This example shows how to integrate PSPDFKit for Web into an ASP.NET backend app.
This example demonstrates both Standalone and Server backend.
- .Net 6.0
- A running PSPDFKit Document Engine (if you wish to use Server backend). Follow the guide here.

Clone the repo:
git clone https://github.com/PSPDFKit/pspdfkit-server-example-asp-net.git
cd pspdfkit-server-example-asp-netIf Visual Studio informs you that some packages are missing then click on the "Restore" on the right.
After you have downloaded PSPDFKit for Web, place the contents of the dist directory in /wwwroot/lib/pspdfkit/.
Make sure your /wwwroot/lib/pspdfkit/ folder contains the file pspdfkit.js and a pspdfkit-lib directory with library assets.
You can then build and run the example using dotnet watch run from the root folder.
You can also follow along with our Getting Started guides for ASP.NET.
The Standalone example does not require a running PSPDFKit Document Engine but the Server example does.
Follow the guide here to set up a running PSPDFKit Document Engine.
Change the server address in /Views/Shared/_Layout.cshtml to the address of your PSPDFKit Document Engine.
Once you have a running server you will need to generate a JWT and place it in /Views/Home/Index.cshtml.
Read this guide for more information on this topic.
Upload a document to the server if you haven't already. Get the document id and set it in /Views/Home/Index.cshtml.
Build the solution and click on the green play icon in the toolbar starting the app and the index page will open in the browser you have specified to launch with.
