Displaying & caching PDF files

[Eller, Roger]

Hey Ralph,

"The latest phones usually come with a built-in PDF reader."

Source:  How To Open PDF Files on Android in under 60 Seconds  https://joyofandroid.com/open-pdf-android/

I am sure it's not the experience for everyone, but I very rarely view PDF files on my phone.  When I do, I use any PDF reader that I want.  Adobe Reader is free.  I know you said "natively", but like in some Linux camps, we don't always want everything ever made to be installed.  /jovial tone 🙂


~Roger

Then for Android the only option to display PDFs is pdfjs(Get on Git) in the browser.

<repeating myself> I still can't believe that Android can't natively display a PDF. This is not only for LC but for any PDF you browse to in Chrome. </repeating myself>

Thanks for your answer.
I have just checked the doc, and unless I'm wrong, the PDF Widget is available with the business license only...
