A fast, clean way to read a PDF on any device: drop the file and it opens in a viewer with page thumbnails, zoom and fit-to-width, single-page or continuous scrolling, and a dark interface that leaves the pages themselves untouched. Password-protected files open after you enter the password.
Because the viewer is also an editor, you are one click from highlighting a sentence, adding a note or signing — but nothing changes unless you choose to. The file never leaves your device.
