I need a good pdf reader app - Galaxy S III Themes and Apps

Does anybody know a pdf reader app that opens multiple pdf files at the same time and let users switch between them easily (for example by using tabs or something like that).

Reading Documents on Touch Pro2

Can anyone please tell me how I read documents on the TouchPro2 (I want to install some lengthy ancient scriptures) and what format they need to be in? Is there a Doc reader already installed or should I install a third aprty one, if so which?
I have few suggestions for you,
Isilo
Repligo
Foxit
Adobe Reader
DataWiz document reader
These are some of the best document readers as far as my experience goes. Google them, see which one fits your bill & thats it. Good Luck.

Adobe Reader good or not?
I'm not sure if I'm missing something or not. I've downloaded the texts I want to read, which are only available in pdf format. When I read them on the device with the ready-installed Adobe Reader, the text is too small to see. If I zoom in to get to a readable size, then the writing goes off the side of the screen, meaning I have to scroll left then right for every line. Am I missing something? Is there another reader for pdf which would allow me to edit the texts, or should I convert texts to another format, if so, which one? Sorry, but I'm new to this. Thanks for your help.
You can enable the reflow-option in the preinstalled adobe reader, so you don´t have to scroll back and forth. With a registry editor (if you don´t have one - get one!!) change HKCU>Software>Adobe>AdobeReaderLE2.5>EnableReflow from 0 to 1.
Now you´ll find the option in the adobe reader menu....
Thank you
Thank you so much michi123, just did it and it's fantastic. It's the first time I've used a Registry Editor. Wasn't too difficult but my gran couldn't do it and I wonder why such a basic need is so difficult to achieve. Anyway. I have the docs now which is great. But is there a better doc reader that allows some editing of pdf documents, with bookmarks etc for a better user experience? It is the main thing I want to use the TP2 for.

Note taking and PDF king peeps - step inside

Post what app you use to take notes and also read PDFs .
Notes :Used gnotes,
Just downloaded NoteIt- text, drawing, seems pretty solid out of the box, but can't comment on full usability yet.
PDF : Was on repligo , now back to ezpdf but still want Something smoother and better for annotations (note it has PDF support, but can't highlight)
I feel like I've tried everything but maybe apps have been updated or new ones have popped up (like note it)
Annnnnnnnnd typo in the title. Ocd is bugging out
I have been using Google Keep for notes. I really like it. It's simple, minimal, and the notes sync to your google account.
As far as PDF's go, I use either the PDF reader in Docs to Go, or the Kindle app. Both are pretty nice.
Notes:
Keep
Hashnote
For PDFs...well...I dont read PDFs, but I installed Adobe Reader just in case.

She has said it, And you said it again.
For notes, of course Google Keep.
For pdf files, Adobe's latest Reader app is pretty cool. Aldiko may also help.

Note taking for class in keep..hmmm.... Will give it a shot.

Looking for a PDF Reader

Hello guys
I'm looking for an app for my Nexus with some kind of way to open multiple PDFs at the same time and change between them quickly, for studying purposes. Adobe Reader doesn't do this. Do you know any app with this function?
Thanks

If you are only looking for PDF reader, then just go with any really. All are good!
However, you are looking for PDF reader + epub, mobi etc support go for moon+reader. It has speech and many cool options
If you are looking for PDF+ Office documents, just try office365
I am using both apps (paid versions) and there is not any app better than them in my opinion. Free ones are as great but Office365 free version won't let you edit documents.

I tried iannotate and it really has a nice system of tabs to open multiple PDF files and that was what I needed. But the App itself is a little buggy and not very fluent (can't even compare to Adobe). Do you know any other?
Thank you
Radaeel pdf , not sure if its compatible if you get it from playstore, but google the apk if u can't get in the playstore
QuickOffice by Google ?
Maybe OfficeSuite (not free)...
I never used a multi-pdf viewer so I couldn't really tell
Kingsoft Office?

You need EBookDroid.
HTML:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.ebookdroid
It's a great PDF reader, and I use it to read my university books all the time, jumping from one book to another.
I paid for Moon+ Reader Pro in the past, but I've found EBookDroid works a lot better.
I like Foxit.
I tried EbookDroid and even though I liked it, it doesn't have a decent way to change quickly between PDFs. I think I'm gonna stick to iAnotate.
just go for adobe reader.
Try RepliGo Reader, ability to add notes and stuff

I read a lot pdf's on my nexus and i tried most of pdfs readers and i can truly say that mantano reader is the best for big pdf files
Mantano is slow as hell and does not support in pdf files included page numbers.
I have to read an insane amount for school, so i personally use Moon Reader or Foxit for those few PDF's that Moon Reader has a problem rendering. Kingsoft is nice for just reading but doesnt have any good markup options like Moon or Foxit. Moon is pretty feature rich and has options for both day and night time reading to reduce strain on your eyes which is helpful if you have to go late into the night.
Cheers
I like Adobe Reader but the tabs system is really important for me. I study engineering and I need to have one PDF with exercises opened and another PDF with the theory, that's the way I'm used to work with my computer and I bought a tablet mainly because it's very light and portable.
The ability to write notes and underline words/sentences on PDFs isn't very important to me, I don't use it.
ezPDF reeder is the best on android, and 10% of GoodReeader on IOS
using xda app-developers app
I tried a lot of PDF readers only ones with both good text reflow and reversed/nightview ifound were ezPDF Reader (paid) and Adobe Reader. I think paid Moon+ has that too with PDFI. For epub it is by far the best imo and I am consisering buyong pro.
In my opinion every reader should have reversed/nightview for when one has to read much or at night.So ridiculous that so much pdf readers don"t have that or automatic resizing text to fit screen They shouldn't even be called a reader-app.
In EzPDF Reader you can switch easy to other pdf's via recent documents. It will remember the pages of all the pdf's where you were at. If that is what you mean. I like it a lot it has a lot of options. .
But if Moon + pro is as good with pdf as with epub I might switch in the near future. (It has better animated page flip with epub than Ez with pdf also by the way).
try SmartQ Reader.it's the best PDF reader that i ever used

