    Hi!

    What's the best free app to modify pdf files on the ipad?
    So not just viewing a pdf file, but actually making changes in it, like
    filling out a form with additional information.

    Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

    The std pdf reader in the Files app can do basic editing and form filling.

    iBooks has access to the full set of editing apps for drawing and adding
    text.

    I've never had the need to use anything else.

    Thanks, that seems to work ok. The only difference I notice between
    books and files is that in books I can zoom in more, which can be useful
    to mark checkboxes in a form more precisely when using your fingers to
    draw. But I haven't tested it extensively so far.
