Pattern Reader keeps an imported PDF, a movable reading guide and saved checkpoints together so you can resume where you left off. HOW IT WORKS 1. Open Pattern Reader from Projects. Import your unencrypted PDF or explore the clearly labeled reader-practice document. 2. Choose the PDF page, position the highlighted band with the Guide slider, and advance the independent reader-row count. Undo restores the prior row, page and guide position. 3. Save named bookmarks, return to them, resume from the library or share a reading-progress report. Delete a reader copy when finished to reclaim its storage. Existing project counters, pattern-repeat notes, linked counters, row reminders, optional hands-free counting, focus timers, references, finished projects and JSON project backups remain available. Pattern Reader stores its own PDF copies and progress separately; existing project backup files do not include reader PDFs. WHAT TO KNOW Manual reading aid only: no chart recognition, stitch interpretation or automatic project-counter changes. Page turns are manual. Reader row and guide positions are independent of knitting instructions. Up to 10 PDFs, 30 MB and 200 pages each, with a 120 MB PDF library limit, 50 bookmarks per pattern and 100 undo positions. iPhone and iPad.
