If you want a well integrated PDF viewer in a browser app, you'll have to find one. Understandably modern phone have lots of storage space but in the end Android has had a guiding principle via the Intent system to leave the ability to read/play any document (PDF, office file, video, audio) to those apps who can specifically handle those file formats.Įdit1 response: "Rooting" won't give you additional features in any browser/app as adding features involves deep changes to the app requiring software development time. Didn't need the feature, you didn't need to download anything which could cost valuable data airtime or take up space in your phone and possibly avoid having a duplicated function in different apps. Given that any additional feature (like displaying PDF) will add size to the original app, in the early days it was better to have a distinct separate app. Since Apple provides a PDF viewer in their UIWebview/WkWebview I expect any app on iOS to use the existing iOS framework as cross-app interaction had additional requirements. The downside is Android devices need to have an app installed capable of reading the file/intent/URI passed to it.įrom what I understand iOS only added Universal Links in iOS 9 which could provide similar behavior. This also means if a document format has a version 2 / or additional features, the receiver app could be updated to handle it. Or find a browser (or other app) which suits your needs.Īndroid from the start has a concept called Intents, which means one app could use a different app to handle specific task like 'open email app to start a message' or 'play a video'.
