does anyone have or know where to find a program which would enable me to open powerpoint files on my xda II
In addition to above comment

AjFoster I have used the pre installed clearview application on my XDA II with powerpoint files and it works well. I have the additional BackPack accessory so that I can do PowerPoint presentations using my XDA II connected to a LCD projector. That works great too.
Before I bought my XDA II I wasn iPAQ user and bought pocket slides for that platform. I can still use PocketSlides on the XDA II if I want full Powerpoint functions (create and edit as well as view) but in my case the clerview application is pretty much all I need at the moment.
What version PowerPoint files are you trying to open?
Is clearview compatible with all versions of powerpoint?
Ed
Thanks ed for the prompt reply. I am using powerpoint 2000 which according to the guidelines is compatible with clearvue. When i drag and drop the files from desktop to xda II they are converted fine but for somereason my clearvue just does not pick them up.
Any other suggestions?
Try to make a simple slideset with no animations, no bigger embedded pictures or some other fancy stuff
This will just test the compatibility...
You will have to go the the ActiveSync and uncheck the convert file area. For Powerpoint files you do not convert the file. I had the same problem until i readd it somewhere now it works like a charm.
Cheers
Thanks shanec i unchecked the conversion box and now clearvue works a treat. Shame that simple bit of advise wasnt available in help

Netfront
I managed to get Netfront working on my jasjar (after following the instructions from another forum). It does not work when my connection is wifi, but it does work with a 3g, gprs connection. You need first to open the standard explorer and connect to the internet (3g,gprs) and then close ie and open netfront. Works fine after that.
RSS Reader that actually aggregates?
I'm trying to find a reader that allows a 'river of news' style of usage ( http://www.reallysimplesyndication.com/riverOfNews )
i.e. It shows all the items from all feeds in one list in date order. Can anyone suggest one?
Is there a working version of the acrobat reader for windows mobile 5?
My imate Jas-jar came with Clear Vue PDF viewer included. I think it is bundled with WM5 however it does not appear in the programs folder. Try opening a pdf file, and I think you will find it opens in Clear Vue .
ClearVue doesn't seem to open about 75% of my files, which were all created on highest compression... Gotta find a better alternative. I had Picsel on my Palm before that was awesome.
ClearVue is on the companion CD, you need to install it manually.
ClearVue is the most ****ty pdf reader I have tried so far and was the initial reason why I asked for adobe acrobat reader for wm5 in here.
How about adobes own with a VGA hack for force it to high res? this is what i use.

Ok Bye
get tweaks2k and use the 'force vga' thing
Hi,
Have a look at a program called Styletap - apparently it allows you to run Palm OS apps on Windows Mobile v5.
I haven't tried it yet, but I used to own a palm with a few progs so I might give it a go.
It might help you run your old Palm reader.
Regards
Michael

You must download free Adobe 2.0 Version in ENGLISH !
That is the only one, work with the Universal.
All other Lang. are not working !
If it freeze during start, tap sometimes on screen,-it will works !
Adobe's version of Acrobat
Got to go with the Adobe version - sure its bloated and takes the usual age to load each time you start it fresh - but it beats clearview hands down

Bloated? It takes a couple of minutes to load for me!
Gimme a PDA version of Foxit, and hurry up 'bout it!
It took 15 secs to load on my Exec. Not great but at least it can actually read PDF documents unlike ClearVue.
Adobe reader for pocketPC v2.0 work well on my o2 mini.
If I can remove some plugin, it could be smaller in installation. Anyone can help which files to remove? Thanks!

Adobe acrobat 1.0-better than 2.0
Hi guys. Of cource i am looking for something better that could open all sorts of books like all of us.I stumbled upon this post and I see your issues.I must admit thet the embeded clearvue Pdf(if I'm right) suks and I never used it.Also I downloaded the Adobe 2.0 when I got my Jasjar,just to realize theat IT HAS 14 MB!!!.A lot .And loading ...and loading...
Anyways,I owned before mj jasjar an Ipaq and had adobe 1.0 on it.So I installed it on my partner(Jasjar) and it works wonderfully for me.
Opens up in seconds and does all that needs to get a book or a document.
I'll try to put it up here someplace. Let's see if I can figure it out.
I found something here as well: http://www.hpcfactor.com/support/cesd/s/0067.asp

Good Luck.

