Adobe has finally released an iOS version of Adobe Reader! With it, you can view PDFs, including encrypted files, and print and share files. What you can't do, is edit PDFs.

Even though Adobe is late to the game with this, I must say that I was rather surprised when I learned that Adobe has made this app available for free.

Adobe Reader is the free global standard for reliably viewing and sharing PDF documents across platfoms and devices. Easily and efficiently access the widest range of PDF file types—including PDF Portfolios, password-protected PDF documents and Adobe LiveCycle rights-managed PDF files. Now available for iPad, iPhone and iPod touch, Adobe Reader offers fast, high-quality interaction with PDF.
