Got an iPhone, iPod Touch or an iPad? It is very easy to read PDF on iPhone, iPad or iTouch. You can use iBooks or other PDF readers. Or you can convert PDF to ePub format for reading PDF on iPhone.
View PDF on iPhone with iBooks
To read PDF files on iPhone, you can use the latest version of iBooks app, which is available in the iTunes store for free. After installing iBooks to iPhone, you can do the following steps:
Step1. Open up iTunes, add PDF files to iTunes. After adding, right click on one specific PDF file, select Get Info, select the Options tab. Then you can add any missing info - the authors name, the published year, etc.
Step2. Select your iPhone from the Devices list in iTunes. Sync the books to iPhone.
Step3. Open iBooks, you will see a PDFs button on the top. Tap it to view PDF on iPhone.
Read PDF on iPhone after conversion
Although iBooks can directly read PDF files, to get more convenient and a beautiful bookshelf offering a better reading experience, you can try to convert PDF to ePub format, which is the original and default iBooks format. And with the ePub format, iBooks has all the page turning and dictionary, etc.
And for converting PDF to ePub format, you need iStonsoft PDF to ePub Converter, which is easy to convert from PDF to ePub with zero quality loss and fast speed.

Read PDF Files on iPhone with PDF Reader App
There are many PDF reading apps developed for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. Here I list 3 PDF reader apps to help you read PDF files on iPhone:
1) Aji Free PDF Reader
The Aji Reader [iTunes link] is a nice and simple-to-use PDF reader. With it, you can download a document straight from the web using the URL, or you can fetch it from their server. The only drawback is that you need to know the URL if you want something specific.
2) iPDF
iPDF is a simple to use app, which offers the ability to search and store the PDFs right on your iPhone. However, the overall appearance is awesome, and the search capabilities are not intuitive as other PDF readers.
3) Dropbox
Dropbox is an incredibly useful app for you to read PDF on iPhone. It also allows you to share documents between computers. Simply click on the PDF which you want to read, click on the little star at the bottom of the iPhone screen, then the document will be saved to your Dropbox favorites.
