Question: Does a PDF reader exist for the Switch?

[jawnstraps]

Looking into options to use my switch vertically as a PDF reader. It looks like there are a few out there but they're all abandonware at this point and tend to crash atmosphere more often than not from what I've gathered. Are there any other alternatives to view PDFs on my switch, or are we SOL until someone comes along and builds one thats up to date with the latest codebase?

PDF is a garbage format done in a so f*cked up way that noone else can understand it fully than Adobe. You can read articles from former open source maintainers how Adobe did everything in their power for that format to make no sense at all, but somehow Adobe Reader is still working properly with them which looks like a deliberate move. No wonder every open source model that tried to be on par with Adobe Reader compatibility is an abandonware.

Every other alternative than Adobe Reader has only partial PDF support at best.
