Android // PDF

I just searched for "Android, PDF" here on Code Project, and the first ten or fifteen hits were not what I was trying to find. I have a new phone. It's an Android. I want to put a PDF reader on it. It would be nice if the reader could also do straight ASCII Text. Suggestions are welcome. I have found from experience that waiting a day or two for opinions here on CodeProject tends to yield far better results than Google (or Bing, or whomever) provides. Searching my own previous messages didn't give me anything in the first twenty hits, so, hopefully I'm not annoying the community with a topic that reappears too frequently (or worse, which I asked before and forgot).

I use WPS office - it reads PDF, DOC / DOCX, and Excel files as well as text.

I use an old version of the free Adobe PDF reader. IMHO, it's much snappier and renders better than the current version. If you like I can make it avaialble to you. /ravi

For PDF files, I use Adobe Reader. For TXT files, I use ASTRO File Manager.

For reading pdf books, I use Play Books. With its horizontal scrolling through pages, night mode and option to add bookmarks, I find it's just right for it. A downside is that it takes quite a while (minutes) to add a pdf to it. So for things like plane/train tickets, receipts etc, I prefer using the Google Drive pdf viewer. This works for local files, in case the name Google Drive sounds suspicious.

EBookDroid is the best one I've found as it's extremely fast even with image-heavy PDFs and you can configure it to hide as much of the UI as you like, up to all of it. I can't tell you whether it does ASCII text but it does other formats such as ePub and RTF. Xodo is also good if you want to open multiple PDFs in a tabbed interface, or annotate them.

Foxit mobile works well for me. A few other I tried didn't open some of the PDF's I had, but Foxit works good so far. I didn't compare much other than that.

I like RepliGo Reader. Main feature I like is it maintains your position in the PDF when reopening. I'm typically reading several documents at a time. When reading a novel I like to start where I left off.

Thank you to each and every one who has offered suggestions. From reading here and one or two of the external sources, my initial choice was Xodo. At this moment, I'm not totally okay with it, although it may work. The three big things I want are... - Text reformats and fits the screen when I zoom it - Text reformats and fits the screen when I change the phone from vertical to horizontal - Ability to scroll to the next page without special gestures (i.e., smoothly, like the PC can do) Do any of the previously mentioned readers have the ability to do that, already built-in ? Does Xodo have that ability ? So far, I haven't found the config thing to do that.
