So.. If I'm trying to open a .pdf file from my ios app, it will open a pdf, without a navigation control (no close/back button to my app - like in attached photo) https://postimg.org/image/8rtst9fv5/ – Just 4Fun Dec 09 '16 at 13:03

Cordova-PDFReader-IOS To install from command line:

cordova plugin add com.lesfrancschatons.cordova.plugins.pdfreader

Supported URI scheme: file For other schemes, please download it first with cordova plugin fileTransfer.

//Open a pdf
PDFReader.open('absolutepath.pdf', options, success, error);

//Available options
{
    password: null,
    flatUI: true,
    showShadows: true,
    enableThumbs: true,
    disableRetina: false,
    enablePreview: true,
    bookmarks: true,
    landscapeDoublePage: true,

//Event when PDF Reader is closed

//Clear PDF Reader cache
PDFReader.clearCache(filePath, finishedCallback);
