PDF Shelve

About

PDF Shelve is a lightweight, dependency-free PDF reader for Android that renders documents using only the native Android PdfRenderer API. Your documents live on a warm wood-and-shelf themed library where you can organize them into categories, search, and pick up reading right where you left off. It offers both scroll and swipe page navigation, smooth pinch-to-zoom, a night reading mode, and auto-scroll — all while keeping every file on your device.
