Signal-android: [Feature] Add a private PDF previewer

Created on 27 Apr 2017  路  3Comments  路  Source: signalapp/Signal-Android

It would be very useful to be able to view PDF documents without saving them unencrypted and with a viewer that is guaranteed not to connect to the Internet or do other nasty things.

I understand there's the danger of bloating Signal, but I think this possibility should at least be considered.

CopperheadOS has a pdf viewer which uses pdf.js in a WebView sandbox, see:

The latest Apache licensed version of the app is cloned here:
