// Once, in Application.onCreate()
PdfEditorSdk.setLicenseKey("PE1.eyJ2Ijox…")

setContent {
    PdfEditorScreen(
        pdfPath = file.absolutePath,
        onSave = { bytes -> file.writeBytes(bytes) },
        onClose = { finish() },
    )
}

Everything your users need, in your Android app.

Change the text already in the PDF, in any script — its font, size and colour — then move, rotate or restack it.

Built for Android.

  • Compose and Views

    Use the editor as a Compose screen, or as a View in Fragments and Java code. You get the edited PDF back as bytes.

  • Gradle

    Add one dependency from the Maven repository that comes with your license.

  • Make it yours

    Choose the modes and tools, hide menu items, rename, re-icon and reorder them, add your own actions, set the colour scheme.

  • Edit and sign from code

    A document API makes the same kinds of edits without the editor, and documents can be signed without opening it.

  • Ready for Google Play

    Supports 16 KB memory pages, which Google Play requires for apps that target Android 15 or later.

  • Localized

    Translate the editor’s text into your users’ languages.

Full Android guide

Add a Kotlin PDF editor in three steps.

  1. 1

    Add the dependency

    The SDK is the Maven artifact com.pdfsdk:pdfeditor. It comes with your license, as a hosted registry or a zip you unpack into your project.

  2. 2

    Set your license key

    In Application.onCreate, which runs before any activity. The key must list your app’s package name.

  3. 3

    Show the editor

    Use PdfEditorScreen in Jetpack Compose, or PdfEditorView with Views, Fragments and Java. Hand it a file path and get the edited bytes back.
