PDF readers have always been a pretty tricky niche. Either they are used in work environments to create and fill out forms, or we use them to read ebooks on the tablet. In either of the 2 cases, many times this type of apps end up giving more problems than anything else. Today, we review the best PDF readers (and editors) for Android available on Google Play, plus a few ebook readers in EPUB format.

In the following list, we include Best PDF Viewers - Lightweight, Ad-Free, Fast & Free Readers.
