HomeBrew PDF viewer with sending PDF

[marek1]

Is it possible to develop:

1. HomeBrew PDF viewer with sending PDF instead the Adobe's Reader ?
2. HomeBrew PDF sender which access to Isolated Storage of Adobe's Reader ?

Thanks for info.

1. Yes of course but it's really hard and complex task. Also, you can't assign your viewer as a default PDF viewer.
2. No for regular MP apps (you can't access someone else sandbox), but very possible for interop-unlocked handset.

question 1:
Yes, but I think is really difficult.
To associate PDF extension with your app you have to change registry keys on device (HKCR\.pdf sends you to HKCR\PDFFile that contains the appId to use to open pdfs), but on unlocked device only

question 2:
Yes, but on unlocked device only

Yes, that's why I wrote that I want HOMEBREW APP not official.

"You want" or "you want to write app"? If first - you may forget about it The only hope - if someone will port that project http://sourceforge.net/projects/clown/ to WP7 SL.

You can always replicate the existing adobe reader app, than by using reflector copy the code, than modify it according your needs.
The reading part is being done by some dll which you can use.

Now instead of rerouting the pdfs to a different folder just use the same app ID and overwrite the official app. Now all pdfs end up in your custom build pdf reader.

Good luck

If someone else will develop it.

Will someone develop it ?

or hoping that there is an usable user control in Adobe Reader's DLL

On unlocked devices the following could be done:

a homebrew app which syncs the isolated storage folder of the Adope Reader with the My Documents folder (manual sync and maybe a background task which syncs both folder in a predefined interval). This would give us the possibility to send .pdf´s via email or upload them to skydrive via the Office Hub.

Atm I copy my pdf´s with a filebrowser to the MyDocuments folder and all works fine but it would be nice to have an app which could make life easier.

I´m not able to write such an app but I know that it´s possible.

spavlin,

1. Do this apps allow to switch as be default PDF reader ?
2. Do this apps allow to send PDF files via email ?

If not both of them why do you put it here ?

Hi!

Just a sidenote:

Adobe Reader for WP7 sucks as it lacks the reflow option which is quite useful for reading documents on little displays. If someone starts to develop please keep in mind this function.

Regadrs,
Cina.

All those Marketplace apps are crap because they don´t replace the original pdf-reader.

Currently there is no app which can do what you want. The only solution is a homebrew app.

Yes, does somoone create homebrew pdf app which can:
1. Send Pdf via email
2. Be the default pdf app

Uhm, you could get the .xap of the original Adobe Reader app, and decompile it. Then you could add the functions you need to the officially app. It sould not be that complicated but some annoying work, I guess...

did you try the PDF Move app?
