Hello there, are there any FOSS Android apps out there that serve as both a reader and a vault for PDFs? I want to be able to encrypt the PDF files and decrypt+read them with a single vault password.

I could just encrypt PDF files separately using the same password, but it’s not really that convenient having to go through several PDFs tbh.

I want to store the PDFs on the storage of my phone.

UPDATE: Safe Space is exactly what I needed, ty @chemicalwonka@discuss.tchncs.de, will provide a review of the app later

you can use Safe Space app, it uses your device keystore to encrypt your vault and the PDF file is opened inside it

Yep, I searched for “Safe Place” as was originally in your comment and found “Safe Space” seconds later, which I assumed what you were referring to

green pass pdf wallet ☞ https://f-droid.org/packages/com.michaeltroger.gruenerpass/ or https://github.com/michaeltroger/greenpass-android

This app is a simple to use PDF Wallet. That means it takes over the task to store and display your most important PDF certificates.