I think EBookDroid's tab interface is very decent.

Importing & annotating pdf and ppt

I'm a total noob as I'm brand new to Android and Play Store and whatnot with my purchase of the Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014).
I'd like to import pdf or ppt into a program so I can use my stylus to annotate on them. From what I've read, apps such as S Note, Papyrus and Lecturenotes can do all of that. However, for whatever reason, I could never find the option to import the pdf or ppt in any of them. Can you please help a newbit out? Thanks very much!
@tandoru: As far as LectureNotes is concerned: LectureNotes cannot directly handle PDF, it needs a free helper app PDFView (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.acadoid.pdfview or http://www.amazon.com/Acadoid-Developer-PDFView/dp/B00CPR4L6K/) to convert the PDF file to its own format. Restart LectureNotes after installation, then there will be additional menu entries and the PDF import settings will be accessible.
PPT needs to be converted to PDF first.
Thanks very much!! I'll give that a go!
Transferring Hard Copy to Tablet
I have a similar question. I recently purchased a galaxy note 10.1/2014. My goal is to transfer my lecture notes, currently in a big binder, to the tablet. The notes are hard copy text with script annotations on many of the pages. I assume that I either need to take pictures of each page, and convert them into pdf files, or scan them into pdf files. What is the best way to do all this and organize the notes into folders for each lecture – HandyCam, CamScanner, S-Notes, Evernote, Lecture Notes, etc? Beyond this, I would like to add images and videos, if possible. Can PDF files be inserted into any of these apps, which would then allow further stylus annotations?
@grossm: How to best scan your documents is mainly a question of how many pages we talk about. If you have only a handful pages, a camera scanner is certainly fine; if you have more than a dozen pages, consider to purchase a scanner device, as you do not need to manually adjust page boundaries; if you have a lot of pages, consider a professional scanning service, which is certainly the most convenient but also most expensive solution.
In all cases, you will have a PDF file at the end (or something that can be converted into a PDF file) and you can import the PDF file into the notebook.
Thanks. I've tried the Canon app - works pretty well.

[Q] App for doing notes on pdf's and images

I'm looking for best available app (can be free or not, doesn't matter) for taking notes on pdf's and all sords of images. This app should meet below conditions:
1) can be used with s-pen
2) can open files (pdf's, images) in all sizes (for example Lecture Notes can only open pdf's up to a particular size)
3) should allow for basic sorts of styling the pen (different width of brush as well as color)
4) should be able to save in the same format the original file was opened
5) should give possibility for basic sharing (gmail, sms/mms)
6) should allow to write with s-pen, and at the same time to scroll and zoom-in with fingers (for example Acrobat Reader treats a finger as same as s-pen and just draws a line)
7) should scale past the boundries (for example acrobat reader only scales till a point you can notice pixel artifacts)
I've spent some time and I'm having trouble to find app that would sattisfy me. I think that the above is something many people would look for in these kind of app, but even so, I can't trace app like that. Lecture Notes (Which I own) is great for doing notes on lectures, but is not good for taking notes on pdf's and images. There is a nice app for pdf's "Note Anywhere", but it doesn't save/export pdf's after the notes were written.
What I'm looking for is basicaly:
1) I have a pdf/png with a large size (say 10000x10000)
2) I open pdf/png in application
3) I can zoom in and scroll using fingers
4) At the same time I can take notes using s-pen
5) When I'm done, I can export the pdf/png to original format with the written notes on it
Is there an app (or as last resort separate app for pdf's and separate for images) that will allow me that?

I have been through a couple of apps for similar needs and for your requirements skitch seems to be most suitable.
However you should reconsider 10k x 10k res sizes as just a bitmap of that size takes around 300 mb ram and might degrade performance.
With Skitch , you'll need commercial version to save pdf, however you can try free version for images and try working on pdf. Usually most image programs that allow annotations will cap at 2048 res or close about.
Thank you very much for taking the time.
I looked into skitch, but unfortunetly it does cap the pdf size. Not all apps behave like that to be honest. Adobe is one, ezPDF is another, and "Note Anywhere" is another one, so this functionality can be attained. The problem is, those app's have another issues with them.
The 10000x10000 res I gave as an example mostly has to do with pdf's, rather than images. I currently have a very big pdf single page sheet that I'm working on, which is a design workflow.
Pdf files Lecture Notes.
Via my Note 3
Try Foxit PDF. I used it with a text book and it worked very well for me, was able to make notations anywhere, highlight text, etc. Bonus, it's free!
