How to display the contents of a PDF document using pdfbox in Android

Question

I want to use PDFbox to read and display the contents of a PDF document. I can extract the text from the PDF document using PDFTextStripper.

My problem is how can I display all the contents in PDF document as it is? I want to display the PDF document like it is displayed in the applications like Adobe reader. Is it possible using the PDFBox in Android?

You could export the PDF document as images and display those. You can find an example here.
