Answer: When you need to view PDF in Android, VeryPDF provides two solutions for you. One is that you can convert those PDF files in assets folder to app for Android by VeryPDF Flipbook Maker, which is desktop shareware GUI version software. Another solution is that you can upload local PDF file to online file then show them in HTML 5 code by free online application named VeryPDF Free Online Document Viewer. But this software only allows you to upload one PDF each time and then there will be URL of each PDF written by HTML 5 code. By the URL you can view PDF in Android system. No matter image PDF or text based PDF, there is no problem for both of those two software.
There are many articles in our Knowledge base about how to use those two software. So I will not talk about usage of them, in the following part, let us try to compare those two methods then you can try to choose a better one for you.
VeryPDF Flipbook Maker & VeryPDF Free Online Document Viewer
- Both of those two software can help you view PDF in Android system. Flipbook Maker changes PDF file file flip book formats and save it as app or online flipbook. Then you can read PDF in the format of eBook either by local file app or online eBook by URL. Document Viewer changes local or online PDF file to HTML 5 code based PDF flipbook and show it in the format of URL. By the URL, you can view PDF in Android at any place where the web connection is available. If you need to read those PDF file without web net connection, please use the first method of saving PDF as local app file.
- Flipbook Maker is shareware and you need to pay for it, if you need to use it forever. Once you pay for it and then you do not need to pay any other fee of using this software. It is lifelong free use. Different with it, Document Viewer is free online application. If you just need to view PDF in Android, you do not need to pay any fee as it is totally free. But if you need to keep the output URL of HTML 5 code PDF more than 24 hours, you need to buy API code per month or per year which is also quite cheap.
Through comparing, I guess maybe you can make a right solution of using which software. Please read the following example of HTML 5 code based PDF file in Android which is produced by Document Viewer. During the using, if you have any question, please contact us as soon as possible.
