Idea and Motivation

There is a lot of PDF Reader apps available on Play Store but some of them has very minimal features and some of them has a lot of features that is distracting. So, I decided to make a PDF Reader app with minimal features and beautiful UI. I also tried to make it simple and also resourceful. This was a project to try out new things and learn new things.

Features

The app consists of five main components that work together to provide a seamless user experience.

• Home (Overview, Recent, Favorite) - Home consists of three main sections:

  • Overview: Provides a summary of all PDF files on the device.
  • Recent: Displays the most recently opened PDF files.
  • Favorite: Shows the user's favorite PDF files.

• Files - The Files section has list of all PDF files on the device. Users can view and sort the files based on different criteria.

• Folder - The Folder section displays all folders containing PDF files. Users can navigate through the folders and view the PDF files within them.

• Search - The Search feature allows users to search for PDF files on the device. Users can enter keywords to find specific files quickly.

• Reader - Upon selecting a PDF file, the app opens the Reader section, where users can view the PDF file. The reader supports various features such as zooming, scrolling, and page navigation.

• Other Features - The app also includes additional features such as list and grid view, theme selection (light, dark, and system default), and settings customization.
