If only Roku and Android TV boxes had a way to display pdf's on the TV!

Hint hint hint!!!

After all, they can display movies, pictures, and music. PDFs, please! I'd even pay for it.

I usually cast them from my ipad to the tv.

My ipad may be a very expensive PDF reader but it's bloody good at it.

I understand it not working on a Roku but why couldn’t you use an android pdf reader?
I looked up the android tv box on Amazon. Doesn't support pdfs.
You could always open the pdf on your phone and cast your phone screen.
Yes, and I could hook up my laptop to the TV, too. But I bought the Roku box because it's so much more convenient than dinking around with the laptop.
