3:00 AM - The Best PDF Reader Apps for the iPad
Now that Apple's iPad has become popular, many users will
want to view PDF files on the go. With a brilliant screen, e-books
and documents display beautifully on the iPad.
So, do you need a good PDF Reader App to view PDF's on your
iPad? If you do not know which pdf reader app is suitable for you,
I will tell some good pdf readers for you here.
iBooks
Apple's native e-book reader is perhaps the worst choice for
in-depth PDF reading. Although the app recently gained the ability
to include PDFs alongside e-books, its features are still severely
limited. The interface is the slowest among all the apps we tried,
taking up to two seconds for a single page to be rendered (an
instantaneous action on better readers), and you have no way to
highlight, annotate or copy any of the text from the PDF. The
search function works well, giving you access to Wikipedia and
Google for a Net search if needed, but it kicks you out of the
'iBooks' app and into Safari instead of doing the search in-app.
We'd only recommend 'iBooks' for the most casual of PDF readers.
E-book Readers
iPad e-book reading apps such as iBook, Stanza, Kindle and
Nook can handle PDF documents as well as e-book formats. Features
on the PDF reader are limited compared to the e-book format, but
you can pinch zoom to resize the text for easier reading. Some apps
also offer in-app brightness or contrast adjustment so you can set
the background and text contrast at a level that is easy on the
eyes.
PDF Readers
The iPad App Store is full of PDF readers with various
features, including the ability to mark up PDFs or add signatures
and fill in forms. Each reader's features are explained in the
store's deion, so check out several options before you settle on a
specific one. Look for one that allows color and contrast
adjustment, one and two-page layout views, zoom and search
features.
iAnnotate PDF'
iAnnotate PDF' is like the PhotoshopCS5 to the other apps' MS
Paint. In fact, it may suffer from too many features, with a
zillion helpful pop-ups for every page and tool. Thankfully, once
you've worked your way through the app's myriad options, you can
turn off the help windows, and customize the interface within an
inch of its life. It sports dynamic highlighting, a pen tool, notes
and bookmarks, all of which can be saved to the file so that they
can be read in any PDF reader on any device.
Pdf format is popular in many areas, not only on ipad but
also many other device, especially useful to engineer, they usually
need to convert their works to pdf files and then share them with
their customers, but when their customers are not satisfied with
their work, they have to edit it, the question is that pdf is not
editable, how can the engineer do? One way is to
convert
pdf to dxf with the
pdf
to dxf freeware. Or they can also
convertpdftodwg and
then edit them.
