Step 2: Create a Simple SfPdfViewer Sample in blazor

Start by following the steps provided in this link to create a simple SfPdfViewer sample in blazor. This will give you a basic setup of the SfPdfViewer component.

Step 3: Include the following namespaces in the Index.razor file.

Import the required namespaces at the top of the file:

@using Amazon;
@using Amazon.S3;
@using Amazon.S3.Model;
@using Syncfusion.Blazor.SfPdfViewer;

Step 4: Add the below code example to

@page "/"

<SfPdfViewer2 DocumentPath="@DocumentPath"
              @ref="viewer"
              Height="100%"
              Width="100%">
</SfPdfViewer2>

@code {
    private SfPdfViewer2 viewer;
    private string DocumentPath { get; set; }

    private readonly string accessKey = "Your Access Key from AWS S3";
    private readonly string secretKey = "Your Secret Key from AWS S3";
    private readonly string bucketName = "Your Bucket name from AWS S3";
    private readonly string fileName = "File Name to be loaded into Syncfusion PDF Viewer";

    protected override async Task OnInitializedAsync()
    {
        MemoryStream stream = new MemoryStream();
        RegionEndpoint bucketRegion = RegionEndpoint.USEast1;

        // Configure the AWS SDK with your access credentials and other settings
        var s3Client = new AmazonS3Client(accessKey, secretKey, bucketRegion);

        // Specify the document name or retrieve it from a different source
        var response = await s3Client.GetObjectAsync(bucketName, fileName);

        Stream responseStream = response.ResponseStream;
        responseStream.CopyTo(stream);
        stream.Seek(0, SeekOrigin.Begin);
        DocumentPath = "data:application/pdf;base64," + Convert.ToBase64String(stream.ToArray());
    }
}

Replace the file name with the actual document name that you want to load from Box cloud file storage. Make sure to pass the document name from the box folder to the documentPath property of the SfPdfViewer component

NOTE

Replace Your Access Key from AWS S3, Your Secret Key from AWS S3, and Your Bucket name from AWS S3 with your actual AWS access key, secret key and bucket name

NOTE

The AWSSDK.S3 NuGet package must be installed in your application to use the previous code example.
