PDF Expert is, in my opinion, the best PDF reader and annotation tool you can currently have on the iPad. It’s got a nice UI, a great engine that’s damn fast at opening large PDF files, it lets you pull documents from various online sources such as Dropbox and iDisk. It allows you to annotate documents and transfer them back to the Mac to view annotations in apps such as Acrobat Reader and DEVONthink. It’s a full featured app that, unlike many alternatives, doesn’t overwhelm you.
From my review, in case you missed it:
If you depend on PDF documents in your daily workflow and you don’t mind having the option to combine a fast engine (yes, faster than iBooks) with online services support and annotations, than this is the app for you.
With the recent 1.5 update, the developers added two features that manage to make the app a lot better. You can now enter text notes with your keyboard in a PDF document (just tap & hold, select Text and start typing) and place a signature anywhere. As you can guess, these options come in handy if you have to deal with PDF forms that happen to need a signature as well. Pull out your iPad, and you’re done.
If you still haven’t bought PDF Expert well, you should. It’s a great app, and it’ll take a huge effort for any other developer to catch up with it. Available at $4.99 in the App Store.
