About this app

Simple Android PDF viewer based on pdf.js and content providers. The app doesn't require any permissions. The PDF stream is fed into the sandboxed WebView without giving it access to the network, files, content providers or any other data.

Content-Security-Policy is used to enforce that the JavaScript and styling properties within the WebView are entirely static content from the APK assets along with blocking custom fonts since pdf.js handles rendering those itself.

It reuses the hardened Chromium rendering stack while only exposing a tiny subset of the attack surface compared to actual web content. The PDF rendering code itself is memory safe with dynamic code evaluation disabled, and even if an attacker did gain code execution by exploiting the underlying web rendering engine, they're within the Chromium renderer sandbox with less access than it would have within the browser.

I like to know that this is a secure way to view PDFs, however there are some areas where user experience suffers. The maximum you can zoom into a document is pretty limited, and it seems to depend on your device's display size. Jumping to a page with the carasol may be fine for shorter documents, but for 100+ page documents, it's just not efficient. Finally, I wish there was an option for the app to automatically save your last position on a document to jump back into the next time it's opened.

The application is simple, but it needs development and attention to the interface and user experience. standards are clear, such as warning the user if the file contains malicious code. Thank you. Thanks for the reply. I think I did not find the expression. From my experience with the program, I suggest that before opening the file, there should be a warning message if the file contains malicious code. Hackers are constantly developing malicious

The app prevents malicious code in the PDF causing any harm with an extremely high level of protection against it. It doesn't need to try to detect it and warn about it because it prevents it.

Does everything I need and runs well. Very simple and basic, but that's what I'm looking for. I can print via the share option too. My only point for improvement would be support for swiping between pages. Also, there seems no way of opening documents with this app by default, I have to manually select this app as an option to open pdfs every time I select the file outside the app. Would be nice if I could set it as my default pdf viewer.

We're actively working on adding support for scrolling between pages. It should be available soon, hopefully in under a couple months. Your OS should already let you set it as a default when you open a PDF from the file manager.
