2月 12, 2024
帶有支援縮略圖導航的 PDF 元件為使用者提供了一個熟悉的介面，用於在您的 WPF 應用中無縫流覽文件。

This method is faster and more intuitive than scrolling or manually entering page numbers, making the information within the PDF more easily accessible.

Several PDF components for WPF offer thumbnail navigation including:

  • Telerik UI PDF for WPF (part of Telerik UI for WPF) allows you to display thumbnails for intuitive page navigation within your WPF apps.
  • ComponentOne Studio WPF PDF (part of ComponentOne Studio WPF by MESCIUS) enhances the user experience with easy-to-implement thumbnail navigation for quick document browsing in WPF projects.
