B4A Library Radaee PDFviewer

For all who are interested in the radaeePDF Reader.

The good thing on this this library runns on Android 2.2+
The bad thing, the price is high (600€+) for one App because the License is tied to the package ID

I had some trouble to find out how to activate the License, because the guys at Radaee have some problems to explain their product to future customers

There is the free Wrapper at:
https://github.com/gearit/RadaeePDF-B4A

You need Eclipse for this to work. (Or another way to compile JARs)

After downloading and extracting of the wrapper you should import the project in Eclipse.
Import->Genral-> Existing Project into Workspace

Then you have to edit the Global.java at
RadaeePDF-B4A-master\Source\Wrapper\RSPDFViewer\src\com\radaee\pdf
Around Line 527 you find a block of commented lines:
Depending on your License (Standard, Professional, Premium) you need to UnComment the right lines.

boolean succeeded = activeStandard(act, "YourCompany",
"YourEmail", "YOUR-EXPENSIVE-LICENSE-KEY-00000-00000");

Save and Export as .jar

The jar File will be about 5MB. You can overwrite the existing one in the "RadaeePDF-B4A-master\Libraries" Folder.

Drop the 3 Files:
PDFViewer.jar
PDFViewer.xml
pdfviewer_native.jar

into your B4A Additional Libraries Folder and you are ready.

Thats all
A little bit annoying but working.
I have no clue why Radaee cannot have an knowledge base article about it on their Website...

Hope that helps.

Editor as well.
Check http://www.radaeepdf.com/

Just to clarify a bit more. I needed a Reader that works on 4+, could handle large documents and save BMPs from a certain page. All solutions I found here were either slow, had huge problems with difficult PDF structures such as transparent images and vector graphics and/or had problems with the bitmap rendering.
So these guys have a good working but unfortunately ridiculous expensive solution.

Do you mean we can use it without a license? Or we can test it first? Is that a trial version of the library?

you can use it without license in Demo Mode. You get a Watermark on the PDF, that´s all.
