PDF reading on iPhone

How can I open a PDF document on my iPhone? I use to be able to open them, but now they download(visual indicator) but do not display.
I've downloaded the Adobe reader, but the document still does not display.

Thnx ( also @nick101): ad1) I'll take Goodreader, then -- ad 2) what I was relating to: when simply clicking on a pdf-attachment ( eg: of an email), it is a) displayed already with the ( suggestive) icon of PrintCentral - then, when clicking on it, on my configuration a pop-up offers 3 options ( obviously 3 other apps, which have this capability: +iBooks, Stanza, and PrintCentra+l, +GoodReader (lite)+ is not displayed as an option - so I thought , that somehow/somewhere these choice are configurable-- 3) in OTHER words. how do I then "force" GoodReader to be my choice for all ( it's appears to me, that if I transfer any doc by WiFi or such to my iPhone/iPad), I can choose the reader, of course; email attachments ma be a different case -? ) - Comment again appreciated

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

I will check indeed PDF to go or document to go !
I'm surprised Adobe didn't release any specific app for iPhone...

My email don't read pdf files in iphone 5 s - HELP

my email don't read pdf files in iphone 5 s - HELP

Yup, restarted my system. First thing I did was open Firefox and try to open a .pdf.
There isn't an Acrobat icon in my system tray, and it's not showing up in my task manager, so is there another way of seeing if it's open?

Set Adobe Reader iPad/iPhone app to just view pdf instead of downloading it?

Hello,
I work for a financial company and it seems that some of our user's were having trouble viewing a pdf document that contained editable text boxes. The layout of the form itself would show, but none of the text within the text boxes would appear. So I tested the pdf out on my phone as well and did the same exact thing (layout shows, but no text). Since everyone was having trouble viewing the text within the document, I downloaded the Adobe Reader App and it worked perfectly. The only issue that I have is that since we are a financial institution, we get audited quite often and having documents stored on your phone is a big 'no-no' to the auditors. So I was wondering if it was possible to make the Adobe Reader App just view the pdf instead downloading the pdf to the application and storing it in the docs and the recent docs setting. A little more info on our part: We are running Exchange 2010, my iPhone is a 4S and it's running the ios7, and the iPad is running ios 6.1.03 (I think). Also, I did a little bit of searching but I could find anything but is there some sort of list that will say what does/does not work in regards to pdf's on iPhones or iPads? Any suggestions/help is very welcome and appreciated!
Thanks,

Hi Shradha and thank you for that information. Now is that only in regards to the Adobe Reader app or does that copy expand to all current pdf viewer apps on iOS? If it is only in regards to the Adobe Reader app, then do you know of an app that may have the functionality that I am looking for? I have tried searching for one, but I have been unsuccessful in my searches.
Thanks,

I cannot open PDF to read apple iphone 4 support manual from firefox yet it works fine on IE 9 and I have the latest version of adobe reader installed

http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf

Thanks again but no PDF listed on any of the adobe apps. I noticed if I to Adobe acrobat document on that list and move over to open it, it gives you the option of Adobe Reader as default. If I choose that, I can open PDF documents. I have also noticed via web search that more than 80 people have reported the same problem with 4.0, but no solution yet so I suppose I will leave the default at Adobe Acrobat Document Use Adobe Reader in Firefox. Not sure if that will affect anything else but it seems to open the PDF.

TS1702 How can I find out which is the correct app to read a PDF on my iPhone 5?

I purchased a PDF reader from the app store, but I still cannot read the file. When I try to download the file, it states that I need an updated version of PDF. I notice there are several PDF apps available, but I don't know which is the correct one. How can I find out the correct application I need?

Select the tune and then - Get Info - in the dialog box is a note of the Apple ID used to purchase.

