I want to open a file (pdf file to be exact) in iOS and Android through my cocos2d-x Project. It is to serve as help in my game. Is there any way to do so. I found we can open it in webview but how to do so on both iOS and android?
Thanks in advance
Short answer is no! Cocos2d family does not natively support PDF.
However, you can use open source C++ libraries to convert PDF to PNG on fly and load it as a texture in cocos2d-x.
My recommendation is to covert pdf to png on a PC and load png in cocos2d-x.
I did it using WebView both on Android and iOS. Also #kasra was correct and his way too works as a solution.

I need open an PDF file that is in an url. I need open it with an PDF Viewer...
It is possible?
Thanks for all.
Best regards.
I suggest using the ChildBrowser plugin and using Google's viewer to actualy open the PDF (since Android doesn't have a default PDF viewer).
So you can open a PDF like this:
onclick='window.plugins.childBrowser.showWebPage(encodeURI("http://docs.google.com/viewer?url=' + pdfLink + '"));
in android (i don't know phonegap) there are many pdf viewer libraries.
like Android-Pdf-Viewer-Library
or Droid Text
or MuPDF
or APV Pdf Viewer
if you develope your application commercial and don't want to pay any money
use first one.

I'm currently working on an app that loads files and adds effects to the images. One of the formats suppose to support is PDF. I used leadtools libs for the rasterrizing pdfs (converting pdf into raster images) and some image effects.
Hope this helps.
PDF isn't made up of images, they're vectors,.
couple open-source java PDF to Image converters

On desktop I've used iText java library for that kind of task. Not sure if its Android compatible but worth of giving a shot as its easy to implement.
