Need to Show PDFs in FlutterFlow? Check Out My New Custom Widget!

Hey FlutterFlow Community!

I'm excited to share a custom widget I've been working on and recently published to the FlutterFlow Marketplace: a PDF Viewer Widget!

Link to Marketplace: https://marketplace.flutterflow.io/item/bvOjoh90ldtnokPTM5xi

What problem does it solve?
Displaying PDF documents directly within a FlutterFlow app can sometimes be a bit challenging. I created this widget to provide a straightforward way to render and view PDF files (like reports, invoices, eBooks, documents, etc.) without needing users to leave your application.FlutterFlow does have its own PDFViewer widget, but sometimes a custom solution offers different flexibility or specific features.

Key Features (Based on your Marketplace Listing & common needs):

  • Display PDFs directly within your app layout.

  • Load PDFs from network URLs.

  • Provides a seamless user experience for viewing documents.

Why I built it:

  • "I needed this functionality for one of my own projects and thought others might find it useful too."

  • "I saw some discussions here in the community about PDF viewing options and decided to build a solution."

How to Use:

  1. Get the widget from the FlutterFlow Marketplace

  2. Add it to your project like any other custom widget.

  3. Configure the necessary parameters.

    This is the first version, and I'd love to hear your feedback! Please check it out, let me know if you find it useful, encounter any bugs, or have suggestions for future improvements. How do you plan on using it in your apps?

Thanks!
