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.

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.

Great to see a security focused PDF viewer. Would love to see swipe to change page, and a few more options to zoom and auto fit to screen.

Zoom to fit is now the default and the zoom gesture has been greatly improved. We're actively working on adding support for scrolling between pages. It should be available soon, hopefully in under a couple months.

A simple and secure PDF reader. Does it's job well. Has basic functionality. If you need advanced functions, however, this app is not enough. But it still is a nice one to have in the metaphorical back pocket
