Mumaura PDF Reader
The first truly Homely, Simple, Offline PDF reader — built with care.
A quiet corner for students, parents, and anyone who loves to read — safely and simply.
MummaApps started with a simple problem: My mum hated apps that blasted her with ads and sold her data to ad agencies.
So I built her a cleaner alternative. No stealing data. No tracking. No nonsense.
Why This Matters
- Most popular apps upload your data or show aggressive ads
- Some even transmit your PDFs to the cloud silently
- Others track your activity for targeted marketing
- Data collection is common practice — even among apps from large, well-known companies.
We say NO to shady practices.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I read, create, or download PDFs for free?
Yes. PDF itself is a free, open file format — you never have to pay just to open, read, or download a PDF.
You can download PDFs shared on websites, emails, or official portals and open them locally on your device using Mamaura Offline PDF Reader.
Mumaura Offline PDF Reader lets you open, read, search, annotate, print, and listen to PDFs 100% free, ad-free, and offline. Mumaura does not require subscriptions, accounts, or cloud sync just to read PDFs.
Some software companies sell optional cloud or advanced editing features, but paying is never required simply to view or download a PDF.
Is Mumaura PDF reader without ads, free and offline?
Yes. Mumaura PDF Reader is completely free and ad-free. It does not show banner ads, pop-ups, upgrade prompts, or trackers.
Once a PDF is on your device, Mumaura works entirely offline. Your files stay on your phone and are never uploaded anywhere.
Do I need Adobe to open or download PDFs?
No. PDFs do not require Adobe or any paid software to open.
Mumaura can open, read, annotate, search, translate, find definitions, print, and listen to PDFs entirely offline, without accounts or cloud services.
Mumaura focuses on privacy, offline use, and simplicity — so your PDFs stay on your device, not in the cloud.
Why can’t I open or view some PDFs online?
PDFs are not regular web pages. Most PDFs must be downloaded or opened using a PDF reader, especially on mobile devices.
Some browsers like Chrome can preview PDFs, but this depends on:
- your browser settings
- file size or security restrictions
- whether the PDF is scanned or protected
If a PDF does not open online, downloading it and opening it with Mumaura is the most reliable option.
How do I open a password-protected PDF?
If you know the password, you can open the PDF normally. When a protected file is opened, Mumaura will ask for the password and unlock the document securely on your device.
If you do not know the password, the PDF cannot be opened. Password protection is designed to prevent unauthorized access, and Mumaura does not bypass or break PDF security.
If you are the document owner and have forgotten the password, you’ll need to recover it from the sender or recreate the file using the original source.
All password handling happens locally on your device. Your PDFs are never uploaded to the cloud.
Can Mumaura speak text aloud?
Absolutely. Tap the speech icon to hear the current page—or the entire PDF—read aloud. Supports multiple Indian and global languages.
Enjoy full playback controls: Play, Pause, Stop, Next, and Previous. You can also adjust voice speed and pitch. See the complete feature list here.
How is Mumaura different from Adobe or other readers?
Download Mumaura Offline PDF Reader if you prefer a reader that feels calm, homely, and personal — not corporate or cluttered. Meticulously crafted through countless late-night sessions — with smooth curves, eye-friendly themes, and silky animations — Mumaura is the private, ad-free way to open, search, annotate, print, and share PDFs entirely offline.
Mumaura revolves around three core values: privacy, speed, and simplicity. No log-ins, no subscriptions, and no forced cloud sync — just you and your PDF, wrapped inside three beautiful themes that make reading comfortable.
Unlike many readers, Mumaura also supports a fully translated, multi-language interface — across menus, dialogs, pop-ups, forms, and messages — so you can use the app in your own language, whether Indian or international.
And when you’re opening large or complex PDFs — like architectural drawings, heavy scanned documents, blueprints, or textbooks — you can switch to Lite Mode. It loads pages faster, reduces memory usage, and keeps everything smooth even on older or budget phones — while still staying completely offline and private.
Even my mum loves the uncluttered, distraction-free interface.
Can I change the app’s theme or background?
Yes. Choose from Lilac Lavender, Midnight Jamun, or Muddy Steel—all available for free.
Can I save and share my annotations?
Absolutely. Mumaura lets you highlight, underline, strike through, scribble, and attach notes—then export or share the PDF with every annotation preserved.
What is Lite Mode and when should I use it?
Download Mumaura Offline PDF Reader to experience Lite Mode — a streamlined reading mode built for speed, clarity, and low-memory devices.
You can enable Lite Mode anytime by tapping the top-left Settings icon and selecting Lite Mode.
Lite Mode is perfect when you want to:
- open large or heavy PDFs instantly
- read without extra tools or distractions
- reduce battery and RAM usage
- focus completely on the text
In Lite Mode, advanced features like search, annotations, and speech are temporarily disabled — delivering the lightest, smoothest reading experience, especially on older or budget phones.
How can I explore all of Mumaura’s features and get comfortable quickly?
Meet Aura and Mutron—our friendly in-app robots that guide you through a step-by-step visual tour of every feature. You can also tap the “View Tutorial” button inside the app at any time, or simply email us at support@mummaapps.com and we’ll be happy to help.
How do I translate text inside a PDF?
In the February 2026 update, you can translate text directly inside any PDF. Long-press to select a word or sentence, and tap the floating button to translate it. This works great when reading documents in other languages without leaving the app.
Can I look up meaning or understand text inside a PDF?
Yes — in the February 2026 version, you can select any text to explore its meaning. This helps when you're reading PDFs in unfamiliar languages or technical content and want quick context without switching apps.
What is the reading experience like?
Expect pure immersion: you can hide Aura, Mutron, the app bar, and bottom controls so the PDF fills the whole screen. Need an even lighter touch? Activate Lite Mode when you just want to read—no search, annotation, or speech features—giving you the fastest, cleanest experience possible.
