Nubexx UI5 PDF Viewer
The Nubexx PDF Viewer can be used on all device types (desktop, tablet and phone).
It extends the UI5 PDF Viewer (sap.m.PDFViewer), so this control can replace the SAP control transparently.
The PDF render engine is based on Mozilla's PDF.js with enhanced customizing features for
this PDF viewer.
