WPF GdViewer throws a NullReferenceException

[accudave]

I'm having a problem where the new viewer is throwing a NullReferenceException when displaying a PDF. I attached the PDF in question to the post. The PDF is converted from a TIFF image and opens fine in all viewers, and it is converted by using GdPicture.

I can't really debug this because you obfuscate your code which makes it impossible to debug problems with your libraries. The method throwing the exception is the DisplayFromFile method.

this.gdPictureViewer.DisplayFromFile(this.SelectedDocument.FilePath);

Stack Trace:

Hello,

The PDF can be perfectly opened and rendered using the latest version. Could you check you are up to date?

It turned out that when using the MVVM pattern, you must ensure you are calling the view document api after the view has been fully initialized. In this case, the solution was the extract an interface from the view-model and call the view document api after the GdViewer has been fully loaded.