What makes Mumaura stand out on low-end phones?
Mumaura puts clarity, speed, and privacy first. A special Lite Mode loads PDFs quickly while using minimal memory, so even older devices get a smooth experience.
Does Mumaura support multiple languages?
Download Mumaura Offline PDF Reader to enjoy a fully translated, multi-language reading experience — across menus, dialogs, pop-ups, forms, and error messages. The entire app UI follows your phone’s system language automatically.
Indian languages supported:
Hindi, Marathi, Malayalam, Tamil, Telugu, Bengali, Kannada
International languages supported:
Spanish, Arabic, Russian, French, Portuguese (Brazil), German, Indonesian, Swedish
To switch languages, simply change your phone language from:
Settings → System → Languages → Select English / Hindi / Spanish (or your preferred language).
All translations work offline — no cloud fetch, no tracking, and no network calls.
How do I print a PDF file using Mumaura?
Download Mumaura PDF to open, review, annotate, and print your PDFs completely offline. Once your file is open, tap the Print option to send the document to any printer available through your phone’s system print service.
You can print:
- forms you have filled
- annotated documents
- highlighted or marked study notes
- clean copies in Lite Mode
Your PDF never leaves your device — no automatic uploads, no background sync, no ad networks.
Can Mumaura import JSON, XML, XFDF, or FDF files?
Yes — download Mumaura Offline PDF Reader to open and work with PDF form-data companion formats such as:
- .json
- .xml
- .xfdf
- .fdf
These files are commonly used for exporting and restoring form field values such as names, addresses, checkboxes, selections, and signatures.
You can open supported files directly in Mumaura, review their data, and use them alongside your interactive PDF forms — fully offline.
How do I use JSON / XFDF / FDF files with a PDF form?
Download Mumaura PDF to fill and edit interactive PDF forms offline — including text fields, dropdowns, list boxes, radio buttons, checkboxes, date fields, and signatures.
If your form data is stored in a JSON / XFDF / FDF file, you can open it in Mumaura, review its contents, and keep it alongside your PDF for reference while filling the form.
Once completed, you can save the filled PDF, print it, or share it — all while keeping your data local, private, and on your device.
Does Mumaura work offline while using multiple languages and form files?
Yes — download Mumaura Offline PDF Reader for a 100% offline, ad-free, and privacy-first experience.
- Language translations run locally on your device
- PDFs are never uploaded to the cloud
- No accounts or sign-ins required

Whether you are reading, annotating, filling forms, importing data files, or printing — everything stays safely on your phone.
How do I change the voice or language in text-to-speech?
Download Mumaura Offline PDF Reader to listen to your PDFs using your phone’s text-to-speech engine — with support for Hindi, Marathi, Malayalam, English and more.
You can switch voices or languages by:
- Open your PDF in Mumaura
- Tap the Speak Aloud button
- Open Voice Settings
- Choose your preferred:
- Language
- Voice style
- Speed
- Pitch
Local TTS voices run fully offline for better privacy. Some network voices may require internet and cloud processing — the choice is yours.
Does Mumaura support scanned PDFs?
Yes — download Mumaura PDF to open scanned PDFs, image-based documents, camera scans, study notes, and photocopied pages.
Scanned PDFs behave differently from text PDFs since the content is stored as images. You can still:
- zoom smoothly
- highlight & annotate
- add notes and comments
- print or share offline
For very large files on older phones, Lite Mode helps pages load faster while keeping everything private and offline.
Why can’t I edit or copy text from some PDFs?
It depends on how the PDF was created.
Text-based PDFs (such as documents exported from Word or office tools) allow text selection, copying, and searching. Mumaura fully supports searching and selecting text in these PDFs.
Scanned PDFs or image-based PDFs store pages as images. Since there is no real text layer, text cannot be selected, copied, or searched.
Similarly, PDFs created using “Print to PDF” may flatten text into images, which also prevents copying or searching.
While some PDFs allow interaction through form fields such as text fields, date fields, checkboxes, list boxes, and signatures, the original document content itself is not always editable. Mumaura lets you highlight, underline, annotate, scribble, and add notes. You can also search and copy text from text-based PDFs.
How do I set Mumaura as my default PDF reader?
Download Mumaura PDF to open your files offline by default. If another app keeps opening PDFs, you can set Mumaura as the default viewer.
On most Android devices:
- Open Settings
- Go to Apps → Default Apps
- Select Open by default
- Choose Mumaura Offline PDF Reader
You can also clear defaults from other viewers, then tap any PDF and select “Always open with Mumaura”.
Why is Mumaura safer than cloud-based PDF readers?
Download Mumaura Offline PDF Reader if you value privacy, offline reading, and full control over your documents. Many popular PDF readers:
- upload PDFs to the cloud
- send usage data to analytics networks
- show full-screen ads and trackers
Mumaura does the opposite — everything stays on your device. No logins, no sync servers, no telemetry, no ads, and no data harvesting.
Your PDFs belong to you — not to the cloud.
Can I export or share annotations and comments?
Yes — download Mumaura PDF to highlight, underline, scribble, and attach notes — then save or share your PDF with every annotation preserved.
You can:
- share annotated PDFs
- save highlighted study notes
- export forms with comments
- print your marked-up copy
All edits are stored locally and remain available offline — so your work is never synced or uploaded anywhere.
Does Mumaura work on older or low-end phones?
Yes — download Mumaura Offline PDF Reader for a smooth experience even on budget and older Android devices.
Performance is optimized through:
- Lite Mode for fast loading
- low-memory UI transitions
- clean, uncluttered layout
- offline-first processing
You get clarity, speed, and privacy — without ads or distractions.
