Today, Adobe Reader for iOS is available free on the Apple App Store. This new PDF reader makes it easier than ever to view and interact with any PDF file on your iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch. Now you can quickly and efficiently view the widest range of PDF file types – including PDF Portfolios, password-protected PDF documents and Adobe LiveCycle rights-managed PDF files.