I have not tried this on the Wizard (currently waiting for one) but I have used SOTI Pocket Controller extensively on many PocketPCs over the years. I find it much better than the MS tool. Not free but not expensive.
www.soti.net
(I have no connection with SOTI)
I use the attached tool for quite a while now, on wm2003, 2003se and wm5 devices, it works great.
I got it somewhere overhere i believe, so the credits go someone else..
copy the 2577 folder to the root of your storage card,
then eject, and insert the card, the first time the device will
ask if you want to run autorun, and you do, so, accept it.
from now on every time you insert your storage card, it will make a
screenshot in that folder 2577, no matter what screen you are in or app.
you are running (for as far as i know then)
good luck with it !
Thanks for all the suggestions everyone, in the end I manage to grab a copy of Pocket-Controller Professional
I need to print PDF's to a bluetooth printer...i have tried printboy but it reformats my document and it is essentially unuseable...i tried clearview and the PDF is not visible unless I bring it into active sync first to allow it to create tags on the PDF.
Adobe Reader 2.0 for Pocket PC. I can view the document but the print button it greyed. What gives?
I would be fine with IR printing but it fails every time I fire a document.
Oh I have the Verizon 6700 version of the Wizard.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help I have been searching on and off for a week and it is driving me insane....
did you try following program?
JETCET PRINT
http://www.westtek.com/pocketpc/jetcet/
Yes i tried that software. I also tried it along with the Clearvue Pro. When I try to view the PDF in Clearvue it is blank. If I bring the same PDF in via Active Sync then it mentions that the PDF is untagged and if I would like it to attempt to tag. Once I run it through this I can see it and print.
The problem with this is that people in the field will be using this and they wont have access to Active Sync. They have to download the PDF and print on the fly.
Did you try using the adobe ppc pdf reader instead of clearvue? I think it is free. Also I think HP has some printer software/drivers. Dont know if it will work but worth a try.
Yes, I have tried Adobe Acrobat also the print button is greyed. I am trying to figure out how to activate it and have been on ADOBE's site in the forums but no one seems to know...also I tried to get the HP drivers but cant find them anymore. They say something on the site about discontinuing the drivers after Oct of 2005 or something.
If anyone has an idea how I can ungrey that print button or get the HP drivers it would be great. I can view my PDF perfect in ADOBE I just cant print.
Thanks again i really apreciate any help and I really need to get this working!
here is a link to download the hp mobile printing 4.0
http://www.pocket4you.com/freeware/index.php?vypis=jedno&id=199
Hope it works for you.
Great! I am downloading now. Thanks a million I will let you know how it works out!
hp mobile printing won't work because you're running WM5.
You may want to try this. It's expensive, but it may work for you. It has a 15 day trial period too.

Ok well I installed it but it doesn't seem to install properly. It gives me an error that it may not work properly because it was designed for a previous version of Windows Mobile. I am of course using Windows Mobile 5.
Any ideas or suggestions?
Any idea how I can get the "Print" button in ADOBE Reader for Pocket PC 2.0 active?
Weatheryoko,
I tried the bachmansoftware solution it is what I called Printboy. It does actually print but the problem is that its sends it somewhere forst where it converts the PDF. When it comes back down and I print it it completely reformats it all out of sequence. It doesn't "Paint" the way I had the report layed out...
I sent them an email this morning to ask them if they could pint me in the right direction as to how it performs this conversion and maybe that will give me insite on how to re-write my report so that the conversion wouldn't affect the content layout so drastically.
Haven't gotten any feedback as of yet from them

On the adobe site it says it works with bluetooth hp printers. Did you try to turn the bluetooth on the wizard on and pair it to the printer? Maybe you can pair the printer and phone using jetcet? Anyways these are some suggestions to try if you already havent. Good luck.
Yeah actually the funny thing is that I am using an HP 450 bluetooth printer...I can the jetcet application comes bundled with Clearvue professional (thats the only way it will print PDF as jetcet by itself doesnt see the PDF's) problem is when I open the PDF in Clearvue it looks blank...
I think it has to do with the fact it is an untagged PDF...
If i take the same PDF and bring it into the handheld using Active Sync it is tagged I can see it and print it...
It is super irritating that Microsoft didn't build native printing functionality into Windows Mobile to begin with...
I am still struggling with this...
Hi,
I searched the forum for an answer but couldnt find it, so Im sorry if this is a double post.
Right, Im pretty dissapointed with powerpoint mobile as it is not able to edit or create powerpoints. Even my old N95 could do that, so I defenatly expected the xperia as its a windows phone to be able to do that. So is there any other 3rd party program that is able to edit powerpoints?
Cheers
Yes. Look at www.softmaker.com. They make an office suite that runs on WM devices (as well as Linux and Windows) that imports and exports Microsoft Office files, including Powerpoint, very well. I've only played around briefly with their Powerpoint replacement (and only on Windows, not WM), but I've used their word processor on my PDAs and phones for years and been very satisfied. Highly recommended.
wow looks great. Will try it and report how well it works on the xperia.
Cheers
Works great. Thx
you would think that the standard office mobile would have features like this. looks like a nice program though.
