Adobe Acrobat Reader (free version)

The reader is mainly meant to allow you to view a PDF document, but you can also comment/annotate, share, sign, print, collect signatures, and fill out, and save forms.
Here are the limitations of Acrobat Reader, both in desktop and mobile versions:
- It does not allow you to edit the text and images in a PDF.
