Best PDF Reader App for N7? - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does anyone know a PDF reader for the NEXUS 7 that is really really fast with scrolling and pinch and zoom specifically?

Both Mantano Lite and Adobe Reader do what you are wanting very well. I have found Mantano somewhat more useful for my needs. I suggest you try both since they are free and go with what works best for you.

Mantano Premium & ezPDF Reader & Annotator are my favorite.

I second ezPDF. It's really really nice.

Strangely the Kindle app seems to work better than Adobe Reader for viewing PDFs. Though you do have to open it via an external app like Google Drive unless you send them to your Kindle email address first.

Adobe Reader is the one I trust

ezPDF reader gets my vote. Much faster then Adobe Reader.

I use qpdf because it lets me fill out PDF forms and print them. Adobe reader can do this but for some reason it won't print what I input.

Adobe Reader reader question

I use my tablet for work and I often need to use pdf files and get signatures and fill out information. If I tried using Adobe Reader but it doesn't have the ability to save as different forms. Is there a app similar to that?

Try EzPDF, it may work.
It performed rather slowly on my Transformer, but maybe you will have better luck.

I second EzPDF, Repligo Reader will also do the job with annotations.

What readers are you using on your n10?

And what format are you using to read ebooks? Are you using some other app to get ebooks? Please share
Aldiko for Grey market epubs

My device is Nexus 10, currently using Adobe Reader for PDF reading, really eager for a reader with better experience. Can anybody advise?
I really liked ezPDF on my phone, don't have my n10 just yet (out for delivery today) but if it's as good on tablets as it in on phones, I'd look into that
Not very original I know but Kindle works superbly on the N10, I also have Adobe PDF reader, it's a bit bloated but works well.

One of the things I like about the Kindle reader is I can email the mobi files to my @kindle.com address, then that book is in my archive available for download and syncs across all of my devices.
I mostly use Overdrive that works with my public library.

Nook Reader. I subscribe to a number of magazines through B&N, and the Nook app is much better than Zinio. So I also use the Nook app for reading epubs. Calibre software manages it all very well.
Mantano reader is undisputed PDF and Epub champion of Android readers.
Moon is prolly the best for .chm. Still no really good reader for .djvu format
For magazines, I use Zinio - but not too excited about it, will try Nook when my subscriptions expire.
Mantano here as well. I tried a few and its the only one I found having no visual lag whatsoever when reading PDFs. Can't speak for other formats though.
I just got the kindle one a few days ago so far so good. I might try some of the other ones you guys have talked about.

+1 fro EzPDF but the Adobe one works fine for me without anyborders try with different views.
There is a crop option in EzPDF if you still can't get a fullscreen. This sometimes woks for me.
King soft office should do it

[Q] Which App is best for Annotation on a big PDF File?

hi,
i want to write some notes on a big PDF(book scanned PDF, about 500 MB).
But if i import this in S-Note, it takes too much time. so i gave up with S-Note.
The next App, which i tested was ezPDF. But there is no Eraser Button in ezPDF Write Mode. And the function "Undo" did not works well..
so i want to ask you, which App do you use for a PDF Annoation?
not so long there was a discussion on pdf annotating in this very forum, check here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2262433
I've really enjoyed polaris office

PDF Reader on iPad vs Note

So I returned my iPad air and everything is awesome. But one thing I can't get over is why PDF viewing on the Note 10.1 is so inferior to the iPad .
The Note has a better processor and more Ram, shouldn't the PDF viewing be super smooth? Is it an Android issue where PDF viewing is so slow?
On my iPad I could use GoodReader to open 4 different PDFs and it wouldn't really stutter or lag, but it seems like all the PDF apps for the Note (RepliGo, office suite, Polaris, and more) all seem to have trouble rendering even one PDF. The rendering issue is especially noticeable when skipping around.
Is anyone else as frustrated as me with the PDF situation?

Depends on the reader and the coder imho. I use mantano reader and its super smooth. Ezpdf reader lagged and stuttered on me no matter if I'm on my note 10. 2014, note 2, or my original note 10.1

Try PDF Max for reading, it is the smoothest PDF reader I've ever seen on Android, and it should be just as good as iOS.
Ezpdf, pdf max, or mantano reader, none hold a candle compared to smartq reader, speed wise, and when you skip fast through pages, it renders them smooth and clear, ezpdf is not smooth, pdf max and mantano reader are smooth but they both render the pages in a blurred way then "clear" it up, which I hate. Smartq reader is the only pdf reader that can render the pages fast and clear as they appear

Yes! Thank you so much, smartq is insanely fast. Not the best for annotation, but it's awesome for PDF viewing. I wonder why the other apps can't use a similar rendering engine.

You are welcome! I noticed it's a Chinese app, which comes with some quirks like confirm before exit, but the engine itself is really fast, even when dealing with pure image pdf
