This is a discussion on Finally: Native PDF Reader (PDFViewer) within the Third Party Applications category of our iPhone Forums; This went up on Installer/iBrickr yesterday (perhaps the day before). Seems to work OK on most files, not so good ...

Finally: Native PDF Reader (PDFViewer)
This went up on Installer/iBrickr yesterday (perhaps the day before).
Seems to work OK on most files, not so good on very large PDFs (like the iPhone User Guide). I've been using Apache to view stored PDFs locally via Safari (which can read the iPhone User Guide just fine). But hopefully PDFViewer will get more robust as time goes by.  -- Mike

Doesn't the iPhone already read PDFs? I've been able to open PDFs and read them...

I have been using AirSharing which I picked up in the AppStore. It allows you to save PDFs to the iPhone and read them at any time. The rendering is excellent, but it does have problems with large files too.
Features I'm looking for in the ideal reader would include the ability to navigate to a specific page in the document instead of always starting at page one. Also having the app remember the page where you were last time the PDF was read. Lastly, the ability to read a PDF that has been password protected would be great. Anyone seen a reader with these features? |
