SimplyPDF

iOS iPad

UPDATE PENDING: We are aware that with the latest version of SimplyPDF that the "Open In…" functionality does not work correctly requiring the app to be closed completely before the PDF is accessible. A fix and update for this issue is pending.

SimplyPDF makes reading, and organizing, your PDF documents as simple and as natural as it should be. CRAZY simple. With SimplyPDF, you can read through an entire PDF document without ever moving your thumbs!

When first introduced in 2010, SimplyPDF was on Apple's "What's Hot" list for almost a month. And SimplyPDF was even recommended then by John Gruber of Daring Fireball as his PDF reader of choice! Today, there are dozens and dozens of PDF utilities available, but using those apps to simply read PDFs is like trying to figure out the Space Shuttle's control panel. And just try rotating your iPad to the landscape mode - do those other apps make your PDF any easier to read? No! Bottom Line: SimplyPDF is the one app that you will use every day to store and read your stacks of PDF documents!

SimplyPDF does away with all the scrolling, dragging, zooming, and pinching you're used to when trying to read PDFs. Instead, SimplyPDF lets you browse through your PDF document without ever moving your hands, or losing your grip on your iPad. By just using your thumbs, SimplyPDF moves you intelligently through your entire PDF.

If the fonts in your document seem small, just turn your iPad to Landscape mode, and SimplyPDF will scale your document to the entire width of the screen - not just display a micro-version of the PDF in portrait mode. And if you want to get an even closer look, SimplyPDF has a Focus feature where you can eliminate space-consuming margins to zoom in even closer to your documents.

SimplyPDF lets you organize your PDFs into “Stacks”. Any PDFs that you add using iTunes File Sharing or from emails or directly from the web will automatically be placed in the Home stack. From this Home stack you can create and label your own stacks, with stacks in stacks, and move individual PDFs into a stack, or move PDFs from stack to stack using a clipboard.

NOTES: By design, SimplyPDF does NOT try to do everything - it lets you simply read PDFs. SimplyPDF does not let you open PDFs and annotate, change, highlight, mark up, edit, etc. SimplyPDF does not enable hyperlinks or display notes within a PDF document. You simply read from page to page and navigate to other pages farther away with a slider. It is what it is, and we're still guessing that you'll end up using SimplyPDF for all of your PDFs.
