Yes, in a future version of novaPDF, but unfortunately at lest 8+ months until we'll have a driver for mobile devices.
Re: Windows 8 RT / ARM Support
So it has been almost 10 years. Do you have Nova for ARM processors yet?

Re: Windows 8 RT / ARM Support
Hi,
Unfortunately we haven't added ARM support, due to the fact that there was very little demand for this and from a technical point of view it would take a lot of resources to add it.

Re: Windows 8 RT / ARM Support
Hi,
the demand for ARM compatibility will increase dramatically the next months/years IMHO. The cause is that, first, the ARM processors from Apple are amazingly fast – and virtual machines running emulations of Windows 11 for ARM shows that the ARM architecture would be a good alternative also for Microsoft rather than Apple.
Anyways, using Parallels (https://parallels.com) on an M1-Mac gave me the fastest Windows 11 that I ever seen on any machine. Anything works really fine, even working in complex projects in Visual Studio 2022 (for Windows). I found only one single application that is not running in that environment: it's your novaPDF ... the x86-emulation on ARM doesn't help here.
