NativeScript PDFView

🚧 Work in progress

This package was forked from the unmaintained package madmas/nativescript-pdf-view which in turn is a fork of Merott/nativescript-pdf-view. We are currently cleaning up and updating the code.

---

A minimal PDF view implementation that does only one thing, and that is to display PDF files in the simplest way possible. It conveniently uses the iOS WKWebView, and for Android it uses AndroidPdfViewer.

This plugin does the bare minimum required to render the PDF, no configuration options, and no error handling have been built yet. I welcome all Pull Requests!

My aim is to keep the features consistent across iOS and Android.
