如何使用IronPDF創建VB.NET PDF查看器：完整教程

VB.NET 中查看 PDF 檔案有哪些挑戰？

Visual Studio 工具箱缺少標準的 PDF 檢視器控制項。 開發人員通常會依賴 Internet Explorer 或嵌入式 WebBrowser 控制項來顯示 PDF 文件，但這些方法依賴使用者的預設 PDF 閱讀器，並且可能會引入部署方面的隱性成本。

傳統解決方案可能還需要安裝外部軟體或手動配置才能正確處理、列印或渲染 PDF 表單，這增加了複雜性，並限制了在多個 Windows 環境中自訂 PDF 顯示的能力。

IronPDF 如何簡化 VB.NET 中的 PDF 檢視？

IronPDF 透過提供一個無需 Adobe Reader 或其他外部檢視器的獨立函式庫，改變了 VB.NET 應用程式中的 PDF 處理方式。 除了基本的檢視功能外，它還允許開發人員使用熟悉的 .NET 模式以程式設計方式建立、編輯、操作和渲染 PDF。

該庫的架構利用了基於 Chrome 的渲染引擎，確保以像素級精度顯示複雜的 PDF 文件，並完全支援表單、註釋和嵌入式多媒體等現代功能。 這種方法可以確保在所有 Windows 環境下呈現一致的渲染效果。

如何在VB.NET專案中安裝IronPDF？

透過 NuGet 套件管理器，只需幾個步驟即可完成 IronPDF 的安裝。 在 Visual Studio 中開啟您的 VB.NET Windows Forms 項目，然後依照下列步驟操作：

1. 在 Visual Studio 中開啟你的新項目，選擇你的目標框架或 .NET Core。
2. 在解決方案資源管理器中以滑鼠右鍵按一下您的專案。
3. 選擇"管理 NuGet 套件"
4. 在"瀏覽"標籤中搜尋"IronPDF"
5. 點選 IronPDF 軟體包上的"安裝"按鈕

安裝完成後，將以下導入語句加入您的 VB.NET 檔案：

Imports IronPdf

Imports IronPdf

IRON VB CONVERTER ERROR developers@ironsoftware.com

此導入語句使您的 VB.NET 專案能夠存取所有 IronPDF 類別和方法，從而允許您以程式設計方式載入、渲染、列印和操作 PDF 文件。

此配置包含所有必要的運行時組件，無需手動配置，避免了隱性成本。

如何在 Windows Forms 中建立一個基本的 PDF 檢視器？

建立 PDF 檢視器首先要建立一個 Windows Forms 應用程序，並實作 IronPDF 的渲染功能。 以下是在應用程式中顯示 PDF 的簡化方法：

Imports System.Drawing
Imports System.IO
Imports IronPdf
Public Class Form1
    Private currentPdf As PdfDocument
    Private pdfBitmaps() As Bitmap
    Private currentPage As Integer = 0
    Private zoomLevel As Double = 1.0
    ' Load PDF Button
    Private Sub LoadPdfButton_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles LoadPdfButton.Click
        Using openFileDialog As New OpenFileDialog()
            openFileDialog.Filter = "PDF Files (*.pdf)|*.pdf"
            If openFileDialog.ShowDialog() = DialogResult.OK Then
                ' Load PDF
                currentPdf = PdfDocument.FromFile(openFileDialog.FileName)
                ' Render all pages to image files
                Dim filePaths As String() = currentPdf.RasterizeToImageFiles("page_*.png")
                ' Load images into memory
                Dim pageList As New List(Of Bitmap)()
                For Each filePath As String In filePaths
                    Using ms As New MemoryStream(File.ReadAllBytes(filePath))
                        Dim bmp As New Bitmap(ms)
                        pageList.Add(bmp)
                    End Using
                Next
                pdfBitmaps = pageList.ToArray()
                currentPage = 0
                zoomLevel = 1.0
                DisplayCurrentPage()
            End If
        End Using
    End Sub
    ' Show the current page in PictureBox
    Private Sub DisplayCurrentPage()
        If pdfBitmaps IsNot Nothing AndAlso currentPage < pdfBitmaps.Length Then
            Dim bmp As Bitmap = pdfBitmaps(currentPage)
            ' Apply zoom
            Dim newWidth As Integer = CInt(bmp.Width * zoomLevel)
            Dim newHeight As Integer = CInt(bmp.Height * zoomLevel)
            Dim zoomedBmp As New Bitmap(bmp, newWidth, newHeight)
            PictureBox1.Image = zoomedBmp
        Else
            PictureBox1.Image = Nothing
        End If
        UpdateNavigationButtons()
    End Sub

