Chapter 18: Using GoodReader to Manage Files and Annotate PDFs
After completing this chapter, you will be able to:
- Recognize that GoodReader is one of the best apps for reading and annotating documents written in the portable document format (PDF).
- Understand that GoodReader is one of the best file managers available on the iPad because GoodReader can transfer files to and from virtually any brand of file server.
- Know that when you open a file with GoodReader, it gives you the option to transfer the file to other iPad apps that handle that kind of file; thus, GoodReader functions as a file-managing hub that can route documents to different apps on your iPad.
- Use GoodReader’s PDF annotating toolbar to type comments, create callouts, mark text for deletion, or draw freehand on the page of any PDF document.
- Understand that GoodReader stores these annotations as editable PDF objects that you can use in other PDF editors, such as Adobe Acrobat Pro.
- Know how to flatten a PDF when you do not want the annotations to be editable.
- Realize that GoodReader is one of the top-grossing iPad apps not made by Apple.
