A library of 45+ cross-functional Flutter components.
Quality improvements that modernize his previously built app.
Implementation that only takes minutes.
Introduction
Thomas David is a senior developer and software architect in the healthcare industry. He also works as an independent consultant on various development projects, including software implementation and application modernization.
Problem Summary
Thomas developed software for production companies years ago using C++. Over time, the app became outdated, but since it’s still used, he needed to update it. One of the biggest issues was that users had to download PDFs locally to view them, instead of being able to read them in the app. He looked for Flutter packages that could provide this functionality because he liked Flutter’s ability to target both web and Windows platforms, and came across Syncfusion Essential Studio®.
“Syncfusion is the most powerful and the most promising [option] concerning cross-platform capabilities.”
– Thomas David, Senior Developer and Software Architect.
BEFORE SYNCFUSION
Challenges
- Outdated app that can’t render PDFs.
- Disparate solutions that don’t work together seamlessly.
AFTER SYNCFUSION
Solutions
- App that uses the Flutter PDF Viewer to provide rich PDF functionality, including annotations and form filling.
- A trusted, stable vendor for Flutter packages.
Results
Thomas’s updated application now allows his clients to render large, complex, and structured PDF documents reliably.
Future Plan
Thomas, now confident in his ability to update old projects with Syncfusion’s help, plans to explore more of the components that Essential Studio has to offer.
Conclusion
With only a small investment of time to find Syncfusion and implement the Flutter PDF Viewer, Thomas has transformed a well-used app into a well-loved one. He looks forward to finding out new ways to use Syncfusion components to speed up his development process and increase the quality of his products.
