Hi Peeps,
I have a 20mb PDF installed on my Tytn. ClearVue can open the pdf, but when I try and scroll down the document I get the progress bar at the bottom like its trying to display the page but instead it closes the application completely.
I have downloaded Adobe Acrobat for Pocket PC version 2, however it fails to install and states its not got a trusted certificate.
Can anyone help?
Cheers
Pdog
I could be wrong, but I highly doubt you'll be able to open a 20MB file. You probably don't have enough RAM available...
I have a similar problem with ClearVue as well. In my case it immediately closes when trying to open any PDF file. Anybody an idea is really appreciated.
Thanks

Also i've the same problem. Pease help us !!!! Thanks

ClearVue PDF
I was using CV as it came installed in my Dopod. It must suffer from some sort of memory leakage or other gross memory management flaw since it takes forever to "redraw" even a small document of less than 70Kb. I tried to ope a 1.4MB document and went ok, aside of the time it took to display each page. In short, it is useless. In spite of no specific support mentioned on Adobe's web site, I went on and installed Adobe for PPC 2.0. It worked flawlessly! For those of you who are interested in downloading the app, here is the link: http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2_mobile.html
Disregard the warnings referring to compatibility and/or certificates. It should run perfectly. As for screen redraw speeds, no comparison! Adobe PPC2.0 beats CV hands down!
Finally, does anybody know how to uninstall ClearVue? Is it possible at all? If not, I may have to use Pocket Tweak to redefine file extensions for Adobe PPC
Cheers
Hi All,
Had my Dopod838pro for 1 month, now had problem
ClearVue PDF - Dopod program.
Whenever I click this program , will show this error
message:
A problem has occurred with gwes.exe.
Please tell Microsoft...
- No third party program installed yet except those from Dopod
- Done soft reset but still same problem.
- Cannot find this software in Remove Program
Can any one pls advise on how should i reinstall or remove this program or recitify this problem.
Thanks for reading.
hihi,
I have same problem with sylvester. Anybody know solution, please kindly help. Thank you.
I managed to get the ClearVue PDF working again
after 2 hard reset. On the first hard reset, ClearVue is better but still seem to be having the some problem, so I tried a second reset after which is OK. Maybe you should try that.

That's worth a try. Also the Graphics, Windowing and Events Subsystem (GWES) controls the graphics output. Some folks have found that having cleartype enabled causes errors.

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.
can you be more specific about that vga hack ? Also; iahev tried to install adobes acrobat reader, but had no luck ....

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.

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

Hi,
I've installed Skype and Acrobat Reader v2.0 on my brand-new Qtek 9000 (Italian ROM, v. 1.13.75 ITA). Even though both are supposed to be compatible with WM5.0, none of them happens to work. When I tap on the respective icons, a rotating raibow-disk cursor shows up - as if the application was being loaded - than it disappears and nothing happens. The application doesn't even appear in the list of running programs under Settings/Memory. I've tried unistalling and reinstalling many times, both on the device and on an external storage card, with no results.
Does anybody know how to solve this problem?
Ciao,
RoB
RE
Acrobat Reader v2.0 installed on my SD card works well without problem
both work fine on my SPV @ Qtek 9000
I had the same problem with Skype.....looks like it is starting but then nothing happens That said, it did load up once or twice.......out of loads of attempts !
I had the same problem with the Acrobat Reader newest version.
Finally i uninstalled it.
Problem solved with Skype!
Hi,
the new version of Skype for Qtek 9000 works fine, now! You can download it at he following URL:
http://skype.com/products/skype/pocketpc/download.html?device=qtek_9000
I still have problems with Acrobat Reader for Pocket PC v2.0, though... I wonder how the same program can behave differently on supposedly identical devices. Evidently, the problem depends on some "extra flavours" added by the various brands that commercialise the Qtek 9000. By the way, my device is unlocked, that is it can accommodate any SIM card.
Any advice on registry tweaks that can help solve the problem? Since Acrobat Reader DOES run on other Qtek 9000 devices, it definitely cannot be a serious compatibility issue.
Acrobat Reader works if Pocket Hack Master is not running.
I had the problem with Acrobat Reader 2.0, but it worked in 'Safe Mode' (Part of SBP Pocket Plus). So I set about running various apps to find the conflict, and it works just fine for me if I exit Pocket Hack Master before loading acrobat.
Hope this helps.
I've heard rumours about only the english version of Acrobat Reader is running on WM 5 at the moment.
@riccioberto: I suppose you used the italian version?
Best regards,
tomestos
Acrobat Reader now works but can't be uninstalled!
Hi,
I followed tomestos' advice and downloaded the english version of Acrobat Reader for Pocket PC.
Before installing it, I unistalled the Italian version from the PDA by using ActiveSynch (I used the command for removing the application from both the PC and the PDA).
ActiveSynch DID NOT remove the application actually, but it DID remove it from the list of installed applications on the PDA!
When I tried to install the English version, I was asked if I wanted to uninstall the Italian version before. I replied "yes" but the application could not be uninstalled, so the installation of the new version failed...
But - this is the incredible part of the story - now Acrobat Reader works! It is in English and characters on screen are awful - not exploiting VGA mode, I guess -, but works.
The only problem is that I can't uninstall it in the normal way, so I'll probably have troubles with installing new releases.
Any idea on how to solve this further problem?
Regards,
Roberto
Adobe Reader Issues / Solutions
There are a number of Acrobat issues I am aware of and some solutions. Would love some help with the rest!
I have an Imate JasJar (and previously a PDA2k). These come with an application "ClearVue PDF" which allows you to view PDF files. However it doesn't "reflow" the text to make it easier to read on a small screen and doesn't support ebooks which are encrypted with Adobe's DRM. (Just about any ebook you pay for.) Therefore I prefer Adobe Acrobat Reader which is free. The only downside is the memory used and hassle for installing.
Issue 1 - ClearView PDF
After you install Adobe Acrobat; ClearVue PDF is still the default application for openning PDF files.
I have not found a way to uninstall ClearVue PDF. However as there appears to be no executables under program files then I don't believe you would save any memory. I only wish they didn't waste ROM space but that's outside my control. (I'm not into hacking ROMs.)
The easiest solution is to use a registry editor to delete the key...
PocketPC\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\pdffile
...BEFORE installing Adobe Acrobat Reader. The install then sets up the correct file associations and all is well.
Issue 2 - Acrobat starts and then closes
I have found that if you install Acrobat Reader to a storage card then...
You can launch the application and open a file - works OK.
If you open a file from Explorer (or other tool) then Acrobat appears to start up. It even shows you the reflow warning message. However it then closes! (Making it pretty useless.)
Work-arround - Install to memory. Not great because the Jasjar doesn't really have enough memory for my usage. (Today screen apps really need to be installed in memory in case you need to take out the card.)
Solution??? - Help!
Issue 3 - Activating
I've had lots of hassle activating both the PC version and the PPC version.
Solutions...
a) Install the latest version/update on the PC.
b) Disable any local (PC) firewall.
c) Use an internet connection that doesn't require a proxy server.
After that your on your own...
Anyone else???
Try this tip... it works from a SD card for me on my Universal.

