Deep Dive Into The App Secure PDF Viewer

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.

Exactly what I was looking for ... lightweight reader that runs locally and allows copying of selections. Thanks. For some reason though, at least on my Galaxy S23, the highlighted selection is off by a few characters when I copy ... in other words, if I highlight a given 10 characters, 10 characters are copied starting a few characters to the left of what was highlighted.

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.

Version 32 brought an overhauled user interface with swiping between pages and a new user interface for jumping to pages supporting keyboard input. Version 21 is now available with support for up to 10x zoom instead of being limited to 1.5x. The zooming gesture was also greatly improved prior to version 21. Other improvements are coming.

Simple, effective, does what I need. The navigation (changing between pages, zooming, how to open a file in the first place) is not exactly intuitive, but I got used to it quick, still, it would be amazing to be able to swipe between pages, or have the pages scrollable. I really like that I can easily see a PDFs metadata with this app.

It has an overhauled user interface with support for swiping between pages now. We plan to add vertical scrolling between pages too.
