    Also available free for iOS, but the in-app purchases kill the deal.

    Has anyone compared it with repligo pdf reader?

    • +5

      Ok in my 20mins of testing I found the following in comparison with Repligo.

      Pdf Max is:

      A tad faster to load a pdf
      Smoother in scrolling pages
      Scrolls vertically and not horizontally (which I preffered)
      Has about 4 extra annotation tools like insert live voice recording (which will only only seem to play on Pdf Max and and not other pdf viewers)
      Pdf backup option before you add annotations.
      Allows exporting to Dropbox
      Allows read aloud in other languages

      Only thing I can find that could be a negative is that it takes around 50MB of space as opposed to 11MB for Repligo.

      • Thanks a lot :)

    This is now free on the US site today. Found this review:

    One of the Best, and I Have MANY; also NO BAD PERMISSIONS!
    May 19, 2014 by Robert Reese
    Even more popular than Microsoft Word documents are PDFs. In all likelihood, PDFs are the most abundant forms of standalone document people encounter in their daily lives.

    [PRIVACY: Zero problematic permissions! Yay!]

    This means a PDF reader is exceedingly important. This one is more than a reader, it is a powerful annotator, which is one step down from a full-blown editor. As far as annotators go, this one is very powerful. It has the usual highlights, bookmarks, and comments. It also has shapes, free style, and many more annotations. It even allows different color combinations, coming close to an image editor in this fashion.

    Hidden, though, are even more powerful tools, such as the ability to copy, rearrange, concatenate (combine), delete, split (extract), and so forth.

    Instead of using my tablet for testing, I chose to use my phone which is a ZTE 5" Virgin Mobile Supreme / Sprint Vital.
    The app handled a >100MB file with hundreds of pages and chock full of images. It handled it so well, in fact, that even my more powerful Samsung Note 10.1 using RepliGo Reader doesn't do as well!

    The Dropbox integration works very well, and is very helpful.

    By the way, unlike RepliGo Reader which required me to have an internet connection the first time I used it, this didn't require any internet access or account.

    Two of the best features involve audio. You can attach a voice memo; I didn't test more than a few seconds, so I'm not sure how long of a message you can embed. The second, and even better, feature is the TTL voice reading which works quite well. It highlights the passages it is reading, too. The only downside is that you can't pause and resume, which admittedly is a big deal, and one that hopefully will be implemented.

    There are a couple more downsides: the resolution of scans are poor due to heavy compression. Also, there are no instructions and no settings. I'd love to have more control over certain things, and some documentation would help people find those deeply hidden yet so helpful tools.

    Despite these downsides, this is an extraordinary PDF tool! I really like my RepliGo Reader, but this will replace it as my go-to PDF tool from here on out.

    SUMMARY: More than a PDF reader, this is a powerful PDF tool, giving your Android as much power as any PC annotator I've found.

    BOTTOM LINE: Get it. Absolutely

  • I just tried it's no free asking for $8.51

    • Better deal in the US Store, has 240 free coins.
