[nikjohns]

I am developing an application of showing PDF offline in app (windows 10) using react-native-windows and get stuck,
so can you suggest me any lib for showing PDF offline in the application?

React-native: 0.57
"react-native-doc-viewer": "^2.7.8",
"react-native-fs": "^2.13.3",
"react-native-windows": "^0.57.0-rc.5"

Win10 SDK(UWP): win10 SDK-17134,
min-target SDK-15063.

There are commercial options, such as PSPDFKit and Foxit PDF SDK that officially support UWP. Both support React Native also.

For simple use cases, it is possible to use the classes in Windows.Data.Pdf namespace and specifically PDFPage to render the PDF as an image:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/uwp/api/windows.data.pdf.pdfpage.rendertostreamasync

Another option is to load PDF.js into WebView and use it as a PDF viewer. The rendering performance of the web-only viewers is not very good.

We are not investing in new features or lower priority bug fixes on the C# implementation of React Native for Windows (previously known as "vCurrent"). All investment moving forward is in the C++ infrastructure (previously known as "vNext") and that is the only option as of 0.61 (and was the default as of 0.60). If this issue is still relevant on the modern implementation please open a new issue. If this issue is of significant severity for a vCurrent app and vNext is not an option, re-open with justification.
