@donypjoseph Have you solved it yet？

Same issue here.

Switched to a WebView for iOS which reads PDF contents in VoiceOver. Currently unable to find a solution for Android so I am just wrapping the PDF in a touchable which can then be given a label. This way users at least know there is some content, but this is FAR from ideal.
