Best PDF reader around

Hi guys,
I have had a look (internet and iTunes only) at some PDF readers for the iPad. Like PDF reader, Fast PDF, Goodreader. Unfortunately I have not seen them all in a landscape, 2 page action yet.
Which PDF reader would you guys recommend? How well does it display 2 page landscape? Like iBooks?
Thanks a lot.

Although goodreader does a poor job in landscape it does allow actual use of TOC and index and links within the PDF. It also fills in holes that exist in the actual ipad related to data sharing and application integration.
I need to have another look at the others I removed to see if landscape is any good.

Best PDF reader for iPad2?

Is there a PDF "reader" app for the iPad which will allow you to 1. search for a specific word (or words) and 2. allow you to copy text from a PDF?

I would recommend ReaddleDocs for iPad, works great on my iPad, support full txt search, and easy navigation across pages, and lightning quick.

But if for free, iBook is cool too!

The Best pdf reader out there

Hi Guys,
There are many free pdf readers out there in the market...adobe reader being the dominant one...still, many people just do not use adobe reader because of the blot...it is slow...is heavy...download size is big and then there are too many update pop ups....
so, which pdf reader would you choose? (I have been using foxit reader..and find it very good...stable...and fast..)

It all depends on your individual usage.
If you want to view/print simple PDF files, Foxit would probably be fine (spyware aside).
If you want to view and interact with more advanced PDF's (3D, commenting...etc), then Adobe Reader would be a better choice.
Basically, there is no overall better reader that would fit all situations.

Best PDF reader on iPhone ?

Hi, maybe my question will sounds stupid, but I was wondering which PDF reader would you recommend for iPhone ?
Currently I am using evernote with PDF files saved as notes, but it's not easy to jump to a specific page within the document for instance...
Thanks in advance for your feedback and advice

Thanks for your answers markerline & Michael !
I will check indeed PDF to go or document to go !
I'm surprised Adobe didn't release any specific app for iPhone...

Best pdf reader for turning pages quickly?

Hi there,
I'm about to buy an iPad, and one of my primary uses will be to hold and view sheet music for a vocal group I'm in. (The idea of going to rehearsal without a giant, heavy stack of sheet music...is genius.) I've read a lot of reviews of pdf readers on the iPad, and I know that iBooks allows you to read them as well, but I'm looking for the best app that will allow me to neatly organize my sheet music files in folders and subfolders, but most importantly have a fast page-loading time...it would defeat the purpose if we're reading along in the music and the next page doesn't load right away!
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

I use goodreader, which is fairly good, and alows for folder creation.
In my quick, unscientific test, just now with a 60+ page pdf with lots of graphics in it, if you spend more than a second or two on a single page, the next one displays right away. If you try to swipe through a bunch in a row, really fast, you get the checkerboard pattern until the new page loads.
AS you are looking at sheet music, this would work as you would definately be staying on a single page for a 1/2 minute or more (dpeending on the tempo of course).
I would still google for sheet music apps that might be more of what your looking for. A coworker (thats left for the weekend already) has sheet music on his ipad and I can ask on Monday what he prefers.
Till then

Best pdf reader

Hi all,
I love iBooks for the fact that I can select a word and either look up the definition or search the web or search Wikipedia. But a big drawback for me is that you can not highlight in a PDF document. And who knows when Apple will update this App.
Does anyone know of a PDF viewer that has all these features. I have tried some that do highlighting such as Acrobat Reader for the ipad but does not have the dictionary feature and I am not sure about the same type of bookmark feature.
Thanks,
John Gerard

I use PDFPen by Smile Software.

You can annotate, sign, or highlight PDFs very easily. They have apps for the iPhone, iPad, and your Mac, and you can sync your devices through iCloud or Dropbox so each document is on every device. Highly recommended.

Shouldn't a PDF reader on mobile devices by Adobe be the best?

I would have thought that of all the apps on mobile devices that can read and display PDF documents a PDF Reader by Adobe would be the best one out there. Instead it seems little better than average. It is still the best one I have found but... As I have looked through the list of discussions on this forum it looks like many topics have gone unanswered. And those that have been answered only a few responses are given. What is going on with the development?
Tagged PDF documents work okay on my Samsung Galaxy tab but I want to be able to do more with PDF documents than just open and read them.
Use bookmarks to navigate easily through a document
Use hyperlinks to navigate easily through a document
When I'm prepareing to teach a lesson I typically add notes in the margins and highlight text in the hard copy of the lesson manual. I would like to do the same in the PDF version of the manual.
One small advantage of a PDF document over epub is when when I tell someone or someone tells me to go to a certain page in book or manual or lesson book to follow along nothing work better than a PDF.
I was told recently that folks in another country use an iOS or Android device to view our PDFs more so than desktop units. So where is the development going with Adobe Reader for Android for example? At the rate technology changes these days it doesn't seem like anything is really moving forward.

This new version is much better. Thanks to the everyone working on the best PDF reader out there. So far as I have tested it on my Galaxy Tab it works fine except for one freeze up. I even installed it on my wife's iPad and she seems to be impressed. This is a big and for me long awaited improvement. Thanks Dov for giveing my patience level a boost. Now I just have to play around with it some more and see what needs to be tweeked and added.

