[QUOTE="MinaMACMan, post: 1062739, member: 30053"] I checked out a few reviews for different apps that opened PDF files. GoodReader always came out on top and it had a few extra features. I like the fact that you can set a local WiFi server and connect to it from within the app and download the files directly to the app. It also supports different file formats, though I haven't put them all to test. Initially I though the DropBox iPad app. Unfortunately it didn't really do it for me. I couldn't access the documents offline. With GoodReader I can access my DropBox and download the documents I need for offline viewing. One feature that I like about GoodReader , though it is still in beta, is what they call PDF reflowing where it turns the PDF into a text file where you can copy text strings from the file to paste somewhere else. It's also much better at opening power point presentations that what the iPad would do natively. It integrates really well with all the other apps that need to open documents, you can just choose to open in GoodReader. Hope that answers your question. Cheer, MMM [/QUOTE]
