5 Useful Apps for Reading PDF Documents

There are times when it is vitally important for us to read certain documents on the mobile and we realize that it does not open them. Surely, your terminal did not come with any pre-installed application to read text files, so we will have to look for it ourselves in the application store. One of the most common file types that are usually consulted on mobile is the PDF. If you have tried to open one and the system has informed you that it is impossible to read it, try some of these 5 useful applications to read PDF documents.

Google PDF Viewer

One of the easiest PDF reading applications you can ever use. The 'Google PDF Viewer' is actually a kind of add-on for Google Drive with which you can open any PDF document. The application will not leave any icon on your desktop, it will be implanted directly inside Google Drive. In its main virtue it has, at the same time, its great weakness: it forgets to edit or send PDF files. This application will only help you to open and read the PDF documents that you have on your phone. No more no less.

PDF File Reader

An application that goes beyond the basic PDF document reader. With 'PDF file reader' you can, in addition to reading any PDF document, we can create our own files, scan documents and convert them into PDF format.The files that we have saved on the mobile, wherever they are, will be automatically recognized by the application, showing them on the home page. To create documents and scan them, all you have to do is access the settings menu, marked with three horizontal bars.

An application that you can download for free but contains ads inside.

Xodo PDF Reader and Editor

Another quite complete PDF reading application with a very good evaluation in the Android application store. With Xodo you can even take notes within the PDF itself, view the document on a double page, activate the vertical scrolling mode of the pages and even activate a mode night so as not to disturb anyone, if you are viewing the document in the dark.

When you open the application, you must give it permission to read the documents on your terminal and thus show you the PDFs you have stored. As soon as you open a PDF file you will see, at the top of it, a series of icons with which you can perform the functions that we indicated before. You can also connect to our cloud (Dropbox, Drive...) and all this without and with a free download.

A document manager that is not limited to the PDF extension but turns your mobile into a mini administrative office. With over 700 million downloads worldwide and garnering several awards such as 'Best App of 2015' from Google, WPS Office is an app that deserves worth a try.

You can create word and PDF documents, spreadsheets, presentations... If you are only looking for a PDF viewer, it may not be the best proposal , but if you are looking for a complete office application, WPS Office can be a good alternative.
