# PDF Samples

## [PdfRenderer](/src/main/java/com/example/platform/graphics/PdfRenderer.kt)

You can now render PDF document pages into bitmap images for printing by using
the new [PdfRenderer][1] class. You must specify a [ParcelFileDescriptor][2]
that is seekable (that is, the content can be randomly accessed) on which the
system writes the the printable content. Your app can obtain a page for
rendering with [openPage()][3], then call [render()][4] to turn the opened
[PdfRenderer.Page][5] into a bitmap.

This sample loads the PDF from assets. Contents of assets are compressed by
default, and the PdfRenderer class cannot open it. In this sample, we work
around this by copying the file into the cache directory.
