cordova - Embed Adobe Reader in custom Android (or PhoneGap) Application -
we have need embed pdf reader in 1 of our custom built android (or phonegap plugins) tablet application local directory (sdcard). embed meaning not display pdf document inside application instead have tap following api functionalities programmatically:
1) retrieve pdf document meta data i.e. page size, author, date created 2) tap next , previous page click , implement our custom handler code 3) zoom, pinch, page swipe etc.
1) can or give direction achieve above use cases using adobe acrobat reader (adobe reader mobile 9 sdk)?
2) whether adobe reader mobile 9 sdk exposes api program against? faq section doesn’t talk api above mentioned use case
we have spent time in googling & stackoverflow mining find possibilities no luck. our conclusion after analysis have go open source or commercial embeddable pdf sdk’s i.e.
• mozilla’s pdf.js • android pdf viewer library • foxit pdf viewer library • radaee.pdf, embeddable mobile pdf sdk • adobe reader mobile sdk
we have tried above mentioned libraries , below our experience
mozilla’s pdf.js – javascript solution , exposes api of our need fails render pdf cases whenever special embedded font missing , in such cases application crashes. other single issue promising , superb. still in beta stage.
android pdf viewer library – have built custom intent (phonegap android plugins) slow , fails in many cases. felt pdf.js better android pdf viewer library
radaee.pdf – exploring. knowledge base poor , not enough samples move forward
foxit pdf viewer library – unable download sdk url sent in email after registering foxit. though link says pdf sdk downloads pdf reader. sent email sales team , awaiting response.
the adobe reader mobile sdk – sdk not available download, 1 need through re-sellers. sent request them , awaiting callback
