FOSS Android PDF reader recommendations?
(lemm.ee)
I don't know if muPDF Viewer is, technically, free software, but i use it for the completely minimal UI. You can only read and search, it's very limited in a good way.
It is, and you can get it on F-Droid. I like how quickly it loads while still having all necessary features.
You only need Librera Reader if you want an ebook library manager with dozens of customizable features. In which case, get it on F-Droid to get all of them for free.
I used to use MJ PDF, but recently switched to the built-in PDF reader for FOSS MiX file explorer.
Graphenes PDF Viewer is a good option.
Yeah, but It's very robust and simplistic
Add KDE's repository to F-droid and download Okular.
Whoa I didn't know Okular had a mobile version. Thanks, gotta give it a try!
I haven't been on Android in a few years but it looks like Librera Reader is still being maintained. Works great but somewhat large file size due to being a full-featured e-book/document reader rather than just PDF.

It's dead but it works. Don't use on untrusted documents
