Because for a dead simple read-only PDF viewer, I trust Google's security team over random Play Store app to properly sandbox the PDF and not let it do shady shit to my phone upon opening.
I'd trust Firefox more if they provided one, but in their absence, Google has the talent and the resources to do it properly.
- johnchristopher 4y agoDoesn't it mean the PDF file gets uploaded to Google drive then ?
- homero 4y agoNo there's a local viewer
- joshuaissac 4y agoIt does not. It is just a name. The file stays on the device and is not uploaded to Google Drive.
- rchaud 4y agoSamsung phones open PDFs in their Notes app. Besides that, I think most people just install Adobe Reader because it's what they know.
- camel-cdr 4y agoI'd expect googles pdf viewer to be comparable to others using well established libraries, such as poppler and mupdf.