Imports System.Drawing

    Private currentPdf As PdfDocument
    Private pdfBitmaps() As Bitmap
    Private currentPage As Integer = 0
    Private zoomLevel As Double = 1.0
    ' Load PDF Button
    Private Sub LoadPdfButton_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles LoadPdfButton.Click
        Using openFileDialog As New OpenFileDialog()
            openFileDialog.Filter = "PDF Files (*.pdf)|*.pdf"
            If openFileDialog.ShowDialog() = DialogResult.OK Then
                ' Load PDF
                currentPdf = PdfDocument.FromFile(openFileDialog.FileName)
                ' Render all pages to image files
                Dim filePaths As String() = currentPdf.RasterizeToImageFiles("page_*.png")
                ' Load images into memory
                Dim pageList As New List(Of Bitmap)()
                For Each filePath As String In filePaths
                    Using ms As New MemoryStream(File.ReadAllBytes(filePath))
                        Dim bmp As New Bitmap(ms)
                        pageList.Add(bmp)
                    End Using
                Next
                pdfBitmaps = pageList.ToArray()
                currentPage = 0
                zoomLevel = 1.0
                DisplayCurrentPage()
            End If
        End Using
    End Sub
    ' Show the current page in PictureBox
    Private Sub DisplayCurrentPage()
        If pdfBitmaps IsNot Nothing AndAlso currentPage < pdfBitmaps.Length Then
            Dim bmp As Bitmap = pdfBitmaps(currentPage)
            ' Apply zoom
            Dim newWidth As Integer = CInt(bmp.Width * zoomLevel)
            Dim newHeight As Integer = CInt(bmp.Height * zoomLevel)
            Dim zoomedBmp As New Bitmap(bmp, newWidth, newHeight)
            PictureBox1.Image = zoomedBmp
        Else
            PictureBox1.Image = Nothing
        End If
        UpdateNavigationButtons()
    End Sub

代碼解釋：

• currentPdf 儲存已載入的 PDF 文件。
• pdfBitmaps 儲存每個 PDF 頁面的點陣圖影像，以便在 PictureBox 控制項中顯示。
• LoadPdfButton_Click 使用標準的 OpenFileDialog 讓使用者選擇 PDF 檔案。
• PdfDocument.FromFile 載入 PDF 文檔，RasterizeToImageFiles 將每一頁轉換為圖片檔案。
• 每個檔案都以 Bitmap 的形式讀入內存，添加到數組中，並使用 DisplayCurrentPage() 顯示第一頁。

運行程式後，點擊"載入 PDF"按鈕，即可透過彈出的對話方塊載入 PDF 檔案。

如何實作PDF導航控件？

導航功能允許使用者在多頁文件之間移動，從而提升使用者體驗。 透過以下方式為表單新增"上一頁"和"下一頁"按鈕：

' Next Page Button
Private Sub NextButton_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles NextButton.Click
    If currentPage < pdfBitmaps.Length - 1 Then
        currentPage += 1
        DisplayCurrentPage()
    End If
End Sub
' Previous Page Button
Private Sub PreviousButton_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles PreviousButton.Click
    If currentPage > 0 Then
        currentPage -= 1
        DisplayCurrentPage()
    End If
End Sub

