Description

iAnnotate by Folia is the best way to read, annotate, and share PDFs, Microsoft Office files, images and web pages! Over 1 million people turn to iAnnotate to take notes, sign agreements, highlight documents, insert stamps and more.

New in v4: iPhone support, iPad Pro and multitasking support, automatic Apple Pencil detection, shape annotations, improved web markup, enhanced support for OneDrive (and OneDrive for Business), iCloud Drive, and iCloud backup.

iAnnotate’s award-winning interface and customizable set of features make it the go-to app for taking notes on lecture slides, annotating important business documents, revising screenplays, grading papers, and much more. Read on to learn about the great capabilities of iAnnotate:

IPHONE: Now you can use iAnnotate on your phone, with all of the great features you’ve come to expect on your iPad.

IPAD PRO: iAnnotate works great with the iPad Pro. Automatically annotate when you use the Apple Pencil and easily pan, zoom, scroll with your fingers — no tool switching required. Get more work done with iOS multitasking and smart keyboard shortcuts.

ANNOTATE: Choose from the pen, highlighter, typewriter, stamp, straight-line, note, underline, strikeout, photo, voice recording, arrow, rectangle, circle, and date stamp tools.

CUSTOMIZE: Drag and drop tools to your custom toolbars. Swipe between toolbars, or open the Toolbox to access all your tools.

ACCESS: Connect with Box, Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive (including OneDrive for Business) or open PDFs directly from email and other apps.

SEARCH: Search documents in your local library and throughout your cloud storage.

SHARE: iAnnotate saves your markups directly to the PDF, so they can be viewed and edited in external PDF readers.

FLATTEN: Compress your annotations onto the document to prevent modification. This is useful for preserving signatures or for preventing recipients from deleting or changing your annotations.

WEB MARKUP: Open a web capture tab and find the site you want to mark up. iAnnotate will convert it to a PDF for annotation.

NAVIGATE: Explore your documents by thumbnails, bookmarks, annotations, or search results.

UNLIMITED TABS: Open multiple documents in tabs, and easily navigate between them, on both tablet and phone.

TWO DOCUMENTS: Work on two documents side-by-side, for even greater productivity.

MANAGE: Arrange documents by folders and sort contents by date added, date last opened, or alphabetical order.

CREATE: Create brand new PDFs with blank, lined, or graph-paper pages.

MODIFY: Add, delete, rotate, and rearrange pages in your documents.

SUMMARIZE: Forward a summary of your annotations as an email or a new PDF.

SECURE: Full support for the iOS Data Protection and Keychain functions.

Great App but want some new features

Absolutely love this app as a PDF reader. The annotation tools are great too. But I hope there can be a dark reading mode and maybe a yellow background mode. To match the system’s dark mode and result in a better reading experience in the dark environment. Otherwise it is pretty good.

A great app but what support?

I have used iAnnotate for years, I’d be lost without it however just lately it refuses to air print. I have a workaround, I send the pdf file over to the files app and print from there. IAnnotate finds the printer and then it looks as if everything is ok, I print the file but nothing happens, no errors and no print out. As I can print from other apps I have to assume the fault is in iAnnotate. I hope it’s fixed in the next update and soon. I still give iAnnotate 5 stars as it’s a brilliant app.

Update: The print issue remains, an unsupported app is a poor offering and there has been ample time to fix this issue. As it stands the app deserves only 2 ⭐️s.

Excellent, but one request from a left handed person

Excellent app. One request: it would great to be able to switch the ribbons from one side of the screen to the other. This would help left handed people. For example, when highlighting I need to tap the ribbon on the right side of the screen to start highlighting and then tap the ribbon at the top right to stop (or do a long tap on screen). This means as a left handed person I need to reach across screen. Would be great if I could do all of this on the left hand side of the screen! Thanks kindly

Developer Response ,
