PDFTron full or standard? Which version is for me?
This tutorial only applies to Xamarin.Android.
PDFTron library comes in two versions: full and standard.
In order to help our customers to create applications with a smaller APK size, the standard version omits a number of features such as:
Convert,Optimizer,Redactor,Flattener,DocumentPreviewCache,ReflowProcessorclasses- PDF/A validation/conversion (i.e.
PDFACompliance) - Converting PDF pages to TIFF format (i.e.
PDFDrawwill not work when using these formats)
Rendering speed and quality are the same for both versions of the library.
The following table compares the APK size of a sample project in which different architecture and PDFTron library versions were used.
| PDFTron library | Architecture | the sample APK size |
|---|---|---|
| Full | armeabi | 16 MB |
| Full | armeabi-v7a | 15 MB |
| Full | arm64-v8a | 16 MB |
| Full | x86 | 16 MB |
| Full | x86_64 | 17 MB |
| Full | combined | 64 MB |
| Standard | armeabi | 9 MB |
| Standard | armeabi-v7a | 9 MB |
| Standard | arm64-v8a | 9 MB |
| Standard | x86 | 10 MB |
| Standard | x86_64 | 10 MB |
| Standard | combined | 31 MB |
Here are some scenarios to help you decide which one to use:
- I need minimum size possible and I only need to render PDFs
Standard version - I want to use the Demo package
Full version - I need to display non-pdf documents
Full version - I need to display documents with reflow
Full version - I need to optimize, redact, or flatten PDFs
Full version - I need to convert PDF pages to TIFF formats
Full version - I need to build a file browser that displays all files on a device with first page preview for each
Full version - I need right to left support
Full version
