You can use MuPDF or Poppler libraries, though both are GPL licensed.

You are looking at the wrong part of the vogella tutorial. Look a little further down at section 5, titled, 5.

[android-developers] Re: reading pdf
ok, somehow i could compile and make it run and it is giving me correct number of pages. Now, if you look at Vogella blog code, it gets an Image instance for 2nd page. but when i try to make it BitmapFactory.GetBitmap(instance.getRawBytes()) i get byte[] as null. getOriginalBytes also return Null ! what could be the reason ?
