Forgive me for this stupid question. I just transitioned from iPhone to Pixel (GrapheneOS) and I’m curious why there isn’t a built in PDF viewer like on iPhone? It feels like you have to open things externally pretty often, but I figure there’s a reason for that. I haven’t used Android in many years and I recently developed an interest for the technical aspects of things, so again, do forgive this beginners question.
Cheers y’all!
GrapheneOS has an actively maintained PDF viewer app though.
https://github.com/GrapheneOS/PdfViewer
It’s a secure PDF designed to sandbox the file before launching it, but unfortunately it’s painful to use: no page scrolling, and no dark content view…
Page scrolling works fine and dark mode doesn’t make sense…
Dark mode really starts to make sense when you’re looking at documents for 7-10 hrs/day almost every other day for a month or two
