Advanced PDF Reader app review: easy PDF management

Introduction

Despite its highly promising name, Advanced PDF Reader is actually a fairly simplistic PDF manager that you can use to view documents on your iPhone and iPad with a fairly limited range of functionality; it's well worth checking out if you are simply interested in viewing documents only.

There probably isn’t going to be a great deal for me to say about this app considering how limited the functionality is, but I would like to mention that the app itself runs very smoothly and shouldn’t give you guys any problems when you first start using it.

Simple PDF Management

What we have here is a very simple little utility app that has been designed to provide you with a quick and easy way of reading and managing your PDF documents.

You’ll find simple gesture-based controls which allow you to zoom in and out of documents by pinching with your finger and thumb, and you can also tilt your device to rotate documents and view them in either portrait or landscape mode.

 

Read the Pros & Cons for Limitations

Advanced PDF Reader doubles up as a basic file management system for your PDF documents, enabling you to easily move them between your computer and your various iOS devices via Wi-Fi transfer.

What’s more, you can very easily delete any unwanted documents from directly within the app, and I’m glad the developer has included this feature as it means you won’t have to do any unnecessary leg work from your computer.

 

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Enjoy easy management of your PDF documents
• Move your PDF documents between your computer and iOS device via Wi-Fi transfer
• Use intuitive gesture-based controls to rotate and zoom in and out of your documents
• Provides support for both portrait and landscape modes

Cons

• No support for printing documents from within the app
• No support for sharing documents with others online
• No support for the Open In… feature
• No support for annotating or editing PDF documents

 

Final Words

Simple, intuitive, but no less functional, Advanced PDF Reader provides everything you would hope to find in a simplistic iPhone and iPad app of this kind.

The only things I would really like to see added at this stage are printing capabilities and perhaps support for sharing via email; incorporation of the Open In… feature would also be very useful for those of you who want to annotate or otherwise edit your documents in other apps.
