60% of the time when I try to open a pdf doc in Acrobat Reader for PPC it causes the xda II to reset (sometimes this is a hard reset). I like the program as it provides more features/controls compared to clearvue but with all the resets I'm wondering if its worth the hassle.
Has anyone else experienced any problems with it/know of any solutions?
Thanks,
Coj
Acrobat Reader

Try to find Adobe Acrobat Reader for PPC version 2.0! Its not on Adobe's site but I found it and its great!!!!!!!!!! Seems like the equivalent of version 6 of PCs for PPCs :wink:
Thats the version I'm using!! :shock:
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,

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?

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
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...
Hey peeps, I just got my first Mogul (got tired of my bb 8330) and so far I'm digging it fairly well. My only real issue is with Mobipocket Reader. I've been digging around for anyone who shares my issue but I cant really find anything.
The issue is this:
When coming off a soft reset, I can open a book through File Explorer and it will open just fine. If I close it, I cannot reopen mobipocket without another reset. It will begin to open, will show mobipocket in the task bar, then crash back to the today screen. If I try and open mobi by itself, will crash back to the today screen also whether off of a soft reset or not.
I have tried a number of different roms including Ryan mogul 6.1 and 6.5 in both light and heavy versions (in both 3.1 and 3.2), DCD's newest and a stock sprint rom.
I have also tried both the PPC and the Smartphone version of mobipocket downloaded OTA. I have also tried with books loaded on the phones internal memory and also on my 2gb sandisk memory card.
I know this may seem like a minor issue, but honestly I spend more time reading on my phone than I do anything else and any feedback or help is appreciated.
Thanks guys!
why couldn't you just leave this one alone, and go find another reader?
Hi Guys
I have been trying to get the reader to work on my PDA running 6.5 PDA and now running 6.1 with the great help from Tony Chef.
Before posting this i spent various hours looking up the problem on the net and reading here as well as trying factivation but nothing seems to work.
I successfully activate the reader and when I come to read purchased books it won't let me open the purchased books, only the downloaded ones. It either closes the reader programme down or says that my reader is not activated although it says it is at the bottom of the reader start up screen.. Can anyone either come up with a working solution or an alternative reader that can read micrsoft reader lit format files. I prefer to use reader as I find it alot better to use that adobe and other ones I have found but this problem is driving me mad!!! I am installed the latest reader for 6.1 and followed various instructions and hacks like factivation but nothing ever seems to solve it.
Thanks
Anyone !

you try to use Freda the free ebook reader, to download it go to http://www.turnipsoft.co.uk/freda/
Thanks for the reply, I can use reader for non DRM books but I have loads of books which I have bought which have DRM and the Freda software will not work with them, so back to square one, seems the only way is to get reader working unless I can remove the drm from the books
