+# Liquid Glass Effect in .NET MAUI PDF Viewer (SfPdfViewer)
+
+The Liquid Glass Effect introduces a modern, translucent design with adaptive color tinting and light refraction, creating a sleek, glass like user experience that remains clear and accessible. This section explains how to enable and customize the effect in the [SfPdfViewer](https://help.syncfusion.com/cr/maui/Syncfusion.Maui.PdfViewer.SfPdfViewer.html) control.
+
+## Apply liquid glass effect
+
+Follow these steps to enable and configure the Liquid Glass Effect in the [SfPdfViewer](https://help.syncfusion.com/cr/maui/Syncfusion.Maui.PdfViewer.SfPdfViewer.html) control:
+
+### Step 1: Wrap the control inside glass effect view
+
+To apply the Liquid Glass Effect to Syncfusion® .NET MAUI [SfPdfViewer](https://help.syncfusion.com/cr/maui/Syncfusion.Maui.PdfViewer.SfPdfViewer.html) control, wrap the control inside the `SfGlassEffectView` class.
+
+For more details, refer to the `Liquid Glass Getting Started documentation`.
+
+### Step 2: Enable the liquid glass effect on SfPdfViewer
+
+Set the `EnableLiquidGlassEffect` property to `true` in the [SfPdfViewer](https://help.syncfusion.com/cr/maui/Syncfusion.Maui.PdfViewer.SfPdfViewer.html) control to apply the Liquid Glass Effect. When enabled, the effect is also applied to its dependent controls and provides responsive interaction for a smooth and engaging user experience.
+
+### Step 3: Customize the background
+
+To achieve a glass like background in the [SfPdfViewer](https://help.syncfusion.com/cr/maui/Syncfusion.Maui.PdfViewer.SfPdfViewer.html) control, set the `Background` property to `Transparent`. The background will then be treated as a tinted color, ensuring a consistent glass effect across the controls.
+
+The following code snippet demonstrates how to apply the Liquid Glass Effect to the [SfPdfViewer](https://help.syncfusion.com/cr/maui/Syncfusion.Maui.PdfViewer.SfPdfViewer.html) control:
