PDF library without GPL

I am looking for a PDF Viewer library for Android without a GPL license, does anyone have any ideas if there is any free license library available for this?

Since I was roaming and found some open source libraries such as MuPDF, Android PDF Viewer, DroidReader uses the GPL license, which I cannot use for the commercial application that I am going to develop.

And no, I also do not want to use the google docs parameter; -)

MuPDF is GPL-ed, yes.

Using third-party GPL-ed components in your software does not prohibit its commercial use (you just need to release the source code for your software). So ... your problem is not in the GPL as such, it is that you do not want to release the source code, right?

But ... Artifex (the company behind MuPDF, Ghostscript, GhostXPS and GhostPCL) is ready to provide you with a license for MuPDF (as well as other products) for commercial use , which then does not require the publication of the source code of your material.

You can buy a commercial license for MuPDF.

Contact sales@artifex.com according to their web page (I am not connected to them in any way). Since DroidReader uses its libraries, I think their reader is pretty decent.

I found a good solution for the needs of our company (we adopted Radaee PDF ), we began our assessment and exploration here : I think this is one of the most comprehensive here.
