PDF files on iPad - the best apps
On the iPad, you can read and edit PDF files with various apps. But the selection is large and all apps have different editing tools. We'll show you the three best PDF apps that you can use to mark your documents and add comments, for example.

The popular "GoodReader" is a good alternative. You can search your PDFs here and manage your documents clearly. At 4.99 euros, the file manager costs just as much as "PDF Reader".
