GoodReader for iPhone Now Includes DropBox


If you read pdf files on your iPhone, then you have probably heard of GoodReader already.  It is one of my favorite options for pdf documents.  It just does a fantastic job of formatting the documents to fit the iPhone screen, which not a lot of apps can do well.  One of the problems I have had, however, was moving my documents into the app from my computer.  That trouble is over now, though, as GoodReader (which is still only 99 cents) has now added DropBox support, making it easy to grab any documents and review them quickly and easily on your iPhone or iPod Touch.  Read on for the full announcement.

Good.iWare has released a new version of its GoodReader file viewer for iPhone that includes “server-style” support for DropBox. Now users can upload files and even entire directories to Dropbox from GoodReader, and are also able to delete files just like they could with a normal file server, such as FTP.

The most recent version of GoodReader offered a web-browser connection to DropBox, which enabled users to browse DropBox accounts and download files into GoodReader, but did not enable users to reverse that process and upload files from GoodReader to DropBox.

GoodReader is known as the top document reader for viewing and navigating large PDF documents on an iPhone. Besides its text search capability, other key GoodReader features are active hyperlinks, which enable users to more easily navigate within the document or launch a linked document or website, and PDF Reflow, with which text is extracted from a PDF page (stripping out pictures) and displayed as a simple TXT file in its own viewing pane. These features make GoodReader an even better choice for those who browse large technical documents.

GoodReader is available from the iTunes App Store for 99 cents.
