P&P PDF Reader
PDF Reader & Annotator
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad
P&P PDF Reader is an iPad PDF reader and annotator designed around one simple idea: reading and marking up PDFs should feel as natural as working with paper and pencil. The app requires an auto-renewable subscription; all features are unlocked with a single subscription, and a 7-day free trial lets you try everything before being charged.
The app keeps the PDF and focus at the center of the experience. When you open a document, the page becomes the workspace, with fewer distractions and less time spent reaching for toolbars, panels, and menus. Read, highlight, write, navigate, and switch between documents while staying focused on the content itself.
Built for Apple Pencil, P&P PDF Reader makes annotation feel immediate. The pen is always ready, so you can start writing directly on the page. Use Pencil gestures to highlight, select text, activate lasso tools, or erase, keeping your attention on the document rather than the app interface.
P&P PDF Reader is guided by four core principles:
Distraction-free reading
Keep the PDF content on screen and reduce interface friction, so long reading sessions feel calmer and more focused.
Natural paper-and-pencil annotation
Write, highlight, sketch, and mark up documents with a workflow that feels close to annotating a printed page or notebook.
Ergonomic iPad handling
Hold the iPad naturally, like a book or sheet of paper. The app is designed to support real reading postures, including resting your thumb or fingers near the page while reading and annotating.
Privacy and control
Your PDFs, notes, highlights, and annotations remain yours. The app is designed so your documents and annotations are NOT collected, analyzed, or stored on app servers.
Key features (subscription required):
- Read and annotate PDFs in a focused full-screen workflow
- Write naturally with Apple Pencil
- Highlight or select text with Pencil gestures
- Use lasso and eraser tools through configurable Pencil actions

P&P PDF Reader is especially useful for students, researchers, professionals, and anyone who spends serious time reading PDFs on iPad. Whether you are working through academic articles, technical documents, books, reports, lecture notes, or reference material, the app is designed to keep you immersed in the page.
It combines the tactile feel of paper-and-pencil reading with the speed and flexibility of digital documents. Read comfortably, annotate directly, move between PDFs quickly, and keep your work private and under your control.

P&P PDF Reader 1.1 — store release notes
Split view for links: a link can open its destination in a second, fully
annotatable pane over the top or bottom of the page. Drag the bar to resize it,
and choose in Touch Shortcuts which finger tap opens the split view.
Six link targets: save the page and spot you are reading as Target 1–6 from the
pen or text selection menu. A button strip beside the split bar reopens any of
them; long press a button to label it. Two- and three-finger swipes open targets
1 and 2 directly.
Shape recognition: draw a line, arrow, rectangle, triangle or ellipse and hold
the pencil still to get a clean shape you can resize before lifting.
Auto-lasso and a transform box: a quick closed loop around existing ink selects
it. Selections come up in a box with resize handles and a rotation knob, and
survive the automatic return to the pen.
A richer lasso menu: a pen/marker toggle, a one-touch free lasso and a screenshot
rectangle. Any selection's image can be copied or shared.
Copy with reference: copy selected text together with a citation built from the
PDF's metadata, the page, the file name and a link that reopens the file at that
page (plain, Org-mode or Markdown).
Settings are now a menu of pages, with Done on every page. Show Battery puts the
charge level in the corner of every screen.
Also: scratch-out erases dots and long lines; a pause in small handwriting no
longer counts as a long press; ink is saved at the width it is drawn so other
readers show the same stroke; dot-named folders and PDFs are shown and synced;
jumping to a highlight, search match or link blinks a box around the spot;
Quick Access can add or remove several files at once.
