PDF CabinetA better way to read and annotate PDFs

User Stories

Great help for meetings preparation

During my working day I attend quite a few meetings, the agenda and previous meeting minutes for which are emailed prior to the meeting.

Having the functionality of PDF Cabinet to make notes on the agenda and highlight previous minutes with future and completed action points makes my life a lot easier to review at a later time rather than having to maintain and refer to numerous paper copies. I also use the app to hold important manuals and documents; the bookmark facility takes me straight to the most commonly used references and the search facility the less common.

Useful PDF archive, reader and editor

I find PDF Cabinet very useful for collecting and storing PDFs that I want to read and mark up, either right away or later, when I have more time.

I like that I can keep the documents on my iPad for reading and reference and also use email to send them to my Mac complete with my markups. I often keep manuals for various programs and apps in PDF Cabinet because I can use the search function and bookmarks to quickly find the information I need. PDF Cabinet is a great tool for keeping track of my reading.

Perfect aid at the university

I am a student and in my case PDF Cabinet comes in handy when I need to work on multiple PDF articles that we have to read and mark daily. Each day we need to go through around 10 articles most of them found electronically on the web or in our intranet.

Instead of just printing them each time and marking them with my pen, I use Cabinet — in this way I escape a cluttered desk and the headache of losing important articles. I just store all important articles on the cloud. Collaboration and sharing features are another thing I use quite often; we have to work in groups, so if someone has already annotated an article, I can just access their notes through Cabinet.

The best PDF tool for education

As a Technology Integration Specialist, I work with teachers on a daily basis to help them integrate technology into their lessons. PDF Cabinet has been a game changer for so many of the educators I work with. The ability to annotate, highlight and share documents collaboratively has transformed how our school handles document workflows. I recommend it to every educator I meet.

It is awesome for grad student. Awesome app, one feature that I wish to have. When I am in lock zoom mode, when I go to next page I would like to be on the same viewing location of my previous page. Because PDF papers have side margins, 4 of them, those are for print out papers, on ipad we already have the margin on device, so I try to make full use of every pixel. after I zoom in, locate my view on content, lock zoom, it is great, But then I tap to next page, my viewing location is gone, frustrating, if you guys could improve this, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!!

Simply the best (and pun intended!) - I have virtually tried all the apps in this category but this one is simply the best! Simple effective and efficient. If they added more color options and the possibility to scroll down vertically THEN MY GOD NO AMOUNT OF STARS WOULD BE ENOUGH TO RATE IT!!!!!!!
Could have more colours

Great tool - Use this app for cross stitch. Just upload the pattern as a pdf. I can search for the symbol needed and it highlights all of them. Only complaint is when I search for example for Œ it will highlight both uppercase and lower case ie. Œ œ which in a pattern is two different colors. Would like it to only highlight upper case or lower case. Not both. Great for marking off stitches as they are completed but it gets a little lag when you do that. Find after awhile you need to save it with the annotations. Then open the saved one

Nice looking and functional design - The app is very clear and its structure makes me wish I can switch. The absence of Box syncing is for me a no-go but I will definitely check the next version
