At some point, we may want to display a PDF file as it will appear when printed. This article demonstrates how to show print preview of a PDF file in Windows Forms application using Spire.PDF and c#.
Before using the following code, we need to create a windows forms application, add a PrintPreviewControl control to the form and reference Spire.Pdf.dll into the application.
using System; using System.Windows.Forms; using Spire.Pdf; namespace PreviewPDF < public partial class Form1 : Form < public Form1() < InitializeComponent(); >private void printPreviewControl1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) < //Load PDF file PdfDocument pdf = new PdfDocument(); pdf.LoadFromFile("New Zealand.pdf"); //Set the PrintPreviewControl.Rows and PrintPreviewControl.Columns properties to show multiple pages this.printPreviewControl1.Rows = 2; this.printPreviewControl1.Columns = 2; //Preview the pdf file pdf.Preview(this.printPreviewControl1); >> >
