Dim outFile As StorageFile = await localFolder.CreateFileAsync("Booklet.pdf", CreationCollisionOption.ReplaceExisting)

Using outStream As Stream = await outFile.OpenStreamForWriteAsync()

'save the document

await document.SaveAsync(outStream)

'Close the documents

document.Close(True)

loadedDocument.Close(True)

End Using

The following code example illustrates how to load the file by using file open picker in Windows Phone.

//create the file open picker

var picker = new FileOpenPicker();

picker.FileTypeFilter.Add(".pdf");

//Browse the multiple files

IReadOnlyList<StorageFile> files = await picker.PickMultipleFilesAsync();

//Load the existing document using file picker

PdfLoadedDocument loadedDocument = new PdfLoadedDocument();

await loadedDocument.OpenAsync(files[0]);

//Create booklet with two sides

PdfDocument document = PdfBookletCreator.CreateBooklet(loadedDocument, new SizeF(1000, 800), false);

StorageFolder localFolder = Windows.Storage.ApplicationData.Current.LocalFolder;

StorageFile outputFile = await localFolder.CreateFileAsync("Booklet.pdf", CreationCollisionOption.ReplaceExisting);

using (Stream outStream = await outputFile.OpenStreamForWriteAsync())

{

//save the document

await document.SaveAsync(outStream);

//Close the documents

document.Close(true);

loadedDocument.Close(true);

}
'create the file open picker

Dim picker = New FileOpenPicker()

picker.FileTypeFilter.Add(".pdf")

'Browse the multiple files

Dim files As IReadOnlyList(Of StorageFile) = await picker.PickMultipleFilesAsync()

'Load the existing document

Dim loadedDocument As New PdfLoadedDocument()

await loadedDocument.OpenAsync(files[0]);

'Create booklet with two sides

Dim document As PdfDocument = PdfBookletCreator.CreateBooklet(loadedDocument, New SizeF(1000, 800), False)

Dim localFolder As StorageFolder = Windows.Storage.ApplicationData.Current.LocalFolder

Dim outFile As StorageFile = await localFolder.CreateFileAsync("Booklet.pdf", CreationCollisionOption.ReplaceExisting)

Using outStream As Stream = await outFile.OpenStreamForWriteAsync()

'save the document

await document.SaveAsync(outStream)

'Close the documents

document.Close(True)

loadedDocument.Close(True)

Saving the document

The following code example illustrates how to save the PDF document in Windows Phone.

//Load the existing document

PdfLoadedDocument loadedDocument = new PdfLoadedDocument(fileStream);

//Create booklet with two sides

PdfDocument document = PdfBookletCreator.CreateBooklet(loadedDocument, new SizeF(1000,800), false);

StorageFolder localFolder = Windows.Storage.ApplicationData.Current.LocalFolder;

StorageFile outFile = await localFolder.CreateFileAsync("Booklet.pdf", CreationCollisionOption.ReplaceExisting);

using (Stream outStream = await outFile.OpenStreamForWriteAsync())

{

//save the document

await document.SaveAsync(outStream);

//Close the documents

document.Close(true);

loadedDocument.Close(true);

}
'Load the existing document

Dim loadedDocument As New PdfLoadedDocument(fileStream)

'Create booklet with two sides

Dim document As PdfDocument = PdfBookletCreator.CreateBooklet(loadedDocument, New SizeF(1000,800), False)

Dim localFolder As StorageFolder = Windows.Storage.ApplicationData.Current.LocalFolder

Dim outFile As StorageFile = await localFolder.CreateFileAsync("Booklet.pdf", CreationCollisionOption.ReplaceExisting)

Using outStream As Stream = await outFile.OpenStreamForWriteAsync()

'save the document

await document.SaveAsync(outStream)

'Close the documents

document.Close(True)

loadedDocument.Close(True)
