AndroidTapp.com Android App Review:

Pros & Cons:

Pros

  • View Adobe PDF documents on the go
  • Text “Reflow View” makes reading

Cons

  • Cannot open PDF files via the app, must launch from others
  • For Android 2.0+ phones

Features:

Adobe® Reader® for Android offers PDF electronic document viewing on Android phones. Although there are plenty of third party Android apps that allow PDF viewing, Adobe makes viewing via their app a bit stable and smoother. The best feature about the limited app is the text “Reflow View” which formats the document text for easy reading on mobile, no left-right scroll… only up-down, plus text resize options (Note: PDF must be properly formatted, doesn’t work on images as text in PDF).

One gripe we have is the lack in opening PDF files from the app. There is a list of “Recently Viewed” PDFs but no way to browse the SD Card or other apps to open documents. You must go either from a file manager app or email and open it with Adobe Reader, afterward it places this reference in Recently Viewed list.

Usefulness & Ease of Use:

There is not much to the app except allowing the ability to view PDF documents on smartphones. Comes in handy if receiving important presentations or documents on the go. The app is easy to operate and text Reflow View makes navigating and reading on the small screen all more easier.

    You can open PDFs from the app. It scans the SD card and memory for all PDFs and lists them in the PDF Files tab.

    My gripe with the current reader is that is doesn’t remember your position in a PDF and there is no way that I can find to jump to a page. You need these features if you are trying to read a 500+ technical manual.

    It does a great job of rendering. I hope they add these features soon so it is really usable.

    Adobe reader crashes my ZTE V9. So far is the only app doing that. I’ve seen in other sites several people with similar problem in various brands of tablets.
