My Android app (made with the Hollywood APK Compiler) crashes when I use pdf.OpenDocument() to load a PDF linked as an asset using GetAsset().

A related question (possibly a work-around):
Is there a way to link a PDF file to an executable with a preprocessor command, such as @FILE?

Thanks for the report, I'll check what's wrong there.

As for a workaround, you could try something like this:

@FILE 1, "test.pdf"
data$ = ReadBytes(1)
vfile$ = DefineVirtualFileFromString(data$, "test.pdf")
pdf.OpenDocument(1, vfile$)
data$ = Nil
vfile$ = Nil

I haven't tested it but it should work... if it doesn't file another bug report

Thanks! (That work-around works perfectly.)

- Fix [Android]: Querying file attributes on an asset or using DOSBase.FStat() on it led to a crash
