Windows 8/10 and PDF support: Are there APIs? [closed]

Yes. The Windows.Data.Pdf namespace contains many APIs that allow you to render PDFs.

These APIs are available to WinRT applications, but there are ways to use certain WinRT APIs from desktop applications if that is what you need.

Edit: It appears that this library can only be used in Windows RT apps and cannot be used in desktop apps.

There is also a video from 2013 build on rendering PDFs in WinRT applications.
