title: Access PDF file in assets folder on android
body: <p>I have seen many question about accessing files in assets folder but can't seem to get a solid answer. I'm working on a application that would extract a text from PDF file thus I'm using iText Library to do that but my problem here is the file pathing of PDF. </p>
  
  <p>I have tried using <strong>assetManager</strong> and assetManager opens that file but i think iText needs the file path so it can open the file by itself, i am not sure but that is my theory. </p>
  
  <pre><code>PdfReader reader = new PdfReader(&lt;String PDF-file&gt;);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>then <strong>How do I access the file under assets folder using iText?</strong> if it is not possible is there a way to do that?</p>
