I think it'd be great to have a feature to view only the text of a PDF file.  
Wrapping, formatting, etc, would be even better.  Some Android devices (like 
mine) don't have very big screens, and it's kind of a pain to have to first 
zoom in enough to be able to see the text, then to have to pan left-to-right 
and then down just to be able to read the file.

The code here may or may not help (it's for an app which is supposed to do just 
this, but doesn't work for me and apparently for many others):

Thanks.

(First of all, fantastic work, this is the best PDF viewer for Android, and
it's fantastic, plus I love open source software. Great job!)

The issue seems to be that tiles should be stored to the SDCard. I often
open large PDFs for reference, and each time, all the tiles have to be
re-rendered. Why both? I want to have a .apv folder on my sdcard which
stores all of the rendered tiles for quick viewing next time I open the PDF.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Open a A4 document in landscape display mode
2. zoom in, the whole content (not the document page width) should fit the
display width

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
on mobile devices with small displays, i expect to set up the zoom level so
i can see as much content as possible.
At the moment i have to use fixed zoom levels which don't match all of my
documents. In one zoom level the viewed page fit almost twice in display
width, the next zoom level is as big i have to scroll horizontally to see
the rest of the page.
Possibly, the zoom factor can be reduced with increased zoom level or use a
slider for set up the zoom level instead of "+" / "-" buttons.

Please provide any additional information below.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Open document
2. try to rotate page ...

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
i expect to be able to rotate the document orientation, e.g. because some
pages of a dokument have a different orientation (very often: spare part
plans) or the user change his viewing position (lying in bed)

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
version 202 @ Android 1.6 (from Android Market, jan.04 2010, version says
0.2.0)

Please provide any additional information below.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. unable to generate libpdfview2.so file
2. getting errors in pdf_unicode.c
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

using on ubuntu

Any suggestions for generating .so file
Waiting for your answer
Thanking you

Attached files can be opened and previewed with Gmail using the program, 
but there is no way to save them on the sdcard. A saving feature would 
solve this.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Read lots of PDF files
2. See other programs being killed and RSS of apv > 120MB

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Memory usage should stay at 50MB

Please use labels and text to provide additional information.

I've started to look at memory allocations with DDMS. And in
PagesView.java, making "Rect r1" static for rectsintersect() helps: each
time the GC is run, only 50 objects are removed instead of 200+.
Do you think it's safe to make r1 static ?

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. open attached file calf1.01a.pdf (originally attached to issue 3 by 
myth2loki)
2. apv shows message box saying that page couldn't have been rendered

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

apv displays pdf file correctly

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Open the program

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The folder presented in the firs screen of the program are in random order 
and not in alphabetical order.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
0.2.5

Please provide any additional information below.

Last day, I could use only one hand to read a PDF and I thought about a
killer feature:
- a moderate tilt forward or backward, could scroll down and up
- a moderate tilt to the left or right, could move the page left or right

It would be nice to have a "white on black" mode for better reading in the
dark.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. i am getting errors when i am trying to generate .so file and the error 
is
     build/prebuilt/linux-x86/arm-eabi-4.2.1/bin/../lib/gcc/arm-
eabi/4.2.1/../../../../arm-eabi/bin/ld: cannot find -lfreetype
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

   The above one is the error .
please can you send the solution of how to rectify this error

Waiting for your solution

Thanking you

Please provide any additional information below.

Just tried to open a password protected PDF file, and the pdf viewer just
crashed (Force Close error). It would be great if this supported protected
documents, or at the very least it shouldn't crash when attempting to open
one. Great program otherwise, though.

APV is usually fast, and sometimes slow on some PDF files.
It may be related to jpeg decompression.
Maybe some options in libjpeg can be activated to speed up APV (or add an arm 
optimized idct)

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. open JasperServer-User-Guide.pdf
2. search for a string that can't be found in pdf file
3. apv crashes because of excessive memory usage

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

apv doesn't find anything, without crashing

"The attached PDF is broken" would of course be a valid response, but my
PC viewers have so much as shown a diagnostic message.

In the 'about' section, we need a space after the dot which is after 
apv.googlecode.com. 
Right after this we should read 'a user' instead of 'an user'.
Thanks.

Hi,
sorry if i post it here.

I attach the italian translation of the app and description in the Market.

Bye,
Diego Pierotto

What steps will reproduce the problem?

I have an Anroid Tablet without market access, and I'm not the only one: 
http://groups.google.com/group/android-pdf-viewer/browse_thread/thread/b0d8059ce
64b9ffa

I'm not able to download Android PDF Viewer

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
A download of the .apk file on this page.

Being able to define bookmarks in pdf files would be cool

Opening too large file will cause exception of out of memory.
I think the reason is to load all data into memory.

In the 'about' section, we need a space after the dot which is after 
apv.googlecode.com. 
Right after this we should read 'a user' instead of 'an user'.
Thanks.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Create a two-page document from Excel (2003) printed to PDF using Adobe 
Acrobat v. 7 in landscape mode
2. Save the document on the desktop
3. Transfer the PDF file to the Android device and display with PDF Viewer

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
It should display as a landscape page.
It displays as portrait pages with the right side of the original page cut 
off. This is not the case when viewing the same file with Documents to Go.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Version 0.2.5 on Android OS 1.6 updated on 02/10/2010.

Please provide any additional information below.
T-Mobile (original) My Touch 3G

Most android apps takes double click as a zoom in. Please consider 
implementing this action.

Thank you!

Please add a feature to lock the app in landscape mode(like the web browser).


Thank you!

I use APV to read pdf files on an 7" android tablet (running), in portrait 
mode.  The zoom function in APV allows me to maximize the viewing area, but I 
would have to adjust the placement of the text each time I scroll up or down 
the page.  This becomes tedious very quickly.  If we can have a horizontal 
scroll lock then the problem will go away.

Better yet: can we have two separate horizontal scroll locks -- one for the 
odd-numbered pages, and one for the even-numbered pages?  

MANY THANKS!

Feature request.

I would like the application to record the last location in each book and
automatically open to that location when the book is reopened. Without
bookmarks, this would be great.

If I have 3 books I'm switching reading between, I want to be able to open
the book and be on the page I left it at.

I would echo the other issue of switching between landscape and portrait
layouts. However, I thought fixing it as I mentioned might work as a mode
change fix as well.

I really appreciate the last update which greatly improved the stability.

Great job!
