The record

Purpose: AI PDF Reader lets readers ask questions about PDFs and follow clickable citations to the exact page.
PDF reading: The reader includes zoom and fit, rotation, continuous or single-page layouts, thumbnails, document search, text selection and copy, and auto-scroll with a reading-speed tracker.
Annotations: Users can highlight, underline, strike through, add notes and shapes, and bookmark pages; annotations and bookmarks are written into the PDF itself.
Free access: The product page says its useful free path has no time limit.
Pro features: Pro adds OCR for scanned PDFs, whole-document summaries, questions across open PDFs, premium and multilingual models, and optional cloud providers.
Local processing: With a local model, PDF extraction, indexing, retrieval and answering run on the device and continue working offline after model download.
Encryption: The maker says data is encrypted at rest and a private encrypted copy of annotations and bookmarks stays on the device.
Cloud model boundary: If an optional cloud provider is supported, the app identifies that route before use and the provider's terms apply.
Telemetry: Product telemetry is separate from prompts and results and can be disabled; it requires opt-in in specified privacy regions and Apple builds but may start enabled elsewhere.
Windows automation: The Windows edition includes a headless command-line tool that also works as an MCP server for querying PDFs on the user's infrastructure.
Languages: The interface follows the operating system language and is available in 16 languages.
Target users: The product page describes it for readers who need document-grounded answers and a direct path back to the exact page.
Maker: Software Tailor says it was founded in Hong Kong in 2007.
