PDF Reader - iPad Edition app review

PDF Reader

Price: $4.99

PDF Reader – iPad Edition by Kdan Mobile Software LTD gives you a way to carry and read all of your PDF documents instead of having to tote around paper versions. 

The app is a file viewer but that’s not all; it lets you highlight, add sticky notes, handwriting, and stamps. You can also fill forms and sign contracts.

With PDF Reader – iPad Edition you can view MS Office documents, PDFs, ePub documents, iWork files, and even comic books. It has an easy-to-use interface, offers the ability to easily scroll through pages, and lets you extract any text directly from PDF files.

The app allows you to outline, bookmark, and make thumbnails of any of the supported document types, too.

Use your finger to strikeout text, underline, or highlight selections. You can use sticky notes to write down feedback, comments, or questions. Stamps indicate the status of files.

If you download and fill out a lot of forms or contracts, the built-in browser lets you download, fill out, sign, and then send by email. Alternatively, you can scan pretty much any document or even whiteboards using your device’s camera and save it that way.

One more feature of the app is that it has online backup and sync with iCloud, so you will always have access to your documents. You can transfer using WiFi, and upload or download through Box.net, GoogleDocs (now called Google Drive), Dropbox, Sugarsync, and Mydisk.se.

PDF Reader – iPad Edition was updated to Version 2.0 on January 8, 2013. The latest version has a total of 115 customer ratings with an average of 4.5 out of five stars.

This app is fantastic. I like that it supports ZIP and RAR format as well as Airplay and Air Print. I deal with a lot of documents all day long so this app will be really helpful.

For: iPad with iOS 4.3 or later
