Display PDF on Android Web Browser | No Download Required

If you want to display a PDF on an Android web browser without requiring the user to download it, there are a few options available.

One option is to use Google Drive. First, upload the PDF to your Google Drive account. Then, create a shareable link for the file. Finally, use the link to embed the PDF in your website using the <iframe> tag.

Another option is to use a PDF.js library. This library allows you to render PDF files in a web browser without requiring any plugins or downloads. You can use the library by including the <script> tag in your HTML code.

Here's an example of code you can use to display a PDF on an Android web browser without requiring a download:

<iframe src="https://drive.google.com/file/d/your-pdf-file-id-goes-here/preview" width="100%" height="500px"></iframe>

<script src="https://mozilla.github.io/pdf.js/build/pdf.js"></script>
<script>
  // Fetch the PDF document from the URL using promises
  pdfjsLib.getDocument('your-pdf-file-url-goes-here').promise.then(function(pdf) {
    // Render the PDF pages using promises
    var viewer = document.getElementById('pdf-viewer');
    for(var pageNumber=1; pageNumber <= pdf.numPages; pageNumber++) {
      pdf.getPage(pageNumber).then(function(page) {
        var scale = 1.5;
        var viewport = page.getViewport({ scale: scale });
        var canvas = document.createElement('canvas');
        var context = canvas.getContext('2d');
        canvas.height = viewport.height;
        canvas.width = viewport.width;
        viewer.appendChild(canvas);
        page.render({ canvasContext: context, viewport: viewport });
      });
    }
  });
</script>

By using one of these options, you can display a PDF on an Android web browser without requiring the user to download it.
