Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: QRCodeReaderAir at 100% against PDF Reader's 56%. QRCodeReaderAir also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). PDF Reader's advantage is ratings volume (4K vs 2) and chart position (#13 vs unranked). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
