Adobe Reader for Android

Adobe Systems today announced the launch of the official distribution of the free version of Adobe Reader for the Android operating system. I remind you that this development, long awaited by many Android users, was announced by the company at the Google I / O conference, when company representatives announced the release of the first native application for working with PDF files.

At the moment, you can download the program from both the Android Market and the Adobe website, but only if your device is running Android 2.1 and higher.

At the moment, the application provides basic functionality for reading PDF files (automatic page orientation for the device position, support for multi-touch gestures, and smooth page scrolling), but Adobe promises that new features will be added soon, including at the request of users.

Translation of the official announcement from the Adobe Reader developer blog:

Following some cool news from Adobe with Google I / O last week (the end of development of Flash Player 10.1, the availability of AIR pre-release for developers for Android and Flash Player 10.1 on Google TV), I am very pleased to announce that Adobe Reader is available for Android today in the Android Market. Whether you are online or reading emails, you can now use Adobe Reader to access PDF files on your Android device — for free, of course. We hope you enjoy the new app, and we look forward to your feedback when you check it in action. Interested in new features? Let us know, and we are already considering some ourselves. Would you like to see the product on other platforms? Stay with us.

Adobe Reader for Android offers multi-touch gestures, such as zooming with a “tweak” and by double tapping the screen, scrolling with your finger, and panning. We also added a “reflow” mode, which takes the text of heavy documents with wide margins and automatically adjusts it for easy viewing on small screens.

The advantage of Adobe Reader for Android is that it easily allows you to work with large files than the size exceeds 15 megabytes (this is important, since working with files of this size on mobile devices is often difficult due to the rather small amount of available RAM).

Also, according to Adobe, now quite a significant number of PDF files are sent as attachments in emails. In the presented application there are several functions that allow you to quickly view such attachments.
