The PDF reader opens documents straight away, without installing anything. Page thumbnails, the bookmark outline and full-text search make long reports, statements and e-books easy to move around in.
Because the file is opened on your own device, even confidential documents such as salary slips, bank statements or contracts never leave your computer. Password-protected PDFs open after you type the password.

Private by design
Most online PDF sites upload your file to their server. AK Smarts PDF opens and processes it inside your own browser, on your computer or phone, so salary slips, bank statements, Aadhaar and PAN copies, and contracts never leave your device. It works on Windows, Mac, Android and iPhone, and you can install it like an app to open PDFs with a double-click.
Questions
Can I open a password-protected PDF?
Yes. Type the password when asked and the document opens. Use Unlock PDF if you want a copy without the password.
Can I open PDFs by double-clicking them?
Yes. Install the app from your browser (or the Windows desktop app) and choose it under “Open with” for .pdf files.
Will the reader open damaged files?
It repairs small problems automatically. For badly damaged files, try Repair PDF.
Is AK Smarts PDF safe for confidential files?
Yes. Files are opened and processed on your own computer or phone and are never uploaded to our server. Only e-Sign sends a short fingerprint of the document, never the document itself.
Does PDF Reader work on my phone?
Yes. AK Smarts PDF works in Chrome, Safari, Edge and Firefox on Android, iPhone, Windows and Mac. You can also install it like an app.
