Hello,
Is there a good recommendation for an PDF reader? The "PDF Viewer" app is quite good, but unfortunately you can not search in the document.

Thx! :)

    Thank you,
    Librera Reader looks very interesting. I will give it a try. :)

    Librera Reader is a nice piece of software. However, please note that the author of Librera Reader seems to be affected by the Russian invasion into Ukraine. On the app's Github page the author says that the development is frozen currently.

    I used Librera Reader for a while. It contains tons of features. For my daily usage it felt kind of overloaded. As per the Exodus page, it may contain trackers: https://reports.exodus-privacy.eu.org/reports/com.foobnix.pro.pdf.reader/latest

    Currently I just use the GOS PDF reader. I would be interested in another viewer with some more features, open source and no trackers. Any proposals are appreciated!

      ReadOnlyUser I don't think you'll find another FOSS document reader with anywhere near the same features. For what it's worth, Librera doesn't need network permission. That said, I too find it heavy for use as a default viewer. I've been happy with MJ PDF as my default, as well as Simple File Manager's built-in reader.

      Thank you,
      also makes a good impression.
      Unfortunately it seems not be possible to copy any text from the PDF file, with this App.

      a year later

      While am certain Microsoft apps are not everyone's cup of tea on this forum, the Onedrive pdf viewer has some good functionality - such as highlighting, copying and annotation of text.

      Not recommended:

      • Okular, KOReader: not meant for Android, legacy permissions
      • cuprumPDF: unmaintained

      Good:

      • savPDF, Orion
      • muPDF mini (only on F-Droid maybe)
      • PDFViewerPlus (on iodeOS repo and possible via obtainium: repo com.gsnathan.pdfviewer)

      I just use WPS office app without network permission.
