  1. Adobe’s Reader for iOS looks nice but it seems to be missing a delete PDF option. If you open a PDF in that reader, it is copied into that app’s “sandbox” (which is how all iOS apps deal with documents opened using the “Open in” feature.) and you can’t remove it. If you can, which I couldn’t find, it is using some nonstandard interface option to do it.

    But it sure looks nice.