What is the best way to find what version of PDF Reader from Adobe is installed on a windows OS?

Hi,
I am developing a .Net App in which i want to find which version of PDF Reader from Adobe is installed on an Windows OS.
It can be any of the software
Adobe Reader
Adobe Acrobat X Pro
or any other.
How to find out?

The best way would be to find and query the AcroRd32.exe executable. The file version information is stored in the executable itself.
There are lots of places in the registry that you could also potentially access relevant information.
For example the uninstall string:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall
Contains a string that you could use to search for the application version.
How you would do this in .NET I'm not sure but you would use some kind of text search command to search for the relevant text and then use "if exists" condition.

HT2506 How do I drag an image around in the view, once it's magnified larger than the viewing area? I can imagine a simple "hand" tool like in Adobe PDF Reader doing this, but it's oddly missing in this application, quite a shame.

@Csound1 how is my mac relevant? I'm talking about software not hardware.
@Kurt Lang sorry, I composed the message when looking at "Preview" application help on this site, the fact that it missed the context here, is another issue I have with Apple's "famous" UI/UX design...
So for the record, I'm talking about the "Preview" app that comes bundles with Max OSX.

Looking for a pdf reader which meets these requirements

I am looking for a pdf reader which meets these requirements:
1- Open pdf starting from last page opened during last session
2- Be able to scroll between pages vertically (not horizontally like many current ones do). Vertical scroll should be a continuous smooth scroll without doing a sudden full page pull in. Should behave as if pdf is one single very long page.
3- Should be able to change width of page and lock it. Page should not move sideways. Page width should be remembered so when same pdf is opened, it opens in that width.
4- A fast scroll feature. Useful for pdf's with hundreds of pages.
5- Nice to have feature: when opening the pdf reader, it automatically opens the last pdf file on the last page read.
I have tried all the free pdf readers in the AppStore and none met all these requirements except for two which had these issues:
1- iRead limitation: When screen is touched for more than a second, the page is frozen (locked) and page can't be scrolled. Scrolling is done when doing quick swipes only
2- FileApp limitation: Does not remember last page opened. Does not remember last width set. Fast scroll doesn't work properly when width is other than default.

iAnnotate additional points
iAnnotate works with DropBox to download and upload edited PDFs. It does all the other same things, email, USB, and iTunes etc. but it also can download PDFs from any web site.
You can transfer hundreds if not thousands of files at one whack using the AIJ Utility on your desktop.
If you transfer a large number of files you have to plan not to use iAnnotate a while as it has an index function that indexes all the text into a master 'dictionary' so it can do searches for data and find PDFs for you. This indexing takes hours if you transfer hundreds of moderate size PDFs at one time.
The biggest PDF I have feed it was a Gimp manual at close to a thousand pages.
Remember the scratch pad ram is only 256 MB in the current iPad. You can cash iAnnotate if you do something really dumb with such a large file. Other applications also grab and hold onto chunks of this ram in the iPad so it is best to force a memory reset before doing anything that is going to max out that ram.
iAnnotate allows you to have more than one PDF open at a time and you can tab between all the open PDFs in a blink just as you would in a tabbed web browser.
If you zoom a page larger than the width of the screen it slides around. Less than the width of the screen the page locks in the size while scrolling which is smooth between pages.
iAnnotate is a very well made product for dealing with PDFs. Annotations display in Goodreader and in the Mac OS Preview.

In coded ui how do you correctly retrieve a browser window that contains an embedded Adobe PDF reader in browser

I'am running across this issue when I'm debugging or running my coded UI automation project, where i get the exception labeled "{"COM object that has been separated from its underlying RCW cannot be used." System.Exception {System.Runtime.InteropServices.InvalidComObjectException}"
everytime i come from a browser window that contains a pdf reader embedded in it. This happens every time I retrieve the window and try to click back. It barfs when i perform the back method on it. I've tried different things but none has worked including
the playback wait.
var hereIsmypdf = ReturnPDFDoc();
public BrowserWindow ReturnPDFDoc()
Playback.Wait(1000);
var myPdFdoc = GlobalVariables.Browser;
return myPdFdoc;
hereIsmypdf.Back();

Hi skinny_Will,
<<"{"COM object that has been separated from its underlying RCW cannot be used." System.Exception {System.Runtime.InteropServices.InvalidComObjectException
According this exception error message, I did some research about it. I know that this exception error is occurred in
COM object which was disposed if you are using the COM objects in a same static class or variables which ware shared between tests.
So please you refer the following blog to use ExecutionThread element to instruct the test to use the MTA threading model. This way, the static instance of "store" can be shared across tests.
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/martijnh/archive/2009/12/31/unit-testing-com-object-that-has-been-separated-from-its-underlying-rcw-cannot-be-used.aspx
Note: if you are using the VS2013 to create the coded UI test, you will need to add a test setting file to add this
ExecutionThread.
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee256991.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396
In addition, ad you said that when you playback the browser window that contains an embedded Adobe PDF reader and then it could not work.
I suggest you could try to add more searchproperties to find this target control and then check this issue.
I find a similar thread about your issue, please refer the Steve's code to check your issue.
