PDF Reader

Open a PDF to read it — zoom, search the text, jump through its bookmarks, look at its properties and print it. When you know what it needs, send it to any other tool in one click.

Why use PalPDF for this

Find anything in the document

Search highlights every match on the page and steps through them with Enter, across hundreds of pages.

See what the file really is

Title, author, page size, PDF version, dates and the application that made it — the details another viewer hides in a menu.

Private by design

Files are processed by your browser and never uploaded, so the document stays on your device.

How to PDF Reader

  1. Open your PDF — Drag it onto the page or choose it from your device.
  2. Read and search — Page with the arrows or thumbnails, zoom with Ctrl and the wheel, search with Ctrl+F.
  3. Keep going — Print it, download it, or send it to the editor, Compress, Merge and the rest.

Questions

Can it open password-protected PDFs?

Yes. Enter the password when asked; it is used on your device to open the file and goes nowhere else.

Does it change my file?

No. The reader only looks. To change the document, send it to the editor or another tool from the Do more panel.
