qPDF Notes vs Adobe Reader

[jlmtorch]

Anyone using qPDF on their Note 8.0?? Are the functionalities similar to the stock Adobe software or is it worth purchasing?? Thanks in advance for your feedback...on the fence with this one!

Dont know about qPDF, but I use Repligo Reader, which is awesome and worth the price.

qPDF Notes is similar to or better than Adobe Reader in most cases! We have all the usual PDF viewing/editing features like highlights/annotations, adding images, text reflow, filling forms, Dropbox/Box/Drive integration, and also support more form field Javascript than the rest of the options on Android!

The only issue I have is that when inserting images, they do not fill the image box completely. I contacted the company and hopefully, it is just a simple issue. Other than that, this app is way ahead of Adobe as Adobe doesn't fill forms designed in Livecyle. And, according to a response I have received, they "may" add it later......then again, I have seen that answer as far back a 2011.

I am using it on my Asus 10".

It is the ONLY app I have found that even tries to deal with a truly interactive form that has Scripts, Java, and other stuff it in.

It is not 100% Acrobat compatible as I have found some errors, but my form is a HUGE complex monster that really pushes the limits of what you could expect to do on an Android tablet..

For Most PDF users I expect it would be great.

I've been using qPDF on Androids, and most recently, we are using it on a Nexus 10. I created a form with some javascript calculations and validations. The form works great in native Adobe on the desktop, and also works perfectly on an iPad using PDF Expert (not Adobe Reader).

qPDF crashes, though, or simply won't implement parts of the code:

1. check boxes. I have checkbox fields that autopopulate with checks when a condition in another field is true. qPDF (or maybe Android) does not seem to display the check boxes.
2. as a test, instead of check boxes, I simply used text fields that get populated with the letter "x". In qPDf, the x's start to appear, then the form crashes (the app actually closed down).

Let me know if you want to see any of the code, would be glad to post it. In summary, PDF Expert has provided far more javascript support, but unfortunately, only for iOS, not Android.

Thanks for your consideration.

Not sure if you saw my post from August 26. I developed an Adobe form with javascript that works great on an iPad using PDF Expert, but qPDF is not handling it. I looked through qPDFs recent JavaScript support information, and I did not see anything offhand that I'm using that is not supported. However, the form starts to implement my code, then literally crashes (using a new Nexus 10 with KitKat operation system). Wondering if you picked up any tips and tricks about what JavaScript code qPDF works well with, and what to avoid, etc.?

Thanks!
