Application Crash if the open file is not PDF about flutter_pdfview HOT 7 CLOSED

Hello, you can check using built-in method from dart:io

import "dart:io"

String path = "filepath.pdf";

File(path).exists();

from flutter_pdfview.

you can implement your own file extension check before you execute the exists() function, then return a warning to the user like an alert dialog to say incorrect file type.

i mean if the file is epub or another format it crashes all the application so I think its better to check the file format in package side

I tried all the pdf packages they are not crashing but they are not better than this package this package is really very beautiful and highly customizable thank you for the great package

I made a fork and edited the example to to include a simple snackbar that prevents a non pdf file being opened.
I decided to only do edit the example as the developer may have their own design specification on how to handle alerts (an alert dialog might be too intrusive).
PR submitted.
