Hi everyone,
I’m planning to develop a cross-platform PDF viewer app for iOS and macOS that will read PDFs from local storage and cloud services (Google Drive, iCloud, WorkDrive, etc.). The app should be read-only and display both the PDF content and its metadata (author, title, creation date, etc.).
Key Features:
View PDFs: Local and remote (cloud storage integration).
Display metadata: Title, author, page count, etc.
Cloud integration: Google Drive, iCloud, Zoho WorkDrive, etc.
Read-only mode: No editing features, just viewing.
Questions:
Xcode Template: Should I use the Document App or Generic App template for this?
PDF Metadata: Any built-in libraries for extracting PDF metadata in a read-only app?
Performance: Any advice or documentation on handling large PDFs or cloud fetching efficiently?
Thanks in advance for any advice or resources!
Pranam
