Folio PDF is an attempt to bring modern PDF reader (and writer) capabilities to AROS.

It works with PDF 1.x and 2.0. It has a Zune interface, supports searching through the PDF, zoom in/zoom out, annotations with Save and Save As, outline and internal and external link.

Love the readability of it. One think I prefer Google docs to open office is how ease it is to eyes, and yours is also very nice

coffeecat, congratulations! I tested it and it looks great. My question is: is it possible to increase the font size? I did notice, though, that Zoom exists.
If you're on board, Folio will be the official reader for AROS One. Thanks!

Sweet, all this development I'm seeing here is really making AROS a contender for a daily driver ... at least for me

Of course! more than happy to have it everywhere Smile It's built to be used.

There are already some updates, and 0.3.5 (now testing) should be quite fast and stable. Font size is tricky and rarely changed because changing the text size will change the page layout. It's not impossible, but I'm not sure if it's worth the effort. When I check the magazine view (side-by-side pages), I will likely check out full screen/collapsed margins

Good to hear. I returned to the Amiga ecosystem and picked up AROS because that's what motivates me. I spoke with Jonx today, so I know there are at least two of us, and I hope there are more: The goal is to build up the software and AROS itself so it can serve as a daily driver for more people. A system you can use every day that handles at least 80% of the regular tasks you'd perform on any other operating system. I have my fingers crossed for Chromium and I hope that the port of Skia will help us to update the Odyssey browser.

But let's stay here on the topic of the PDF reader.

Yeah, updating Odyssey is on my TODO list and your Skia port will help Smile
