IronPrint.Xamarin - The C# Print Document Library

Effortlessly print documents, images, and PDFs in your .NET applications

IronPrint.Xamarin is a comprehensive C# library designed for developers to programmatically print documents such as PDFs and images. With a user-friendly API, you can customize print settings, and integrate printing functionality seamlessly into your .NET applications.

Get Started in 3 Steps

1. Install the NuGet Package

PM> Install-Package IronPrint.Xamarin

Xamarin.Android

Call IronPrint.Printer.Initialize(activity) from the MainActivity to ensure IronPrint is properly initialized.

Xamarin.Forms

Add the IronPrint.Xamarin Nuget package to the iOS and Android projects & the shared Forms project. For the Android project, call IronPrint.Printer.Initialize(activity) from the MainActivity to ensure IronPrint is properly initialized.

Important

For Xamarin.Forms, the user needs to ensure that the IronPrint.Xamarin package is added to both the platform projects (e.g. Android and iOS projects) as well as the shared forms project. This is actually the same way most Xamarin.Forms libraries are integrated into projects.

2. Print Your First Document

using IronPrint.Xamarin;

// Print PDF document
await IronPrint.Printer.PrintAsync("myDocument.pdf");
// Or
await IronPrint.Printer.ShowPrintDialogAsync("myDocument.pdf");

// Get printer list
var printerList = await IronPrint.Printer.GetPrinterNamesAsync();
