Show PDF Inline File for iOS in Flutter

Question

I am developing an App in flutter specifically for iOS (at this stage) and I need to add PDF file(s) to it. The problem is that flutter has no native way to display PDF files (as far as I researched).

From this tread it looks like it shouldn't it be too difficult to add PDF support to iOS devices using this plugin. However, I am still confused about how exactly to integrate it into my Flutter Application.

Any help would be appreciated!

Answer 1

If you are looking for quick and easy way to display PDF, this might be the one.

pdf_flutter

Load PDF from network:

PDF.network(
        'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/FlutterInThai/Dart-for-Flutter-Sheet-cheet/master/Dart-for-Flutter-Cheat-Sheet.pdf',
        height: 500,
        width: 300,
        )

Load PDF from files:

File fileName;  
PDF.file(
    fileName,
    height: 200,
    width: 100,
)

Load PDF from assets:

PDF.assets(
    "assets/pdf/demo.pdf",
    height: 200,
    width: 100,
)

Answer 2

When I was implementing the functionality for PDF viewer, there was no PDF plugin.

However, funny enough a friend at work found out that there is already a PDF viewer implemented for Flutter here, which we ended up using.

Note: At the time of writing the question, 16.08 there was not yet any plugin available. The mentioned was created on 30.08.
