What I'm worried about now is that apps will be able to contact the internet and pass on the PDFs that I'm reading.

You can change the pdf name, size, metadata, disable content copying, transform textual or ocr-ed pdf into bitmapped etc. and then password protect it and/or rar it using additional password.

Or just use trustworthy apps. A reputable app like Goodreader isn't going to send your PDF anywhere.

Thanks for your reply!

I've got Adobe Reader installed. How can I use Adobe to read PDF files that are located in Dropbox?

You need a dropbox app. You run dropbox and then share the file, Adobe Reader will be a choice. You can then remove the one in dropbox if you wish.

My choice readers are the iPad mini 3 and Kindle Voyage. Depending on where I'm going/ what I'm working with determines what reader I bring with me. Both devices work flawlessly for reading. And they even synch the book so I can go back and forth.

That sounds great. Do you have a particular PDF reader you use?

Although it's certainly true that you can do so, it's difficult to understand why you'd want to when there are apps like GoodReader which are so much better for PDF.
