Reading PDF-files - this is one of those tasks that is very well suited iPad's larger screen, but there can not do without additional software, as built-in tools, you can only view the PDF, sent by email or found online, and after download the file from your computer is much more convenient. PDFReader Pro will be a good assistant for those who life is unthinkable without a PDF.

PDFReader Pro besides standard functionality for reading PDF has a few nice additions that for some users will be very useful and may even be essential, but more on that later, first stop on the base functions.

In order to read PDF-files on iPad to get their first need to download, the application it can be done in several ways.

The second way a little harder, but it does not require a direct connection to your computer iPad. The program has the ability to upload files via Wi-Fi, but it is necessary that the iPad and The computer is in the same network, as well as in the application has been included appropriate switch. In the application, at the bottom of the screen you'll see a URL like http://192.168.0.196:5500/ - Enter this address into your browser on your computer and you will have access to the PDF-files on your iPad, and you can also upload to the new Web-based.

This feature is very convenient if you want to upload PDF-files from the computer unit, not synchronized with your iPad, with it not only with a computer, and even from a phone or other device equipped with a browser and connected to the same network iPad. I thought it was, so that you can upload any file, if you add to it at the end of .pdf, however, refused to accept the application such files, perhaps you'll get.

In addition to the above methods, you can open PDF-files are sent by email, but also downloaded from the Internet (for these objectives there is even a built-in browser, where you can enter the address directly as a file and surf in his search). Upon detection of PDF from the context menu in addition to the option "View" appears click "View PDF Reader Pro».

You can also export files in the application of some other programs such as Dropbox.

Well, we uploaded the files on your iPad, start to read them. After opening PDFReader Pro we get to the library, where we see PDF-files and folders.

Files can delete, move, copy and paste, rename and send by mail, also has the ability to create and delete folders. To do this, press the «Actions», select the desired files / folders and make them conceived actions.

To start reading a PDF-file, simply click on it. Just I want to note that during the reading of large files as small brake at flipping, but they are not critical, moreover, there is no full-screen mode, a small menu at the top always present.

For navigation, you can press the "Back" and "Forward" or squander finger multitouch works to change the page size. You can also navigate to a specific page by its number, or search the entire PDF-file, search for Tragically available so far only in English, but is looking bright enough, even large files. In addition, it is possible to bookmark (a button "+"), which then easily find the journal article or book chapter. Pleasant things is that when you reopen the file, we find ourselves on the same page, where they were prior to the last closing, it is convenient for reading thick books or magazines, but keep in mind that when moving a file, the application "forgets" where we were staying, and the file is opened beginning.

Another interesting feature PDFReader Pro is the ability to create PDF-files from the images stored in the gallery. To do this, go to the library and at the bottom click on the button «Scan» (you will not notice it immediately).

Click on the button with the film and select the desired image from the gallery, each image before export may be subjected to a simple editing - crop or adjust the contrast. To create a PDF-file click on the button «Make PDF», and a new file in a few seconds will appear in our library.

Overall PDFReader Pro leaves a pleasant impression, although there is a sense that the application is still not finished: sometimes crashes and slow. The program costs $ 3.99 [iTunes link], That in the presence of cheaper analogues (e.g. GoodReader $ 0.99) too much.
