PDF Viewer Online: Open and Read PDF Files

Open any PDF in your browser, free, with every page shown as it prints. The PDF is never uploaded: it opens on your own device.

Opening your file…

Open a PDF in three steps

  1. Click Choose a file or drag the PDF onto the box.
  2. Each page appears below, sharp on any screen.
  3. Read it, or click Print or save as PDF to print it.

Why PDFs look the same everywhere

A PDF stores its pages exactly as they were laid out, with the fonts embedded. That is why government departments, testing services and universities publish their job advertisements, forms and results as PDFs, and why a CV saved as PDF looks the same on the recruiter's screen as on yours.

PDFs job seekers open most

  • Job advertisements from public service commissions and departments, with the posts, eligibility and last date.
  • Application forms and bank challan forms to print and fill in.
  • Roll number slips, merit lists and results from testing services.
  • Syllabus and test pattern documents.
  • CVs and cover letters saved as PDF.

Looking for jobs rather than a file? See government jobs in Pakistan or today's jobs; each listing links to its official advertisement.

Reading scanned adverts

Many newspaper adverts are shared as scanned PDFs, which are photographs of the page. If the text looks small, zoom in with your browser (Ctrl and + on a computer, pinch on a phone). The page is drawn at your screen's full resolution, so zooming keeps it sharp.

Private by design

Online PDF readers usually upload your file first. Here the PDF is opened by your browser with its own PDF engine, and PDF scripting is switched off, so a PDF cannot run anything on your device. Nothing is stored after you close the page.

Save your CV as a PDF

The free CV Maker downloads your CV as a ready PDF. Open it here to check it before you apply, and run it through the CV Analyzer for feedback.

Other formats: DOCX viewer, Excel and CSV viewer, or the all-in-one document viewer.

PDF viewer: questions

How do I open a PDF online? +

Click "Choose a file", pick the PDF, and every page appears in this page at full quality. No app or account is needed.

Is my PDF uploaded to a server? +

No. The PDF is read and drawn by your own browser. It is not sent to CareersOz or anyone else.

Can I open a password-protected PDF? +

No. PDFs that need a password to open cannot be shown. Open it with the password in a PDF reader first.

How many pages can I view? +

The first 60 pages of a PDF are shown, which covers almost all adverts, forms and CVs.

Can I print the PDF? +

Yes. Click "Print or save as PDF" above the preview and pick your printer.

Can I view a PDF on my phone? +

Yes. Open this page in your phone's browser, tap "Choose a file" and pick the PDF from Downloads, Files or WhatsApp.

Can I edit or sign the PDF here? +

No, the viewer only displays PDFs. To fill in a form, use a PDF editor or print it and fill it by hand.

Why is a scanned PDF hard to read? +

A scanned PDF is a picture of paper, so its quality depends on the scan. If the text is small, zoom in with your browser (Ctrl and +, or pinch on a phone).