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

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...

Thank you
Great!!! finally something that works from a sd card without tinkering with. By the way - it works to some degree on qtek 8500 with wm6 as well. I tried it with opera - no problem at all and great.
Bombus - the jabber client - problem!!! doesn't use all keys - direction and input. Other miscallenneous programs - input problem. To be expected though, it was made for different software.
Not a major problem though. The JRebeiro_EsmertecJbed3d works from sd card as well - install and just move the big exe somewhere and it will run ok. The files will be stored in the main memory though. To be exact in the appdb dir in windows folder.
I decided to keep the new version - for instance in bombus the text is actually written you just can't see it. if you switch the t9 on and carefully write your login, pass and server, you can even use it. However, it is only just usable, I don't really use it often, in favour of Agile, so I can live with it.
Never mind, I don't know what was worse my laziness or the stupidity of my question. Sorry for taking up threadspace
I don't have a SD card, how can I install it into main memory? Thanks.
Edit: found it, \Esmertec Java
Thanks! Great jobs!
also great for smartphone
great! I use it on SP3 (WM6) and O2 XDA Atom (WM6). but when we can have jbed with bluetooth?
problem with Opera 4.1 trusted release and this update
Is anyone having problems with this and Opera 4.1 trusted midlet? I am experiencing the following:
Everytime I try to use autocomplete and type an address, when I press a letter it repeatedly makes the same letter. Also using the fast scrolling feature with numbers 2, 4, 6, 8 does the same thing except for without the letters. It just keeps scrolling by itself! Any one else experiencing this and is there a way to fix this?
thank you!
is there bluetooth support? I mean to use it with bloover et other bluetooth software (like chat2u).

Thanks alot for posting this
I am using a software which provides me information in the forms of texts and figures. Everytime when I opened figures on my HD, Opera activated itself and took over the role of viewing figures. Subsequently, all the informations including texts and figures must be viewed by the Opera, and crashes frequently occured. I wonder if Opera could be inactivated so to prevent this problem.
Any help will be appreciated. Thank you.
Can anyone help?
I think your problem is that Opera is declared to be the standard browser. Maybe changing this would help. As far as I know this is done by changing some registry keys.
Is it possible to change the link in Touchflo 3D on my blackstone from opera to another browser ?
I dream to click on the Internet'tab, and when I tap on Earth's picture :NetFront run instead of Opera.
I couldn't find a way to change the default browser. Does anybody know how to do it?
I remember having to do this on one of my older PDAs. I believe the instructions that I followed were roughly similar to the ones found at this link.
Note that this is actually for Windows Mobile 5, but there's a good chance they will still work. Just make sure you note down all of your original settings before you change anything. And, as always, try at your own risk.

i had the same problem. i was using uptodate medical program. the software is designed to be used with PIE. so what i did was google the regedit. there are a lot of regs to be editted to change from opera to PIE. basically what u could do is open regedit on a pda without opera browser. just change the main .html, .htts etc to pie. hope this helps for a start. but if you still have problem. post a reply and i'll give full regedit amendments. thanks

Sorry
All,
from my understanding Opera is 'hardcoded' in TF3D, changes in the registry will not have the effect you want. From my knowledge there are two ways to overcome this.
1. use SSMaPa to patch another default browser into Manila.exe (works also for some other applications)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=407777
2. use VJBrisk to route the program launch of Opera to your preferred browser

install new version of opera doesnt mater wether on the device memory or the storage card but i did it on the storage and then uninstall it you'll end up with explorer being the default browser for everything and this is the only way that worked for me
