- Intuitive user interface that allows you to do exactly what you want
- Fast and easy document skimming and review with thumbnails sidebar
- Ultimate performance – optimized for really large documents (within reason, of course)
- Annotations sharing - send annotated documents to anyone, and mark up will show up in any other reader
- Interaction with other Cabinet users - send annotations only to your friends or colleagues using Cabinet – much faster, less traffic
- Real-time collaboration with your friends or colleagues – annotate the same document together from several iPads

What’s New
Version 2.8.12
We continue fixing PDF Cabinet after neglecting it for some time. This time we chased down a couple of crashes and improved the text annotations UI.
We keep PDF Cabinet free, so if you enjoy using it, spread the love by leaving a positive review for us!
Ratings and Reviews
I never write reviews, but I depend on this App!
I’ve been using this app to save PDFs including recipes, CVs, and other documents of all kinds. I love that they can be annotated and shared with/without my notes, and saved into folders so they can be found again. It’s one of the most intuitive apps on my iPad.
In fact, I’ve got so much important stuff in there that it occurred to me I would be lost if I couldn’t access it! Please tell me if you ever plan to discontinue it, which I hope won’t happen.
Some suggestions for developers- it would be fab if docs could be shared to social media straight from the app, or be put on a clipboard so they could be pasted wherever. Also, make it usable on an iPhone? Although I know it would be difficult to read/annotate etc, I would find it useful to be able to save straight to the app from my phone rather than having to email myself docs to later save on my iPad.
In the meantime, I thoroughly recommend it and urge you to try it!!
Whoopee, an update!
As a long term user of the Cabinet app I was both surprised and delighted to see that an update was available. Over the ten plus years I’ve relied on this app it has served me well despite having a collection of several hundred PDF’s, some of them 200mb plus in size. A handful of crashes have occurred and many times the app would only relaunch after a cold reset of the iPad. Hopefully this update will improve the stability still further. The one feature I do really miss is the ability to add new folders that will sync with iCloud. However, the folders I had already set to sync on an older version of this app still sync flawlessly. It is important to me to have all my PDF’s backed up. Perhaps the developer(s) might consider reinstating his feature? (Please!) I blushingly admit that I have had brief dalliances with many other pdf apps but this is the only one that I would marry - it is a superb app and used daily.
Developer Response ,
Harsh, but fair. We couldn't support the live sync, so we had to take it out.
Excellent
Five stars, without hesitation.
There is, however, one thing missing for me: stickers / stamps (which help me to visually categorise and tag particular paragraphs I read). This hasn't been overlooked though, it would be nice, but it clearly wasn't part of the desired effect.
