You will find the sample list view delegate at PdfSharp.Maui.Sample/CustomListViewRendererDelegate.cs

Custom PDF Renderer

Its possible to write your own renderer, for your own custom view. You should mark your class with PdfRenderer attribute, then you have to create PdfManager by giving the assembly.

[PdfRenderer(ViewType = typeof(YourView))]
	public class PdfCustomViewRenderer : PdfRendererBase<YourView>
	{
		public override void CreatePDFLayout(XGraphics page, YourView view, XRect bounds, double scaleFactor)
		{
			XFont font = new XFont(GlobalFontSettings.DefaultFontName, 14 * scaleFactor);

			page.DrawRectangle(view.GetBackgroundBrush(), bounds);
			page.DrawString("Sample text in the page", font, XBrushes.Black, bounds, XStringFormats.Center);
		}
	}
