You will get the source code of the app that you see in the video demo. Nothing more or less than what the video demo shows. Feel free to ask questions before buying. This app was created using the latest version of Xcode. The main user interface was developed using SwiftUI and all PDF related flows are built using UIKit. Here are some of the PDF supported features: searching the current page or the entire document, jumping to a specific page, table of contents, horizontal/vertical scrolling, continuous and one page at a time scrolling, editing features like text highlighting, adding text/shapes/stickers, drawing, signature, and much more. All PDF Editing features are provided by Apple, ensuring top-tier user experience and functionality.
What do I need to get started?
You will need a Mac computer with Xcode 15+. This app requires iOS 15+. All app templates on this website are for iPhones without iPad support. An AdMob account is necessary if you want to show ads in the app. We provide you with some basic PDF documentation on how to replace the AdMob Interstitial Ad identifiers, and how to replace the in-app purchase product identifier. You will need a Firebase account, where you will have to create your own eBook categories, upload eBook Covers and PDFs.
How does it work?
- The app features five main tabs, each offering extensive functionality. The Home tab showcases Trending and Featured eBooks/PDFs, all sourced from Firebase. The app supports PDF files only via Firebase.
- For quick access to various interests, the Categories tab presents a grid of categories. Create a Categories folder in Firebase Storage and add your own category images that match the Firebase category document IDs. You can designate categories as premium, and specific eBooks can also be set as premium.
- Upon selecting a document, the app launches a custom PDF reading experience built with UIKit. This includes powerful features such as search, page navigation, editing, and bookmarking. The robust PDF functionality can even be extracted and used as a standalone app for PDF reading and editing, essentially providing two apps in one.
- Users can set multiple bookmarks within a document and easily access specific bookmarked pages. The app remembers where the user left off, ensuring that they can resume reading from the exact page when they reopen the document.
- When a document is opened, it is automatically downloaded for offline use. This feature is particularly useful for reading on airplanes or in any situation where internet access is unavailable.
- Additional features include advanced PDF editing capabilities such as annotating, highlighting, and adding text or shapes. The app supports both vertical and horizontal scrolling, continuous or page-by-page viewing, and personalized settings to enhance the reading experience.
- The app includes a robust document management system, allowing users to organize their documents, track reading progress, and manage their favorites with ease.
- In-App Purchases are handled via a private framework. This framework doesn't support subscriptions. You can use this framework for any other games/apps you want to add in-app purchases.
