Adobe Reader for Android and iOS received a hefty update today, adding a slew of new features and enhancing performance across the board. We’ll highlight these new features for you below and then send you over to the Adobe blog where they have done an excellent job at explaining what has been added and improved in the latest Adobe Reader update.
Here’s at look at all the new features added to Adobe Reader for Android and iOS:
- Sticky Notes – You can now create and modify sticky note comments and place them anywhere on a document.
- Text Markups – Reader 10.2 supports creation, modification and deletion of text markup annotations, including Highlights, Strikeouts and Underlines
- Free-hand drawing tool – Reader 10.2 brings with it full support for creating free-hand annotations.
