Description
Very simple app, that does nothing more than conveniently storing and displaying PDF certificates. You can use it for public transport tickets, bills, contracts, certificates and any other PDF file.
The PDF file has to be imported into the app. Following the barcode is displayed in fullscreen, as well as the PDF document itself. That's already it.

Currently supported barcode formats are:
- Matrix (2D) codes: QR, Aztec, DataMatrix and PDF417
- Linear (1D) codes: UPC-A, UPC-E, EAN-8, EAN-13, CODE-39, CODE-93, CODE-128, ITF and Codabar

More Features
- Can detect and extract barcodes in PDFs
- (Optional) fingerprint authentication
- PDFs can be individually sorted and named
- PDFs can be opened
- PDFs can be shared from other apps
- PDFs can be shared with other apps (indirectly allows printing)
- Dark Mode support
- Supports also password protected PDFs
- Two different layouts to choose from

Why does the generated barcode look differently than the one in the PDF?
The algorithm to display is different. For reading devices the code is identical.

Ratings and reviews

First, this is a free and ad free app. So, even if it will crash at some point, if you rate it less than five star, that means you have a problem with your character. Just move on, someone tried his best and worked for this for free. Second, the app is exactly what I need. It works perfect, it's simple and everything went flowless. Good job.

Absolutely the best and one of the must useful apps. It's a Must have. I have shared this with many people and use it on many devices. An added plus is that it's FOSS and available on Fdroid as well! Some features I would love but are not required: - Ability to remember scroll position of a PDF even after the app is closed - Ability to Go to a page In a pdf

One of the most useful apps I've ever used. Tickets, travel tickets, and anything with a qr code. And it has a clean, ad-free, easy-to-use UI. I just love it.
