Description

ClaroPDF Pro is an accessible, reading and study PDF tool for all. Annotate, mark up, listen to and save PDF files which are then still fully compatible with other popular PDF apps. Have accessible text PDF files spoken back to you with human quality voice & synchronised highlighting. PDF image files or photographs of text can be converted to accessible, searchable PDF files using the Claro Cloud conversion service.

+ Speech, Productivity and Accessibility
Alongside the full range of iOS system voices, ClaroPDF Pro lets you choose up to 4 high-quality voices for free, in the languages of your choice. A ‘Speak in Background’ option lets you listen to a PDF while viewing another app - great for proofreading PDF files while you’re working in other apps. The ‘Speak on tap’ and ‘Stop on tap’ options make speech easy to control.

+ ClaroPDF allows the background colour of the PDF to be changed, and text colour inverted, to enhance readability. ClaroPDF fully supports VoiceOver.

+ Annotations, Notes and Comments
ClaroPDF includes a powerful Annotation toolbar that lets you add notes and other comments. These are fully interchangeable with most other popular PDF apps, so your ClaroPDF comments will still be there if you open the PDF on another device. Annotations created in another PDF app can also be viewed and edited.

Annotation features include: highlight; underscore; strikeout; notes; free text (type straight into the PDF); free line draw; shapes (circle, square, line - with many options); images (you can even insert photos from your iPad camera or photo library into the PDF file); audio and video.

+ Photos and Image PDF to Text PDF Conversion
You can convert photos and other images to fully accessible text PDF files that can be spoken, searched, copied and highlighted. As well as converting photos, you can also convert any PDF Image file into a fully accessible Text PDF file. Along with making these PDF files accessible and searchable, it will also compress them, reducing file size. 5000 pages and photos can be converted using the 5000 included credits. Further credit can be purchased in app. Photos and Image PDF to Text PDF Conversion in ClaroPDF uses the Claro Cloud conversion service and requires an internet connection.

***Minimum camera spec: 2MP***

+ Managing PDF Files
PDF files can be opened in ClaroPDF from all other apps, including Mail and Safari. All opened PDF files will be placed in the ClaroPDF Documents List for later viewing. You can also open files from Dropbox, Google Drive, or import files via iTunes. PDF files can be saved into ClaroPDF’s Documents, Dropbox or Google Drive, sent by email, or opened in other apps that support PDF files. The ClaroPDF Documents List is fully customisable, allowing you to organise your PDF files and folders.

+ Sync with iCloud
You can sync ClaroPDF with your iCloud account. This lets you store and synchronise your PDF files and annotations across multiple devices. Sync with iCloud can also act as a document backup so you can keep your documents safe.

+ Save as PDF Extension
The "Save as PDF" Extension lets you convert text and images to PDF files from Safari, Notes, Photos and other apps using the iOS "Share" feature. When converted, these new PDF files will appear in your documents list inside ClaroPDF.

+ Included Text to Speech Voices
Download any 4 of our high quality text to speech voices. CereProc Heather is also available in-app for free. Once you have downloaded your free voices, other Nuance Expressive, Acapela and CereProc voices are available to purchase in-app.

2 (~2) Stop speech
3 (~3) Turn to previous page
4 (~4) Turn to next page

Best in the App Store

This PDF Reader/Annotator is arguably the best in the Store. It is, as far as I know, the only PDF Reader that offers a choice of background color. When this feature is combined with a very wide range of annotation tools,the colors of which can be adjusted at will, one has an annotation palette that is unsurpassed and easy to use.

My go to app for ear reading

This is an awesome app! Highly recommend for people who find eye reading painfully slow. I use this approach to quickly synthesising mountains of journals needed to complete assignments because through constant us and practice I have substantially increased my ear reading speed over time.

Web reader is gone

No warning, just updated to find out that I can no longer make PDFs from a webpage. It's true that it was buggy and the webpage would flash to blank a lot but if fixed it would have been a terrific part of the app. I was using it a ton, when it used to work, then when it went buggy I used it when it worked. I'm really disappointed this time as all I see are updates to the display and a loss of a potentially great function without warning. It's still a good/reliable app for viewing, annotating and listening to PDFs read back to you. It's just no longer a one stop shop for me.

Developer Response ,

Hello, thanks for taking the time to review our ClaroPDF app. You might have found this out by now, but we didn't remove the webpage to PDF feature, but rather, we moved it to a different location. It can now be accessible from the Share button in Safari or Google Chrome.

I hope this helps.
