How to get downloaded PDF url? I dont want user to download the same pdf again. I think, I used that url as a cache url.

mPDFViewCtrl.openURL(fileUrl, null, null, null);
      
      mPDFViewCtrl.setDocumentDownloadListener(new PDFViewCtrl.DocumentDownloadListener() {
        
        @Override
        public void onDownloadEvent(int type, int page_num, int page_downloaded, int page_count, java.lang.String message) {
          // TODO Auto-generated method stub
          if(type == PDFViewCtrl.DOWNLOAD_FINISHED){
            //or to hide it
            setProgressBarIndeterminateVisibility(false);
          }else if(type == PDFViewCtrl.DOWNLOAD_FAILED){
            //or to hide it
            setProgressBarIndeterminateVisibility(false);
            Toast.makeText(PdfViewActivity.this, message, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
          }
        }
      });

Hi,

Question 1:
You can use PDFViewCtrl.setPagePresentationMode(PDFViewCtrl.PAGE_PRESENTATION_SINGLE) to change the presentation mode to single mode (see http://www.pdftron.com/pdfnet/mobile/docs/Android/pdftron/PDF/PDFViewCtrl.html#setPagePresentationMode(int)). This mode let’s you change pages by scrolling horizontally. If you want a “continuous” horizontal scrolling (just like single mode), currently this is not supported.

Question 2:
You can cache the downloaded document to a local file. You can pass a file path through the second parameter of openURL, for example, openURL(url, “/mnt/sdcard/download/file.pdf”, “”, null), and use the listener to see if the file was downloaded without errors. Next time you call openURL, you need to pass the same file you used before so PDFViewCtrl will check if they have the same size, etc, and use the cache instead. For every different URL you need to use a different cache file, or it will re-download the document.
