Free Pdf Support

Free Pdf Parser is a free, open source Android app which adds pdf support to other Android apps.

If you're here because an app sent you here to install pdf support, go ahead and install and don't worry about the rest of this information.

If you're a developer and would like to add Pdf support to your app, keep reading.

This app takes a Pdf file, via intent, and returns the pages as a list of PNG images (one per page).

This app is based on the MuPDF library (http://www.mupdf.com/). Just like MuPDF, this app is licensed under the GNU General Public License v3(http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html). The source code can be found here: https://github.com/adk/FreePdfParser.

Example usage:

Intent parseIntent = new Intent("com.newfrontiernomads.pdf.action.PARSE");

parseIntent.putExtra("width",800);

parseIntent.putExtra("height",600);

parseIntent.setDataAndType(pdfFileUri, "application/pdf");

parseIntent.putExtra("output_directory", mParsedPdfDir.getAbsolutePath());

startActivityForResult(parseIntent, PARSE_PDF_REQUEST_CODE);

After onActivityResult is called, output_directory will contain the images.
