Since it's using standard Apple file sharing it operates when file sharing operates. Once that has been done, one time, then in the "toolbar" of various actions (appears in various places in the GoodReader app, there is a sync button you can press and the sync happens).

In the GoodReader app you can set up various "sync services", in particular you can set up your mac as a sync server. It also provides very good cropping options (something most PDF readers are useless at) so that you can crop out white space margins and make the text 10% or so larger.Īnd it has the usual collection of PDF annotation/note taking (by finger, or with an Apple Pencil). It also allows you to have multiple files open at once (I think up to 8) via tabs, like Safari it allows you to open multiple views on the same file (so you can compare one part of a file with another) and it allows you to split the screen so you can view two files (or two views of the same file) simultaneously. These two features mean if you have a large PDF library (more than 100 or so) it's very easy to keep them organized on your Mac and just sync the iPad to the Mac so the two sides stay in sync. you can set it up to sync with a Mac folder. it has nested folders so you can organize your PDFs I've constantly been VERY happy with GoodReader.Īmong the aspects that make it perfect for me:
