Does Expo have a way to view a PDF and jump to a specific page in said PDF. I've looked into https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-native-pdf but i found it to be incompatible with expo given its use of native React-Native libraries. I've also tried https://github.com/xcarpentier/rn-pdf-reader-js, but there appears to be a couple of issues with it and it doesn't look like the creator updates it anymore.

rn-pdf-reader-js seems to be not working for the expo 38+. You can try this fork instead:
https://github.com/stratoss/rn-pdf-reader-js
Just import it as import PDFReader from '@bildau/rn-pdf-reader' and you are good to go.
"rn-pdf-reader-js": "^4.1.1"
"expo": "^40.0.0"
The library work just fine for me in their latest version the only issue comes around that the base64 contain octet-stream so i replace it with pdf like that:
setBase64(reader.result.replace("octet-stream", "pdf"))
and pass it to the source like that:
<PdfReader
source={{
base64: base64,
}}
/>
I hope this helps you. otherwise, please provide us more details about so we can help.
