Why are post-grad students using iPads for their research?

There's no doubt that iPad is an excellent device to enhance education. Some of you might struggle while choosing good apps from thousands in the AppStore. We want to help you with this process. For that reason, we are highlighting feedback and use cases received from students, teachers and professors that are using PDF Expert on a daily basis for their studies.

"As a post-grad I have to deal with tons of scientific papers for my researches. I have to go trough them in order to find every small pieces of information that I could use later on. PDF Expert allows me, to always have my papers available, which would be impossible with physical document, so I always get that piece of information when I need it.

Another great thing about PDF Expert is its powerful rendering engine that lets me work with large pdf in term of size without experiencing any slow down while I'm navigating trough a document. Before, I was using a competitive software, it could take me up to minutes simply to scroll down to a specific page, which can become a huge waste of time at the end of the day.

Finally even though I get my papers from accredited sites, a lot of them are simple magazine scan with no OCR and are therefore nothing more than images of text. I love PDF Expert because it allows me to highlight sentences and add annotions no matter whether the text is recognized as text or not. Even on a computer that specific task is often a more complicated than it should be and rather imprecise, but with PDF Expert the task is done quickly and easily and I can simply sync trough the clouds to get that annotation back on a computer.
