GoodReader
What it is
GoodReader is a file viewer and PDF tool for reading, creating, converting, editing and annotating documents. Its PDF features include annotations, signatures, form filling, page cropping and rearrangement, splitting and merging documents, and extracting pages. Text-to-speech is also supported. The app can open PDF, TXT, MS Office, iWork and HTML files, along with images, audio and video. File tools let users copy, move, rename and compress files and folders, and automatically sync folders to remote servers. Supported connections include Dropbox, OneDrive, Google Drive, Box, WebDAV, AFP, SMB, FTP and SFTP, as well as email server access and attachment downloads. GoodReader is available on iOS, and its App Store listing says GoodReader 6 adds Mac compatibility. The listed GoodReader PDF Editor & Viewer purchase costs $5.99, paid once for iPhone and iPad. Pro Pack is an optional subscription for advanced features beyond the standard app purchase; its price and subscription period appear in the app before purchase, and some options may include a trial. The maker says Pro Pack provides AES-256 data encryption and describes its privacy and server-connection practices.
