Open multiple pdfs in one window

The other idea is to install several different reader apps, but this is a horrible, ugly solution, and I assume I'll have to either pay up or accept ads. Then I heard about 'Dolphin' which supposedly has a PDF plugin, but after trying the browser out, before even getting to the stage of downloading the plugin, it's clear that this app is buggy and useless.įrankly, I'm not in love with the idea of using a web browser for this task anyway. This actually works, but PDF.js is so ridiculously slow that this is not a viable option. The next failed idea was to use Firefox and PDF.js. So files are opened in their standalone 'Reader' app. The next after that (option 3) would simply be to have two files open but use the app switcher to jump back and forth between them.Īt first I thought that I'd be able to use Firefox as a container and could make option 3 work - but Adobe don't seem to have released their NSAPI plug-in for Android. The next best thing (option 2) is a tabbed interface where I can see the files one at a time but switch between them. Ideally I'd like some sort of MDI interface where I can view files side-by-side. However, it seems like 'doing more than one thing at once' is a concept which has yet to be invented in the tablet world. Now let us see how we can open multiple files in multiple browser windows using all the above mentioned features.

replace True if the new location will replace the current page in the history list. I would like to open two PDF files at the same time. Like, should it have a toolbar, the address bar or should the window be sizeable etc.
