**Winner of the Tabby Awards for best iPad- Productivity/Documents App**

PDF Reader Pro Edition is the best app to read, manage and annotate PDF files and it works beautifully on iOS 12. The most powerful PDF reader, carefully designed and optimized specially for the iPhone & iPad. The best mobile PDF reader for your iPad Pro and Apple Pencil.

Part of the @work campaign by Apple.

Some of the great features of PDF Reader Pro Edition are:

• Real-time online collaboration & chat Now you can collaborate and add annotations with other users on the same file over the internet in real time and you can chat about your progress simultaneously. They will be able to see what changes you are making as you make them all in real time.

• PDF forms support 
Now you can fill out PDF forms directly on your iPad/iPhone.

Highlighter, stamps, sticky notes, text boxes, underlines, strikeout, dynamic stamps (with date & time), freehand drawing, signature, free highlight, lines, arrows, rectangles and ovals, fully compatible with Apple Preview and Adobe Acrobat.

• New EasyReview mode With this new amazing feature you are able to mark up PDF documents faster and easier than ever before. Just tap on the part of text where you need to make changes and correct it in the text editor (similar to Word). The text will be marked as removed and the new text will have a different color so you can easily identify it. When you save the PDF file all the modifications will appear as standard annotations (replace text and insert text annotations).

• Fresh new user interface specially design to merge beautifully with iOS 12.

This app is horribly designed.
     
by The guy how does not care149 · September 6, 2022

Apps so poorly designed it’s not even funny. Want to zoom in and out? Well I have to exit drawing mode for that then renter. Want to scroll around? Well You’ll have to wait a few seconds for that part of the document to load, as apparently it is unable to remain loaded if it’s not on your screen for some reason. Want to erase something? Well the eraser size is locked with the pencil size, so if you don’t want to erase one pixel at a time, you have to increase pen size and erase, then decrease pen size again to start drawing again. It also won’t stop turning my text green. Apps so bad I feel like I’m a beta tester trying out the very first iteration of the app made by someone who has never made an app before.

Difficult
     
by Island Preacher · July 18, 2023

It seems impossible to move a file out of the folders to Dropbox. Dragging does not work. I need to move this file.

Used to work …Doesn’t work now
     
by Sri303 · October 30, 2022

Update: doesn’t work anymore. I wish we could file a complaint to remove this app from the store. During annotation, highlighting is done over the text, making the highlighted text gray. Just because of this, I ended up switching to iannotate. If they fix it, I will update my review.

No file could be opened

Bad app experience

fake or not work with ipad.
     
by ComProGms · June 29, 2026

finally do nothing, looks like a fake.

Buggy, Non-Intuitive UX
     
by CookieFactory · April 20, 2026

The lack of typical Apple ecosystem UX conventions (swipe to delete, press and hold for context menu, etc) is off-putting. Add in the bugs (encountered multiple within the first 5 minutes of usage, including a consistent crash that renders doc scanning completely broken) and this app is just a jarring experience. I want a refund.

Useful but…
     
by tweeston · October 16, 2021

I cannot get this to act as default PDF editor/reader on IPad Pro and it often doesn’t appear in the choices to use in opening pdf files. Also, it closes itself every time I do manage to send a new pdf file for it to open - so I have to reopen the program just to see the new file! When was the last update?

Doesn’t work anymore

Can’t open PDFs that I’ve downloaded to my iPad. RIP. This app used to be cool
