How to use PDF Reader

- 2Scroll or use the page controls, zoom, fit to width or rotate the view.
- 3Search for words, switch to Annotate to highlight, or open the file in another tool.
Good to know
- Search finds text in PDFs that contain a text layer. Scanned pages are images, so their words can’t be searched; use the marker to highlight them.
- Rotating the view doesn’t change the file. To keep annotations, save them from Annotate mode.
- Existing text in a PDF can’t be edited here; annotations are added on top of the page.
Supported files
- Input
- PDF, up to 150 MB
- Output
- Nothing is saved unless you annotate or open another tool
Processing happens on your device, so very large files depend on its memory. Free, with no sign-up or watermark.
What people use it for

Scanned pages are pictures, so they have no text to search. Run OCR PDF to add a searchable text layer.
No. Rotation in the reader only changes how you see the page. Use Rotate PDF to save a rotation.
