i got some troubles to display a pdf using pdfium using c#. I read this other question:

Read a stored PDF from memory stream

i downloaded the pdfiumViewer package, but when i compile it, it says that it can't find the pdfium library. So, I downloaded the package "pdfium.net SDK" so it's working but it's not free, it's limited version. what i was wondering is : do we must have the package "pdfium.net SDK" to have the "pdfiumViewer" working" ? thx !

The SDK you found, which I guess is Patagames's Pdfium.Net SDK, which is indeed a paid solution.

PdfiumViewer is free, but you have to have pdfium built, which is pretty thoroughly documented.
