Pdf Reader For IphoneDoes anyone know about an app for iPad Pro that lets you read an PDF just like in iBooks, and also has good annotation support for the Apple Pencil? I want to read huge PDFs (books) and do inline markup and annotation with the Apple Pencil, flip pages etc. With my fingers without destroying my annotations. I know it's possible to do annotations in the iBooks app, but if you go into annotation mode, you're annotating with your fingers as well. This is much better implemented in the Files app in iOS 11, however, this app is not really meant for reading huge PDFs; it forgets which page you were on, has continuous page scrolling and if you want to undo an annotation you have to go in and out of annotation mode. Any suggestions are highly appreciated, thank you! Despite Apple’s walled garden approach to apps for Mac, iPhone, and iPad, it’s possible we’re occasionally duped by apps that are not what they appear to be. Today’s story covers two basic points. Yet another PDF reader, one of the App Store’s most popular app categories, and a seemingly devious tale of cloning and app reviews. First up is, a modestly priced PDF reader app which does annotation, notes, bookmarks, and integrated text-to-speach. The app’s icon, feature set, and price look remarkable similar to another PDF reader I’ve used called. Ultimate must be better than Pro but if there’s a difference between the two I can’t find it. That raised some hair on my neck so I decided to investigate. Iphone this form requires adobe acrobat reader dc for mac or windows. A paid subscription is required to take advantage of other services including the ability to get signatures from others; send and track documents online; and create and export PDFs from a browser or mobile device. The trial versions include all desktop features of Acrobat Pro DC, plus a limited set of including the ability to fill, sign, and send forms on a tablet device, store and share files online and access recently viewed files across devices. If/when the free trial expires, you can still use Acrobat to view PDFs, comment and fill forms – but to access the full set of features again, you will need to. As it turns out, PDF Reader Ultimate and PDF Reader Pro come from the same Mac app developer who publishes a dozen or so additional apps. A painting app, a drawing app, other PDF apps, a text editor, an RSS reader, a mini word processor or two, and more. The Mac App Store has a bunch of four and five star reviews for PDF Reader Pro and PDF Reader Ultimate with many of the reviews posted on the same day, and from reviewers who only reviewed that one app, or who reviewed a number of other apps by the same developer. Does that smell funny to you? If it does, that’s because something is a little bit rotten in the process. Apparently, an app developer can create and publish an app on the App Store, then get friends and family to review the app and give it four or five stars, which makes it appear more popular than it may actually be. Both PDF Reader Pro and Ultimate are decent– and if there’s a difference between the two I can’t find it. Both are priced modestly, and they’re highly ranked in a popular app category (everyone uses PDFs these days). What’s missing from the feature list is integrity. This is much like a crummy restaurant which gets employees, family, and friends to post glowing reviews about the restaurant’s menu on Yelp. I’m still looking for the ultimate PDF reader.
