Hi Chethiya, We did some research on this and our conclusion was to go with an open source PDF viewer library and get it improved to our needs. Android's webview is not capable of rendering PDF's. What we did there was, embedding the Google doc viewer and loading the document online via GDOc viewer. But google doc viewer wasn't able to render some PDF files. But it did most. My view is, we should use an open source viewer such as [1]. [2] or [3] and get them improved to our needs. Or else write a new Android compatible viewer using [4].
[5], [6], [7], [8] are extremely good paid PDF reader SDK's which you can have a look to get an idea of what needs to be improved on those open source projects.
