Works perfectly well, plus, it’s THE most lightweight pdf viewer. Kudos to the Graphene OS team for bringing it to non-Pixel devices!

PDF Reader

Java

Simple Android PDF viewer based on pdf.js and content providers. The app doesn&#39;t require any permissions.

The PDF stream is fed into the sandboxed WebView without giving it access to content or files. Content-Security-Policy is used to enforce that the JavaScript and styling properties within the WebView are entirely static content from the apk assets. It reuses the hardened Chromium rendering stack while only exposing a tiny subset of the attack surface compared to actual web content. The PDF rendering code itself is memory safe with dynamic code evaluation disabled, and even if an attacker did gain code execution by exploiting the underlying web rendering engine, they&#39;re within the Chromium renderer sandbox with no access to the network (unlike a browser), files, or other content.

Privacy Guides' Recommendations

Android is a highly secure operating system with full verified boot, strong sandboxing, a permission control system, modern exploit mitigations, and more.

Google Pixel phones are the only secure phones as they fully support verified boot, use the custom Titan M2 chip, use the Trusty TEE OS, and can effectively randomize the device&#39;s MAC address. There is a reason why GrapheneOS only supports Google Pixel phones. Do not even think about buying a different phone. All other phones are a security nightmare and should be avoided at all costs!
