Love and hate, so we can define the situation between Apple and Adobe. The second announced that a second new application for iOS: Adobe Reader, which is operating in iDevices branded apple on the back. As creator of the PDF, we could imagine that the app for reading PDF of them is better than the others - that Apple's own included. Well, things are not so.
Adobe Reader (App Store) offers the most basic features of a PDF document reader. The display of pages is done continuously (one below the other), single page (one beside the other), and automatic (which I still do not quite understand how it works).
The survey also apparently works well. After placing the term I want to look in the document, Adobe Reader automatically displays one of them, with the highlighted word. At the bottom buttons appear to the app back and forth between the other results for the search.
As with iBooks (App Store), Apple's official app for reading digital books, Reader in Abobe's iPad send the document to display as if it were an attachment. According to the company, you can still mark the most important pages, but I have not figured out exactly where this feature is.
Anyway, this is an application that does everything that the iBooks do. Why download it? Because he read encrypted documents. Only the competitor Apple also does this.
What was missing in the app: at least one way to add notes and highlight the most important passages of text displayed. I bet it would be a killer feature for students and people who deal with a lot of documentation (eu!).
Finally, Adobe Reader is a free app with just under 6 MB. Fulfills the same functions as the iBooks. Is up to you to download or not. I confess I did not see much point in having it on my iPad.
