Does pretty much everything I need In a PDF, including creating and storing signatures for future use, and has complete editing capability, all free! They have it for all platforms, completely free, unless you plan to use or add the AI package. I'm going to end my Acrobat subscription and use this! It has all the functionality I need. It's very light in terms of the UI, which is preferable over the silly/redundant options that Acrobat reader employs. The user interface is excellent!

Best PDF reader/editor ever! Use it on all my devices. I just can't believe it's free. No annoying ads. No gimmicks. No cloud services yet which I dont like anyway. So much easier to use than AAR. This app has a great user interface with all the bells and whistles you can ask for: edits, converts, and signs documents.

Great for reading, highlighting, & annotating PDFs. No ads or unecessary frills. Two things that would be nice: (1) ability to bookmark folders in the home screen, to more readily open documents from local storage; (2) option for "snap" movement (instead of continuous horizontal or vertical scrolling) between PDF pages.

We’re glad to hear you’re enjoying PDFgear. We appreciate your suggestions as well. The ability to bookmark folders and the "snap" movement for page navigation are both great ideas, and we’ll consider them for future updates. Thanks again for helping us improve PDFgear!
