Answer 3

Just go through in net, there are some pdf readers in android namely..

Android PDF Viewer VuDroid droidreader android-pdf APDFViewer I think most of these are use JNI(In native load C,C++ library) to render pdf file. So You have to some basic knowledge of how JNI works.

Or If you want to make your own PDF reader then you can use any third party C,C++ library for render PDF file and build a shared library and make a call from your android app (Using JNI) but is to hard work(I know I gone through this process).. :-) All the best..!

Answer 4

This might help.

http://andpdf.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/andpdf/trunk/

it is the source code for adobe pdf reader. Now if you want to insert voice output in it you can update this application using TTS (Text to Speech) Class for android.

You can get help about TTS class from this link:

Of course it's possible, there are a lot of PDF reading/rendering library out there, just pick up the one you like. For the voice, starting with Android 1.6, there's a TTS (Text-To-Speech) API available: http://developer.android.com/resources/articles/tts.html
