GoodReader has long been the standard for Apple users who use a mobile device to manage PDF files. But for PDF on iPad, I don’t believe there is an easier, more impactful app out there.Overall Opinion: Being able to access PDF files on a phone or tablet can be a headache. Apparently, you can also edit straight onto the Goodreader program with a WORD doc but I have not tried it out. As hard as Apple pushes, I do not think Pages will replace the WORD doc in the near future. That works, too – but sometimes we do not have that luxury of time. It’s a heck of a lot more efficient than Truman Capote’s method of sticking the manuscript in the desk drawer and pulling it out a month later. This is a great tool for writers who want to get a “fresh” view of their work by looking at in another format. Somehow, the index makes the work seem less daunting. Depending on the next stage of work, your index could be one page or a hundred pages. It’s a terrific document for ticking off changes from one single document. The index becomes a bible for your future work. The index is hyperlinked to the specific page change as well as from the index back to the specific change. What does that mean? Essentially, all your notes are, of course, saved but you also have a complete index of every textbox change that has been made. Once you finish your changes on the pdf, you can save them as a “flattened annotated file”. They are all available in a range of color to suit your creative fancy. The great news is that there is a vast menu for annotations for that pdf: text boxes, hand written notes, highlights. So you can flip the pages just as if you were in the Kindle program. A pdf immediately becomes a book in the Goodreader program. Through Dropbox or simple email, get the pdf onto your iPad. Goodreader is the best free app I have found for editing, making notes and general research on the iPad.
