[DEPRECATED] A fast PDF reader component for Android development

This project is no longer maintained.

You can find a good replacement here, which is a fork relying on Pdfium instead of Vudroid/MuPDF for decoding PDF files, allowing it to use the Apache License 2.0 which gives you much more freedom.

---

Android PDFView is a library which provides a fast PDFView component for Android, with animations, gestures, and zoom. It's based on VuDroid for decoding the PDF file.

Get it

Android PDFView is available in Maven Central.

<dependency>
	<groupId>com.joanzapata.pdfview</groupId>
	<artifactId>android-pdfview</artifactId>
	<version>1.0.4</version>
	<type>apklib</type>
</dependency>

Or via gradle:

compile 'com.joanzapata.pdfview:android-pdfview:1.0.4@aar'

Include PDFView in your layout

<com.joanzapata.pdfview.PDFView
        android:id="@+id/pdfview"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"/>

Load a PDF file

pdfView.fromAsset(pdfName)
    .pages(0, 2, 1, 3, 3, 3)
    .defaultPage(1)
    .showMinimap(false)
    .enableSwipe(true)
    .onDraw(onDrawListener)
    .onLoad(onLoadCompleteListener)
    .onPageChange(onPageChangeListener)
    .load();

• pages is optional, it allows you to filter and order the pages of the PDF as you need
• onDraw is also optional, and allows you to draw something on a provided canvas, above the current page

Is it possible to import the lib into Eclipse IDE?

Hi,

I am planing to use this library in one of my android app. And i am using Eclipse as my IDE. I tried to import library project, but it seem to have errors like package name problem. Even though i fix that, it shows org.vudroid.core.VuDroidLibraryLoader not found. If you could guide in this, it would be great. And its also great if you could provide JAR directly in downloads.

Thread safety issue

See #46

I ran into a regular crash when i was using the component to display various pdf file : on the left pane the name of the file and when the user click on a name, the pdf is displayed on the right.
Switching quickly between files to display led me into a RunTimeException in the function :

static PdfPage createPage(long dochandle, int pageno){
return new PdfPage(open(dochandle, pageno), dochandle);
}

in org.vudroid.pdfdroid.codec.PdfPage.
A little investigation led me to find that this happened when two threads was calling this function at the same time.

pdf file is not visible in the sample.

Hi ,

I have donwloaded and have configured the sample also with actionbarsherlock and annotations. But after opening app it simpley shows while page. its not showing the menu options also . please suggest.

Thanks,
Rajesh

Please response as soon as possible.

PDF rendering issues

Hi Joan,

first of all - thank you for this great library.

I have an issue with the PDF rendering when I zoom in.

Please take a look at the attached screenshot.

Do you have an idea why this problem occurs?

Use TextureView for API level 14+

Initially adviced by Romain Guy

Because a SurfaceView’s content does not live in the application’s window, it cannot be transformed (moved, scaled, rotated) efficiently. This makes it difficult to use a SurfaceView inside a ListView or a ScrollView. SurfaceView also cannot interact properly with some features of the UI toolkit such as fading edges or View.setAlpha().
TextureView creates a regular View instead of a new window and can therefore be translated, animated, etc... and easily added on components like lists.

Android 4.0 Graphics and Animations

TextureView is only available from API level 14, so I'd need to externalize rendering code and switch implementations regarding the OS version (I should probably check the hardware acceleration too).

Should be compatible with 2.2 (API8)

• Crashes with 2.2 because it uses some animations (API 11). Use NineOldAndroids.
• Investigate other compatibility issues.

Does not work with Android Studio

Hi @JoanZapata, I have already spent too long trying to get the Vudroid.so dep included in my project's build. I recommend testing the pdfview with AS and seeing if you can come to a solution, as it stands now it is broken because at run time the Vudroid.so lib is not loaded.

i can't import you project in my eclipse?? put the jar package in my this page?

