Q: I tested your evaluation version of PDFNet Mobile SDK for Android (http://www.pdftron.com/pdfnet/mobile/android_pdf_library.html). It works great. Now in this evaluation version the pdf viewer which scrolls the page vertically by default. But we need a pdf engine to load pdf pages in single mode and slide it horizonatally. And we need some additional features also.
-
Thumbnail view of pdf pages.
-
Bookmark options.
-
Hyper-link Options.
-
Video and Audio files should be play inside pdf.
A: The built-in support for horizontal layout is in the works and will be available soon. Btw, PDFNet SDK also includes all low-level components that could be used to build new controls from scratch (although we hope this will not be necessary).
- Thumbnail view of pdf pages.
You can obtain thumbnails and PDF bitmaps using ‘pdftron.PDF.PDFDraw’. There is also a sample project called PDFDraw illustrating the basic use of this class.
- Bookmark options.
You can access (and manipulate) document outline as shown in the Bookmarks sample project (http://www.pdftron.com/pdfnet/samplecode.html#Bookmark). At some point we will also extend the viewer sample to include bookmarks panel.
- Hyper-link Options.
Could you please describe the requirement in more details. Link navigation is already supported in the sample and the tools module can be tweaked to customize the UI.
- Video and Audio files should be play inside pdf
You can use PDFNet API (https://groups.google.com/d/topic/pdfnet-sdk/0-9tjRVpG9U) to extract vide and avi streams from PDF. These streams can then be played using native Android API.
