Reading pdfs on an iphone

does anyone know of any iphone apps that allow you to both view a PDF on your phone AND get specific information about the dimensions of that PDF on your phone (such as the width and height of the PDF)?

I just have a Folder in mail called Documents and get everyone to mail/forward me the *.pdf and *.doc files etc.. that i want to read and stick them in that folder for easy referencing, which means they are stored on the iPhone and easily accessible whenevr i want them. It also means i can easily forward them on as well which you can't necessarily do with an app.

    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?

  • Ibooks alternative to read PDf's in iPhone 3g?

    Hi there,
    I understand the iphone 3g cannot download the latest version of ibooks as it is for ios5. I don't have an older version of ibooks I can use, to put on my old iphone, so unfortunately this is not an option.
    I also see alot of alternative apps no longer work for 4.2.1 either, for the same reason. (kobo, kindle etc)
    So.....I was wondering if 1) anyone knows of an app that will allow me to read PDF's on my old iphone 3g and can be downloaded from the app store?
                                        2) a way to view and organise .pnf files on my iphone 3g instead?
    I wanted to use my old iphone 3g at the gym for music and using (.pnf or .pdf I have same fil) files that have all my work outs on them. I have about 80 pdf's that I wanted to file into sub folders, that I use from week to week. I can do this with all my PDF recipes in ibooks I am using on my ipad. Hopefully I can do the same!
    Thanks for your help!

    Thanks...So annoying. I have over 80 files.
    I will keep hunting and see how I go.
    Thanks for your help! ANy other help would be great

  • What's the best way of reading PDF books in iPhone? Please, name software.

    Hey all,
    I have a PC but a friend of mine has MAC, and we're both looking for best way to view pdf documents, but not through e-mail savings. Can you please help us, by naming any good APP or anything like that.
    Thanks for the answer,
    Mari!

    If the app store is not available then no one can recommend an app to read PDFs except as email attachments.

  • Increasing Font Size for Reading pdfs

    Is there a way to boost the font size (beyond the double-tap) for reading pdfs on the iphone? Something like setting the font size for email perhaps?
    Thanks.

    This is only slightly true. You can zoom in a little when viewing a PDF, but soon you reach some iPhone limit and the page gets larger as you exapnd, but then when you release it drops back. Unlike with Safari on a web page where you can make it as big as you want (well at least really really big).
    This is VERY annoying (I think I'll submit a bug about it actually) as I can't get the text big enough to easily read it. Why is there a limit in the first place?

  • PDF Reader on iPad and iPhone

    Why isn't there an iPad and iPhone app to read PDFs that I have stored on iCloud Drive?

    Has the PDF document sent to your iPad 4 and iPhone 5s via email and opened in Apple Mail?  Apple Mail on iOS has known bugs with attachments (not just PDF documents).
    Please take a look at Problem #1: Some PDF attachments opened in Apple Mail on iOS are corrupted or damaged in the following document.
    How to avoid known PDF email attachment problems
    Alternatively, you can take the original PDF document (without damage) on your Windows/Mac computer and uploaded via a cloud storage service (e.g. Acrobat.com, Dropbox, Google Drive) and download it to your iOS device.

  • Does anyone know of an e-reader app for the iphone that has text to speech capability? I have a Kindle 3G that can read whole pdf documents and books but I cannot figure out how to do it on my iphone 4.

    Does anyone know of an e-reader app for the iphone that has text to speech capability? I have a Kindle 3G that can read whole pdf documents and books but I cannot figure out how to do it on my iphone 4.
    All of the apps I have found on the App store either do not have the text to speech capability or if they have it they will only read a page at a time or simply read the text you paste into their window. I really do not understand what is so difficult about having this feature as Kindle provides it--though Amazon does not make the feature available on its iPhone 4 app.
    Please help.

    thanks. yes i am aware of the VoiceOver feature but it is NOT the solution to my problem. as you said, it is a solution to a different set of issues. i want the text to speech ability because i there are books i need to read but do not have the time to sit down and read them and have become used to listening to them read to me either by a professional human reader or with the text to speech software on the Kindle.
    I think Apple makes the best audio devices but i am really disappointed in this inexplainable shortcoming. if apple can give us siri they ought to be able to design a nice little button that i can push to turn on text to speech while i am in a document, book, magazine or webpage. clearly it is possible as apple has added the "reader" button in safari to have web pages dropped into the reader format.
    thanks for your suggestion though, it is what everyone suggests but it does not address the issue.

  • How to read PDF files on your iphone in book format

    Hey everyone, I just posted a tutorial on how to read pdf files like ebooks on Stanza. Let me know if you have any questions
    http://budurl.com/u4tz
    That used to drive me crazy until I figured it out. Enjoy

    an easier way would be to wait until iOS 4 and then download the free iBooks app... you can import via the file sharing feature in iTunes (same that the iPad uses), or open the file from an email using the "open in" feature currently found on the iPad...

    ^ scroll down to the iphone with the subheading underneath saying "See what’s attached."

  • Is there a way to store PDF files and read them on your iPhone?

    I noticed that you can read PDF files on the Internet, but it takes a bit of time to appear. Another problem was that it is hard to scroll because you can only scroll about one page at a time with the finger flicking.
    Also is it possible to have portable browser on your iPhone?

    Well, sounds like you may be stuck---some potential approaches:
    Look at the file sharing apps to see if any offer special PDF features like bookmarks or saving your place (FileMagnet, AirSharing, etc, there are lots of them). You can even add bookmarks in Preview, though I have no idea whether any other app can read them. I know reading PDFs as email attachments does not save your place--I would expect some other apps to do better with that.
    See if Calibre does any better with images in conversion:
    http://calibre.kovidgoyal.net/
    Run OCR software on Google's PDF to convert it to text.
    Since Google does a text search on them, the text is somewhere. Though maybe only Google can access it, it may not be in the PDF file but stored separately.
    For some books, Google Books offers an HTML or plain text version. See if you can download that one instead (may still want to convert via Stanza).
    See if some of the books you want might be in Gutenberg:

  • My brother uses Jaws, a braille device to read his computer and Iphone. Jaws does not read a .pdf but it will read a .doc.  What do you seggest?

    My brother uses Jaws, a braille device to read his computer and Iphone.  Jaws does not read a .pdf but it will read a .doc.  What do you suggest?

    PDFs are notorious for being difficult to navigate with a screen reader, because nearly all PDFs are either not remediated for accessibility or poorly remediated. Hopefully that landscape is changing with the proposed new 508 rules, which substantially raise the bar for high quality document accessibility and hopefully will have some legal teeth. Still, JAWS should at least attempt to read any PDF that is not image-only. It should infer the tags if no tags are present. I am not at all familiar with JAWS but it sounds to me like the software may not be configured properly for reading PDFs. The JAWS company Freedom Scientific may be able to help, or posting in a JAWS support forum may yield useful information, or maybe a JAWS expert will chime in here. Sorry I am not able to be of help.

  • 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!

  • 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

    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).   So I downloaded the Adobe PDF reader and that did work with the phone.  The only problem with that is is that the Reader app downloads a copy of the pdf to the iPhone/iPad and that's a very big "no-no" to our auditors.  So I was wondering if you guys knew of any way to make those pdf's readable or if y'all might know of a pdf viewer app that will not download a copy of the pdf to the phone itself?  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.
