Features & Capabilities

PDF Reader is a lightweight, user-friendly extension for viewing, managing, and sharing PDF and other document formats (DOC, PPT, Excel) on the go. Features include one-click PDF reading, quick page navigation, device-wide file discovery, multi-file merging and seamless sharing — all wrapped in a clean, intuitive interface that makes finding and reading documents fast and simple.

Note on permissions: On Android 11+ the app requests MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE to provide reliable access across folders, SD cards, and non-standard locations and to enable background/offline operations (file preview, persistent access, multi-file actions). This permission is used only for essential file operations required by the app’s core features.
