All graphics would have to be PNG, JPEG, etc. Secondly, there is no filesystem access, so you can't get a list of files in any particular folder. The FBW A320 allows people to upload their own charts.

This is currently a planned feature, not yet completed, and would be done with the aid of an external process (like our external MCDU). There is no way to accomplish this completely in-sim, as Matt mentioned. Please do not contact me via DM for support or help with the A32NX mod. We recommend using our help channel on our Discord.
June 9, 20224 yr So is the reason this is so far only done with charts from Navigraph that this company offers their charts in a non-pdf format to be easily integrated into the various airctraft ? my African sceneries for MSFS : https://darshonaut.blogspot.com/p/msfs-2020.html
June 9, 20224 yr I have navigraph, and while the efb feature seems cool, I vastly prefer looking at my navigraph charts on my actual iPad or the in game navigraph app, than on the virtual efb. Wonder if anyone has coded a widget to display local PDFs on a separate in game app. Would have uses beyond charts as well… manuals, checklists, etc…

June 9, 20224 yr The EFB is a full blown web browser (CEF I assume), isn't it? If that is so, why can't pdf.js be used for rendering PDF files?
June 9, 20224 yr Not all of us use or want a Navigraph subscription. I'd love to see a PDF viewing app for the EFB so we can use our own charts or whatever docs we wish to use during flight.

ChartFox - Free Flight Simulation Charts AIRMATE – Préparation et suivi de vols Thanks Javier, I hadn't heard of ChartFox, just checked it out.
