  • dangerzone

    Take potentially dangerous PDFs, office documents, or images and convert them to safe PDFs

  • Use dangerzone to create safe PDF files, although in my experience it doesn't complete the conversion for some PDF files.

  • PdfViewer

    Simple Android PDF viewer based on pdf.js and content providers. The app doesn't require any permissions. The PDF stream is fed into the sandboxed WebView without giving it access to content or files. CSP is used to enforce that the JavaScript and styling properties within the WebView are entirely static.

  • Yeah it's not on F-Droid. It's in Google Play and they do publish APKs directly on their download page.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