' Next Page Button
Private Sub NextButton_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles NextButton.Click
    If currentPage < pdfBitmaps.Length - 1 Then
        currentPage += 1
        DisplayCurrentPage()
    End If
End Sub
' Previous Page Button
Private Sub PreviousButton_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles PreviousButton.Click
    If currentPage > 0 Then
        currentPage -= 1
        DisplayCurrentPage()
    End If
End Sub

這些私有子程式使用物件傳送器、事件參數等處理 PDF 頁面的導覽。 按鈕更新 currentPage 並呼叫 DisplayCurrentPage() 在 Windows 窗體中呈現 PDF 頁面。

' Update navigation controls and page label
Private Sub UpdateNavigationButtons()
    PreviousButton.Enabled = currentPage > 0
    NextButton.Enabled = currentPage < pdfBitmaps.Length - 1
    PageLabel.Text = $"Page {currentPage + 1} of {pdfBitmaps.Length}"
End Sub

' Update navigation controls and page label
Private Sub UpdateNavigationButtons()
    PreviousButton.Enabled = currentPage > 0
    NextButton.Enabled = currentPage < pdfBitmaps.Length - 1
    PageLabel.Text = $"Page {currentPage + 1} of {pdfBitmaps.Length}"
End Sub

這樣可以更新按鈕狀態，使用戶無法導覽到第一頁或最後一頁之外，同時標籤會顯示目前頁碼和總頁數。

如何從不同來源載入PDF文件？

IronPDF 支援從本機文件以外的各種來源載入 PDF 檔案。 這種靈活性使得它可以與資料庫、Web服務和記憶體流整合：

' Load PDF from URL
Private Sub LoadUrlButton_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles LoadUrlButton.Click
    Dim url As String = UrlTextBox.Text.Trim()
    If String.IsNullOrEmpty(url) Then
        MessageBox.Show("Please enter a valid URL.")
        Return
    End If
    Try
        LoadFromUrl(url)
    Catch ex As Exception
        MessageBox.Show("Failed to load PDF: " & ex.Message)
    End Try
End Sub

' Load PDF from URL
Private Sub LoadUrlButton_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles LoadUrlButton.Click
    Dim url As String = UrlTextBox.Text.Trim()
    If String.IsNullOrEmpty(url) Then
        MessageBox.Show("Please enter a valid URL.")
        Return
    End If
    Try
        LoadFromUrl(url)
    Catch ex As Exception
        MessageBox.Show("Failed to load PDF: " & ex.Message)
    End Try
End Sub

如何新增縮放功能？

縮放功能可以提高詳細文件的可讀性。 使用圖像縮放實現縮放：

Private Sub ZoomInButton_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles ZoomInButton.Click
        zoomLevel = Math.Min(zoomLevel + 0.25, 3.0)
        DisplayCurrentPage()
    End Sub
    Private Sub ZoomOutButton_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles ZoomOutButton.Click
        zoomLevel = Math.Max(zoomLevel - 0.25, 0.5)
        DisplayCurrentPage()
    End Sub
    Private Sub ApplyZoom()
        If pdfBitmaps IsNot Nothing AndAlso currentPage < pdfBitmaps.Length Then
            Dim pageImage As Bitmap = pdfBitmaps(currentPage)
            Dim newWidth As Integer = CInt(pageImage.Width * zoomLevel)
            Dim newHeight As Integer = CInt(pageImage.Height * zoomLevel)
            Dim zoomedImage As New Bitmap(pageImage, newWidth, newHeight)
            PictureBox1.Image = zoomedImage
        Else
            PictureBox1.Image = Nothing
        End If
    End Sub

