LumasAndroid
Shared objects for all four Android ABIs.
Native library Mobile android
Who this is for: Android apps calling the engine through JNI.
arm64-v8a, armeabi-v7a, x86 and x86_64 each carry libLumasPdf.so. Drop them into jniLibs/ and the packager picks the right one per device.
The download is public and needs no key. Unlicensed output carries an evaluation watermark and nothing else is restricted.
Is this the right package for you?
Best for
Your Android application works with PDF on the device — filling forms offline, rendering, or producing a document to share.
Not the right choice when
You have a server that could do the work. On-device is for offline capability, not for saving backend cost.
What is in the download
Generated from the packaging script, not from a description. Each row names the build output the binary came from.

Install
Copy each ABI directory into app/src/main/jniLibs/Your first PDF
The smallest complete program: create, write, close.
#include "lumaspdf.h"
/* call from JNI; the API is the C one */How it deploys
Shared objects per ABI, bundled into the APK or AAB. The build strips the ABIs you do not ship.

Two different questions, answered separately, because for one package today they have different answers.

What you can build with it
The same documented API is behind every package. These are the areas most of it is in.

Questions about this package
Do I pay a royalty for every copy I ship?
No. Every edition is royalty-free: you may redistribute the engine inside your own application to as many end users as you like, with no per-copy fee and no runtime licence for them to accept.
Does the licence need to phone home or be activated?
No. Your build verifies the key locally, in your process. There is no activation call, no deactivation, and no server for us to take down — which is why the engine works in an air-gapped network and in a container that scales to zero.
What happens when my maintenance period ends?
Nothing stops working. A key licenses any build released on or before your coverage date, forever, including in production. Maintenance decides which BUILDS the key covers, never when it expires — the engine compares against a build date and never against the clock.
What does the free download do without a key?
Everything. The download is public and unrestricted and needs no key to run; unlicensed output simply carries an evaluation watermark. Register and we send a trial key that removes it, so you can evaluate the real output before you buy.
Can we buy on a purchase order and get a VAT invoice?
Yes. Request a quote and we will price the configuration, invoice against your PO, and show the VAT treatment for your country on the quote itself rather than after checkout.
Try Android before you decide
Public download, no account, no card. Register only when you want the evaluation watermark gone.
