## Printing a PDF document in Xamarin.Android

The library handles all the hard work, you simply have to tell it to show the system print dialog with a document. This can be done with [`Print.StartPrintJob`](https://sdk.apryse.com/api/xamarinandroid/pdfnet/api/pdftron.PDF.Print.html#pdftron_PDF_Print_StartPrintJob_Context_String_pdftron_PDF_PDFDoc_String_System_Int32_System_Boolean_). Here is how:

{% code lineNumbers="true" %}

```csharp
void handlePrintJob(Activity activity, bool isRtl,
    bool printDocument,
    bool printDocumentWithAnnotations,
    bool printDocumentWithAnnotationSummary)
{
    var printContent = 0;
    if (printDocument)
    {
        printContent |= Print.PrintContent.DocumentBit;
    }
    if (printDocumentWithAnnotations)
    {
        printContent |= Print.PrintContent.AnnotationBit;
    }
    if (printDocumentWithAnnotationSummary)
    {
        printContent |= Print.PrintContent.SummaryBit;
    }
    Print.StartPrintJob(activity, activity.GetString(Resource.String.app_name), mPdfDoc, (int)printContent, isRtl);
}
```

## Printing a PDF document in Xamarin.iOS

The library handles all the hard work, you simply have to tell it to show the system print dialog with a document. This can be done with [`Print.PrintDoc`](https://sdk.apryse.com/api/xamarinios/tools/api/pdftron.PDF.PTPrint.html#pdftron_PDF_PTPrint_PrintDoc_System_String_CoreGraphics_CGRect_UIKit_UIView_System_String_System_Boolean_UIKit_UIPrintInteractionCompletionHandler_). Here is how:

{% code lineNumbers="true" %}

```csharp
void handlePrintJob()
{
    pdftron.PDF.PTPrint print = new PTPrint();
    print.PrepareDocToPrint(mPdfDoc, new MyPrintDelegate(this.View), btnPrint as NSObject);
}
```

{% endcode %}

where `MyPrintDelegate` is:

{% code lineNumbers="true" %}

```csharp
public class MyPrintDelegate : pdftron.PDF.PTPrintDelegate
{
    private UIView _view;
    public MyPrintDelegate(UIView view) 
    {
        _view = view;
    }
    public override void PreparedToPrint(string docFilePath, NSObject userData)
    {
        var myPrint = new pdftron.PDF.PTPrint();
        myPrint.PrintDoc(docFilePath, CGRect.Empty, _view, docFilePath, true, null);
    }
}
```

{% endcode %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.apryse.com/xamarin/print/print-document.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
