View each file just
the way you want

Open a single PDF or several files in multiple windows and view them page by page or cross-check information with the two-page mode. Freely rotate each page and zoom in and out in an instant using predefined settings or custom zoom amounts. Create quick snapshots of the currently viewed file and place them inside other PDFs or share them with others to see. These are just some of the possibilities - the rest is up to you.

Continue exactly
where you left off

Add bookmarks to instantly return to your favorite chapters or draw the attention of your coworkers by highlighting important passages. Forgot to place a bookmark? Finding specific words or phrases throughout the text is made simple thanks to the built-in search tool. Go one step further and use PDF Extra's powerful annotation features to leave comments, insert text boxes, attach files to texts and images, or stamp and sign documents.

Print and share
your work

Fine-tune the way you print by choosing if you want to print the entire PDF or just specific pages. Go full power user mode and dive into advanced page settings, such as orientation, page mode, collation, sizing, shrinking of oversized pages, or printing the whole file as an image. If you prefer a more eco-friendly approach, you can also share your PDF via email as an attached file or directly copy a shareable link after uploading it to the cloud.

Read any PDF
on your mobile device

PDF Extra is built from the ground up to be more than just a Windows application as it can also be installed on any iOS or Android phone and tablet. Whether it's viewing or scanning a PDF document, reordering pages and combining different PDFs together, or printing and sharing files, you will find all options present even on the go. You can further optimize your workflow by uploading all of your files to the MobiDrive cloud so that you can open them on any device.

FAQs

Can I read PDF files for free?

Absolutely! PDF Extra's free plan allows any user to seamlessly open and view PDFs locally or from their cloud storage on all supported Windows, Android, and iOS devices. All annotation options, such as comments, highlights, stamps, and others are also accessible in the free PDF Extra version.

Can I read PDFs on my mobile phone or tablet?

Yes - PDF Extra is available for all supported iOS and Android devices and is just as fully featured as the Windows version.

Are all PDFs viewable?

Technically, yes, as long as the PDF in question is not password-protected or using some other type of file encryption system. In some cases, while you may be able to view the document using a PDF reader, you may not have permission to edit it or perform any other advanced actions unless someone is willing to share the password.

Can I view more than just PDFs?

While this functionality is not set up right out of the box, there is a quick workaround. Premium users have access to our powerful convert feature, which can transform Word, Excel, Powerpoint, ePub files, and even images into readable PDFs, all the while preserving their original texts and formatting. Even if you then decide to re-convert these files back to their original file formats, everything will still remain just the way it was before.

Is PDF Extra available just for Windows?

If a consistent viewing experience is something you value highly, then this alone might be a good reason to download our PDF reader. We worked long and hard to ensure that each PDF you open on your Android or iOS device will look and function virtually the same as the ones you view on your Windows 10 or Windows 11 system.
