PDF Viewer Pro

View, annotate, and comment on PDFs

- Kenny Hemphill

Free (IAPs) From PSPDFKit, pdfviewer.io Made for iPhone, iPad, iPod touch Needs iOS 10.0 or later

PDF Viewer, despite its name, does a great deal more than just allow you to view PDFs on your iPhone. You can annotate and comment on PDFs, sign them, fill in forms, and even perform some basic editing functions.

The Pro version adds a few extra features for a fee ($9.99 for a year), allowing you to annotate JPEGs and PNG files, password protect PDFs, combine multiple documents into one, and reply to notes that others have made.

PDFs can be imported from email, from a cloud storage service like Dropbox or iCloud, or via the Files app. Once open, PDFs are searchable, and you can bookmark them or create a table of contents. And, of course, you can zoom in — double–tap the screen and the Smart Zoom feature homes in on the text you want to read. Annotating PDFs, which can be done using your finger, or on an iPad Pro with an Apple Pencil, is surprising­ly easy. And you can have multiple PDFs open at once due to the tabbed interface.

There are plenty of customizat­ion options too, from a choice of themes, to choosing how to display and navigate multipage PDFs, and even how pen marks and highlights will work. Talking of navigating, as well as swiping up and down (or left and right if customized), there’s a scroll bar and thumbnails along the bottom of the screen so you can jump between pages. It’s a real pleasure to use.

the bottom line. PDF Viewer Pro is essential for doing more with PDFs on your iPhone, and the Pro version is easily worth the outlay.

Awesome
