PDF Reader 2.6.5.0
Those who want to read documents or comic books stored in PDF, XPS or CBZ formats can try a utility suggestively called PDF Reader. The application offers some special abilities like opening password protected files and sharing the documents in several ways.
Tidy looks bent on functionality
This app received a clean and fresh appearance, with a layout that favors those with a more practical sense. The files are easy to access thanks to the well organized way of displaying the items stored locally and inside OneDrive.
Regardless of their format, the documents open fast and the zooming capabilities can help you take a closer look at a picture or a piece of text from the loaded file. There is another visual enhancement users can select for the "Settings" area to invert the colors inside document for an original effect.
Load and view local files and documents stored in the cloud
Even if its name suggests it may be compatible only with Portable Document Format files, PDF Reader has several aces up its sleeve, as it can handle equally well XPS documents and comic book archives stored in the CBZ format.
The controls available when a file is opened are more than enough, but, unfortunately, there is no way of selecting multiple files from the local storage to remove them.
The ability to browse and open any of the supported types from local or remote storage is a valuable asset, but there is a lot more to this app. Sharing files through OneDrive is not the only way of transferring documents, as this utility is able to use the Bluetooth connection or email the files as attachments.
Inside the opened documents, you can benefit from other useful functions like the ability to jump to a certain page, lock the screen orientation, bookmark pages or look for specific text inside the files.

Bottom Line
Design / UI9
The looks of this app are quite fair and the clean interface can display the local files in several modes (two column, tiles, details). |
Function8
PDF Reader has some valuable features as it allows users to access files from OneDrive and share the documents. |
Security8
The application treats well the private information stored onto the handset, as it will only require access to the phone identity and leave other private user data alone. |
Battery7
The power consumption while PDF Reader is up and running at full speed is moderate, but loading large files can put some extra stress on the system resources and drain the battery faster. |
Price10
Thanks to the good set of features it offers at no cost, this utility deserves a good deal of appreciation because apps that can handle several types of documents are hard to come by, especially for free. |
Compatibility8
All Windows Phone 8 and above devices should have no problems in running this app, especially since it needs only a standard WVGA screen resolution to display everything properly. |
