Finally, after a long wait, Adobe has today launched its PDF Reader application onto iOS devices, joining its other iPad and iPhone applications which have been launched over the last couple of months.
Since the arrival of the iPhone and iPad, plenty of other PDF viewing applications have been created, but if you use PDFs regularly in your day-to-day activities, then the new Adobe iOS PDF Reader application might be worth a look. As it brings a number of features for sharing your PDF files and the ability to e-mail and even print using Apple’s AirPrint feature.
Key Features of Adobe PDF Reader for iOS
The PDF reader application also allows you to open a number of different PDF formats including: password-protected PDF documents, PDF portfolios, and of course Adobe LiveCycle PDF files. This versatility ensures that users can access a wide range of PDF documents without compatibility issues. Additionally, the app supports annotations, allowing users to highlight text, add comments, and even draw directly on the PDF. This is particularly useful for students and professionals who need to mark up documents for study or review.
Another notable feature is the ability to fill out and sign PDF forms. This can be a game-changer for business professionals who need to handle contracts and forms on the go. The app also integrates seamlessly with Adobe Document Cloud, enabling users to store and access their PDFs from any device.
Compatibility and Availability
The new Adobe Reader application is now available to download for free from the Apple App Store. The PDF Reader app works with iOS 4.2.5 and later, making it accessible to a wide range of iOS users. For those who are not on iOS, there is also an Android version that was released in May 2010. This Android version is being updated to version 10.1 to keep both applications on par with each other, ensuring a consistent user experience across platforms.
The app’s availability on both iOS and Android platforms highlights Adobe’s commitment to providing a comprehensive PDF solution for mobile users. This cross-platform support is crucial in today’s multi-device world, where users often switch between different operating systems.
In addition to its mobile applications, Adobe also offers a desktop version of its PDF Reader, known as Adobe Acrobat Reader. This desktop version provides even more advanced features, such as OCR (Optical Character Recognition) for converting scanned documents into editable text, and advanced security options for protecting sensitive information.
Overall, the launch of Adobe’s PDF Reader on iOS devices is a significant development for users who rely on PDFs for their daily tasks. With its robust feature set and cross-platform compatibility, Adobe’s PDF Reader stands out as a top choice for managing PDF documents on the go.
