DWF Viewer for Android - Open Design Web Format Files

Design Web Format (DWF) was created by Autodesk so CAD designs could be reviewed without handing over the editable source drawing. Construction and manufacturing teams send DWF packages to colleagues and clients who have no CAD software at all, and many of those people work from an Android tablet on site.

GroupDocs.Viewer Cloud renders DWF packages server-side, and the response holds PDF, HTML, JPG or PNG pages that any Android device can show. Dense drawings need zoom, which the API provides alongside page navigation and thumbnails. Individual sheets can be rendered instead of the whole package.

An Android SDK for Java handles the REST requests and responses, and working samples arrive with it from Maven or Gradle. A single integration also reads DWG, DXF and the remaining 180+ supported formats, so mixed CAD archives need no special cases.

For a quick look at one drawing, the browser-based GroupDocs.Viewer app is free to use. Evaluation is covered by a free trial, with the API Explorer available for trying requests.
