FastPdfKit is an Objective-C static library for embedding fast PDF viewing in iOS applications, offering features like page sliding, search with highlighted results, thumbnails, bookmarks, outlines, and text extraction. It was designed as a high-performance alternative to QuickLook for displaying PDF documents on iPhone and iPad.

Use cases

  • display pdf documents inside an ios app
  • render pdfs faster than quicklook on iphone and ipad
  • add pdf search with highlighted results to a mobile app
  • generate pdf page thumbnails natively on ios
  • build a pdf reader with bookmarks and table of contents
  • extract text from pdf pages in an ios application
  • show single or double page pdf layouts with zoom

When to choose

  • you maintain a legacy Objective-C iOS app that already uses it
  • you need a self-contained PDF reader UI for older iOS versions
  • you want built-in thumbnails, bookmarks, and outline support without building it yourself

When to avoid

  • you are starting a new iOS project - the library is unmaintained since 2019
  • you need Swift-first or modern iOS SDK PDF rendering (use PDFKit)
  • you require ongoing support, security fixes, or recent iOS compatibility
  • you need a cross-platform PDF solution