Loading pdf file from iPhone Documents folder into a UIWebView

I'm currently trying to include the ability for my App to download a "pdf" file from the web,... display the image in a UIWebView,.. save it to the iPhone,... and later redisplay it in the same UIWebView while "off line". I've been able to do everything but get the web view to load/display the stored pdf file. The App finds the .pdf file...
Here's the path it finds in the Simulator...
Image File Path: /Users/FCR/Library/Application Support/iPhone Simulator/User/Applications/8E29ACDF-4A56-4AC2-BFA0-C4F8E00E1481/Documents/AD_K EWR.pdf
... but I'm not much into html and can't seem to come up with a url scheme to load the image. I've tried several attempts using the URL... "file:///" ... but so far haven't been able to get the file (which is in the iPhone's Documents folder) to display. I seem to be about one line short of a workable solution.
Can anyone offer a bit of code (help) to accomplish this seemingly easy task of displaying it in the UIWebView?... It would be much appreciated!

Can you please post the code snippet used to download and save the PDF to the iPhone? I did not know you could do that.

Combo/ list box in Adobe Reader on iPhone 5

I have exported to an interactive PDF which contains radio buttons, text fields, combo boxes and list boxes. This form is to be viewed on an iPhone in Adobe Reader. All the form objects work except for the combo/list boxes. They appear and a selection can be made but the selection is not displayed in the box. I have tried to enlarge the box, thinking it was too small to display the text.
Can someone please tell me if there is a compatibility issue or a work around for this problem.
Thanks!
Gemma

I tested one of my interactive PDF forms, and it works fine in Reader on iPhone 5. Here is what a list box looks like:

Hi there @Delta0 and welcome to the community!
I understand you can scan however, you cannot open up the PDF file afterwards.
Please let me know which operating system you are running and I will certainly look into this issue for you.
Which Windows Operating System am I running?
Mac OS X: How Do I Find Which Mac OS X Version Is on My Computer?
In the meantime, try updating Adobe to see if that helps.
Have a great day

How do I sync a PDF file between iPhone and iPad in iBooks?

How do I sync a PDF file between iPhone and iPad in iBooks?

If the PDF supports it then you can try opening the PDF in iBooks on your phone and use the 'share' icon (the square with the upward pointing arrow) to email it to yourself (some PDFs a protected and don't support emailing) and use 'open in' in the Mail app on your iPad to copy it to its Mail app.
Or you can connect the phone to your computer's iTunes and do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases to copy it over to your iTunes (that should copy PDFs and/or epubs that are in the iBooks app, not just ibooks) and if using a Mac with Mavericks or Yosemite on it then do File > Move Books From iTunes in its iBooks app, and you can then sync it to your iPad.

Viewing PDF on iPad/iPhone

Any help/suggestions would be greate appreciated.
Thank you!

If he can read the form when he selects Quicklook, that's a new one on me. That has never, ever worked for me. Form fields have never been visible as attachments in the built in Mail app on any iOS device that I have ever owned. he needs to download a real PDF reader app in order to view, edit, sign, etc. form fields. Tell him to download Adobe Reader which is free and it gives him all of that functionality. Other pdf apps will do the same things, but Adobe Reader is free.
it's tough to beat free and functional.

Can't see manual after download. Says get Acrobat. Have Adobe. Shop says $449! Just want to read an iphone 4 manual

Can't see manual after downloading several times from Apple. Somewhere else says have to get Acrobat to read. Have Adobe. Acrobat on Apple site is over $400! All I want to do is read an iphone 4 manual.

Acrobat Reader is free. Or try this:
1. Select the file.
2. Press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window.
3. In the Open With section select Preview from the dropdown menu.
4. Click on the Change All button.
This will assign Preview as the default application for opening PDF files. Now, if you downloaded the manual on your iPhone, then you need a PDF reader app. Try the free GoodReader app. Or you can download the manual in iBook format.

How to send pdf file from iphone 5s to iphone 4s

want to send files from iphone 5s to iphone 4s, tried downloading bluthooth apps but does not send. i dont know how to do it.

It depends, to some extent on the app you're using to view PDFs. It most app, there is a sharing icon (looks like a box with an arrow coming out the top). Tap that, tap Mail and email the PDF.
