PDF apps for iPad

I'm looking for a PDF app for the iPad that would allow me to make notes/annotations on PDFs, then transfer those files to a computer with the annotations intact, and be able to print/edit and retransfer them back to the iPad again.

Does anyone know of such an app? Do apps which let you annotate store the annotations in a format that's usable by standard full Acrobat on the Mac or is it some proprietary data that's only visible on the iPad itself?

Thanks.

I use goodreader but not sure if it will allow you all the edit functions:

However, others have posted that this app has full fledged edit functions: iannotate

iAnnotate and PDF Expert do what you need. I prefer PDF Expert.

I use iAnnotate a lot for this although I have started to use Goodreader. IAnnotate will do what you want. Goodreader is easier to sync with Dropbox (although iAnnotate isnt bad in this regard) but I a still exploring annotating the PDFs with it. I will probably try PDF Expert, thanks for that suggestion.

If you want it for regular docs use GoodReader. You can annotate documents. If you want it specifically to annotate music use For Score.
