PDF – NOTE: PDF support is limited to scanned images such as FAXes, NOT text or vector graphics. This is useful if you know your PDF file contains scanned images because FIV can view and navigate it much quicker than other PDF viewers.
I recently made a change to the free version of FIV where it now detects ad blocking by looking at the /etc/hosts file and won’t run if Google or Admob server requests are being redirected to localhost. Some Cyanogenmod builds include a modified hosts file setup to block ads, so even if you haven’t installed an ad blocker program your device is blocking ads. You can restore the default hosts file to get FIV working. What’s amusing is the indignation of some users. Here’s a recent comment:
“Will not let me use the free app because I have an add blocker on my phone. Do not tell me what to do with my personal property.”
Basically this user is saying – I’m stealing from you, and I’m mad that you’re stopping me.
Ad-supported software is not completely free. In exchange for getting functional software without paying, you’re shown advertisements.
Includes a fast and powerful file browser which displays a large thumbnail image and file details. Long press on the name for the option to share the image (email, mms, etc) or set it as the background wallpaper.
FIV is great at viewing large black & white scanned images. Unique technology allows for incredibly fast decoding and readable scale-to-gray (anti-aliased) views. Navigate between pages/files in milliseconds even on less powerful phones.
FIV supports animated GIF and FLI/FLC in a unique way. See your files animate in the file browser and main window. Pinch zoom and pan while image is animating. FIV is able to view just about any image, but is also a competent animated GIF player.
Friendly GUI allows fast navigation between pages/files with simple swipe gestures and pinch-to-zoom.
Use FIV as a stand-alone file browser/viewer or as the default image viewer for email attachments etc.
FIV is capable of viewing well logs faster than any other software available. As an oil/gas/water well log viewer, FIV can open scans up to 80 x 300 inches (@400dpi).
FIV now includes the ability to export any file (e.g. multi-page TIFF) as a PDF file. It also allows you to save a page in another format (JPEG, PNG, PDF, TIFF, BMP).
The addition of DICOM support is preliminary and is based on our proprietary code. If you find this useful and would like to see more DICOM specific features, please contact us.

I like this viewer quite as much as I like CoolUtils Photo Viewer, except the latter won’t run on Android, but I hope it will one day
