Chris Emerson commented on CB-3325:
-----------------------------------
Sadly no progress on Android/PDF front AFAIK. My current fallback is to export
all my PDFs into PNGs and lay them out in HTML code. Super lame I know but all
other PDF fallbacks on Android are too awkward or insecure IMO.
Keep and eye out for progress or ideas on this front though - I know lots of
folks would be interested if/when something comes up.
