Key Points:

  • Google is bringing one to Android – it’s a part of its Files app that enables a PDF viewer.
  • Users will not need to use any external applications other than the Files app shortly if they want to open and read PDF files.
  • Even though this solution makes it easy to switch between different types of PDFs, the real version does not and does not have the feature of searching text within PDF documents.

Gradual upgrades to the Android platform by Google contributed to the inside-out PDF overview that can be found in the Files app. Those who prefer to download such files to their devices may find that all they need is a suitable PDF viewer, and they will no longer need any of these applications to access PDF files.

Soon, users will be able to open their PDFs right in the Files app, adding to the convenience. Overall, they will appreciate the integration with their everyday work, making the overall experience even better. On the other hand, with the huge increase in productivity, one cannot fail to admit that the current version does not provide text search capability in PDF. Although Google can probably dedicate its efforts to enhancing its products, we should expect improvements in the next releases.
