Conclusion
Good iWare's Good Reader is head and shoulders above the other applications in this survey. A few more pdf-handling iPhone apps have shown up on the AppStore since I blew $20 USD buying the above-mentioned crop, and I'll be testing the Good Reader against them in a forthcoming article.
Clearly, there's a lot of scope for PDF applications on the iPhone. Some features that offer real potential for business (such as the ability to digitally sign a PDF) simply aren't available yet. Of course, digital signatures have yet to take the world by storm in any event, so perhaps iPhone developers don't yet feel the call. I see it differently -- if users could fill forms and approve final PDF documents from their iPhones, I tend to think that would offer more value than the price of a (cheap) cup of coffee.
All applications surveyed may be downloaded from Apple's AppStore.
Thanks to Magazinify.com, it's possible to have web articles delivered right to your inbox in PDF form. If that weren't enough, the nice folks at CNET have been nice enough to publish a step-by-step guide about how to set this all up using just a little time and a free Magazinify account.
OK, so you want to stamp your document. Maybe you need to give reviewers some advice about the document's status or sensitivity. This tip from author Ted Padova demonstrates how to add stamps with the Stamp Tool along with related comments.