AAR on Maven Central

It appears an apklib is uploaded to maven.org but not an aar. An aar would allow gradle to automatically import this dependancy.

Visibility of text

The library is good, however the text visibility is poor even when zooming.
Are you has a solution?

Wrong License

Please correct me if i´m wrong but i think that this library is not allowed to use the apache v2 license.

Since parts of vudroid´s source are used, which is licensed under GLP v3, it must be licensed under GLP too.

Set orientation of the pdf

Right now, some pdfs are displayed in portrait mode while the device is in landscape (see image). I guess this is due to the calculations (width height of a page). But this is pretty strange behaviour I think so it would be nice if there was an extra setting that forces all pages to be displayed horizontal or vertical.

So that the pages are readable in the same orientation the device is in..

Add a fromFile() initialization method

Issue rendering PDF version 1.7 File

Hey,

I used the component to display this PDF file : https://www.mtn.co.za/Documents/yellodeals%20_april.pdf

Adode 9 file (PDF version 1.7) using JPEG2000 image non flattened. On rendering, the component display black area in place of theses images :

And with the same file flattened PDF with 1.4 compatibility :

A clue about how to fix this ? Tested with VuDroid Application, and got the same issue.

Use android native EdgeEffect for overscrolling

It would be great if there was at least an options to remove the current ios-like over scrolling implementation and use EdgeEffect instead which gives a much more native look and feel.

Is it supported clickable link?

Hi,

I finding the PDF Viewer that supported clickable link(or url) on the pdf file, Is it possible to do that?

Thank you.

Enable/disable zoom separately from enabling/disabling swipe

GPL 3 license

Hi,

I found your library very useful. Great work :)

I am developing a commercial application where i want to use your library. Since you are using GPL 3 license, i understand that if i use your library, i have to expose source of my application also. Is this understanding correct ?

I can't expose source code of my application, is there different license i can use to use your library ? e.g. http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0 or http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.5/ ?

Thanks a lot for your time. Looking forward for a positive reply.

Regards,
Ashwani Kr Sharma

Libray fails to render specific PDF files

Hi,
For some reason, I am unable to render some particular files.
Here is the link to the files -
https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0ByOGTe_MnFxcMW8wdEJrTnEtaTA

I was earlier thinking that the library was having issues in rendering all files of large sizes.
This issue is not there for every file or above a specified file limit. I have tried many other files of 30MB - 46 MB (one file of 58MB also got rendered) and they got rendered pretty well. But, I am not sure why is it not rendering these specific files.
It just tries to load this file and the the Activity goes black and nothing is displayed at all.
Can you look into this and see what is the issue with rendering of this file?

Working sample project for eclipse?

Hi, this library looks very promising.
I see there are posts about using it with eclipse but I could not find a working solution.
I added "android-pdfview" as a libary project into eclipse and then I added it to my own project. Everything seems to be fine and eclipse does not complain.

However as soon as I try to open a pdf my app crashes (runtimeexception).

My code looks like this:
PDFView pdfView = (PDFView) findViewById(R.id.pdfview);
pdfView.fromAsset("test.pdf")
.defaultPage(1)
.load();

Hello ,

Find a better DSL

Prerequisite for #8.

The current DSL forces to reconfigure the whole object.

java
pdfView.fromAsset(pdfName)
.pages(0, 2, 1, 3, 3, 3)
.defaultPage(1)
.showMinimap(false)
.enableSwipe(true)
.onDraw(onDrawListener)
.onLoad(onLoadCompleteListener)
.onPageChange(onPageChangeListener)
.load();

The only relevant part of it is:

``` java
pdfView.fromAsset(pdfName) // or fromFile(), fromXXX(), ...
    .pages(0, 2, 1, 3, 3, 3)
    .defaultPage(1)
    .onLoad(onLoadCompleteListener)
    .load();

Other methods should be available at any time, not only in the initialization phase.
This is related to #8 because setting the callbacks should be done on configuration change, but not load(), the methods need to be splited.