Private Sub ZoomInButton_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles ZoomInButton.Click
        zoomLevel = Math.Min(zoomLevel + 0.25, 3.0)
        DisplayCurrentPage()
    End Sub
    Private Sub ZoomOutButton_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles ZoomOutButton.Click
        zoomLevel = Math.Max(zoomLevel - 0.25, 0.5)
        DisplayCurrentPage()
    End Sub
    Private Sub ApplyZoom()
        If pdfBitmaps IsNot Nothing AndAlso currentPage < pdfBitmaps.Length Then
            Dim pageImage As Bitmap = pdfBitmaps(currentPage)
            Dim newWidth As Integer = CInt(pageImage.Width * zoomLevel)
            Dim newHeight As Integer = CInt(pageImage.Height * zoomLevel)
            Dim zoomedImage As New Bitmap(pageImage, newWidth, newHeight)
            PictureBox1.Image = zoomedImage
        Else
            PictureBox1.Image = Nothing
        End If
    End Sub

這段程式碼逐步調整縮放級別，並呼叫 DisplayCurrentPage() 函數應用縮放比例，以提高桌面端的可讀性。

如何列印PDF文件？

列印功能完善了使用者的瀏覽體驗。 IronPDF 透過內建方法簡化了列印流程：

Private Sub PrintButton_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles PrintButton.Click
        If currentPdf IsNot Nothing Then
            ' Simple print with default settings
            currentPdf.Print()
            ' Or with custom settings
            Dim printDoc As PrintDocument = currentPdf.GetPrintDocument()
            Using printDialog As New PrintDialog()
                printDialog.Document = printDoc
                If printDialog.ShowDialog() = DialogResult.OK Then
                    printDoc.Print()
                End If
            End Using
        End If
    End Sub

Private Sub PrintButton_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles PrintButton.Click
        If currentPdf IsNot Nothing Then
            ' Simple print with default settings
            currentPdf.Print()
            ' Or with custom settings
            Dim printDoc As PrintDocument = currentPdf.GetPrintDocument()
            Using printDialog As New PrintDialog()
                printDialog.Document = printDoc
                If printDialog.ShowDialog() = DialogResult.OK Then
                    printDoc.Print()
                End If
            End Using
        End If
    End Sub

此私有訂閱允許使用者使用預設或自訂印表機設定列印 PDF 文件。 GetPrintDocument() 傳回 PrintDocument 對象，用於與 Windows Forms PrintDialog 整合。

如何在WPF應用程式中實現PDF檢視功能？

雖然 Windows Forms 在桌面開發中佔據主導地位，但 WPF 應用程式也可以利用 IronPDF。 方法略有不同：

' In WPF Window code-behind
Private Sub LoadPdfInWpf(filePath As String)
    Dim pdfDoc As PdfDocument = PdfDocument.FromFile(filePath)
    Dim pageImage As Bitmap = pdfDoc.ToBitmap(0)
    ' Convert to WPF-compatible image
    Dim bitmapImage As New BitmapImage()
    Using memory As New MemoryStream()
        pageImage.Save(memory, ImageFormat.Png)
        memory.Position = 0
        bitmapImage.BeginInit()
        bitmapImage.StreamSource = memory
        bitmapImage.CacheOption = BitmapCacheOption.OnLoad
        bitmapImage.EndInit()
    End Using
    ImageControl.Source = bitmapImage
End Sub

' In WPF Window code-behind
Private Sub LoadPdfInWpf(filePath As String)
    Dim pdfDoc As PdfDocument = PdfDocument.FromFile(filePath)
    Dim pageImage As Bitmap = pdfDoc.ToBitmap(0)
    ' Convert to WPF-compatible image
    Dim bitmapImage As New BitmapImage()
    Using memory As New MemoryStream()
        pageImage.Save(memory, ImageFormat.Png)
        memory.Position = 0
        bitmapImage.BeginInit()
        bitmapImage.StreamSource = memory
        bitmapImage.CacheOption = BitmapCacheOption.OnLoad
        bitmapImage.EndInit()
    End Using
    ImageControl.Source = bitmapImage
