PDF Writing Software - 8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General

I've been searching for software to be able to scribble little notes and stuff on pdf files. I'm looking for this because Im going to University and all of the notes are in pdf format, thus this way I don't need anything except my hermes. I found a software for this called PdfPen but it is only for MacOS. The link is below:

Good eBook Readers?

Ever since I recieved the MDA I've been very eager to use it to read ebooks. I've never had a machine capable of doing so, so I am very uneducated about the entire field.
I have acquired several .lit and .pdf ebooks. I know there is a program instantly installed on the MDA to read pdfs, and it is my understanding that I am supposed to use Microsoft Reader for .lit files.
However . . . neither of these programs seem fit to read anything on this phone. The pdf reader makes me scroll left and right, and fitting anything to the page makes the entire thing unreadable. And Microsoft Reader seems very poorly made, suffering the same problems and unchangably large text.
Does anyone know a solution to my problem? Another program to read the files, or settings I am simply missing?
Thanks in advance.
I am using Mobipocket reader on my blue angel for more than 6 months - it's the perfect tool for me www.mobipocket.com. And its free
Before I was using Microsoft reader, but Mobipocket comes with a desktop and PDA software and the desktop software can convert very good a lot of files, which you can read easilly on the PDA
Hi,
The most popular one is Microsoft Reader which is freely available and there are literally TONS of free e-books on their site for you to download.

Repligo is nice, and can kinda convert pdf.
I use Isilo generally.
Use pdf2txt to convert pdf if necessary.

I've never used those format's, but I've been using uBook from Gowerpoint and I love it. I use it in conjunction with all the stuff I get from Gutenberg (the BEST place to get free ebooks) and haven't had a problem since. You can use it free if you don't mind a minor annoyance every three pages of the reminder or you can pay a little bit to register.
Mack, I have used Microsoft Reader, and it just seems far too weak. I didn't like it. No margin control, font size, etc. . . . unless I'm wrong. Feel free to correct me, itd make this a lot easier!
I tried MobiPocket and so far it seems like the best. I can control those functions I just mentioned, and seems to convert pdfs well. However, it stills seems to have few problems (It seems to kill itself randomly and - as far as I can tell - doesn't save my font settings.
I found a program called Convert Lit to, well, convert .lit files. I haven't tried it yet but I've heard good things.
I haven't tried the other suggested readers, but, judging from their websites they don't seem as good as MobiPocket. Ill eventually get to them.
Off topic....
does anybody use RSS to get news on your phone and which sites you use.....?
Mobipocket reader is good.

Arto.
RussianInLa: I like newsreader, it does the job quite well.
For RSS channels, I grab a bunch of usual suspects - check out my old website newsreader,
www.vijay555.com/news
However, I'm improving that with many (illegal) news scrapers, grabbing full articles from many different sites (eg Wired). Their normal RSS feed just gives headlines.
That's a good option if you can host php - write your own scraper and grab ANY webpage as RSS

Ubook
Have to agree with Jose_v, ubook is the best all round reader. It doesn't read pdf files, which for me is fine but can read ebooks in text, htm or html and rtf formats, all of which can be zipped to save space. It will also read palm and mobipocet format files that are not drm'd. Zip compression is better than mobipocket's, so you save that little bit extra space on your precious mini-sd.
It has recently become shareware and comes up with its logo every few pages, which is easy to get rid of as you just press down. Seeing as I have been using it for about 3 or 4 years now, I purchased it without hesitation when it became shareware.
Use it, you will learn to appreciate it.
To change the font on MS Reader, go to the Library page, click Settings, and change your font size. You can't do anything about the margins, though someone told me you could change them by opening a document in MS Word, expanding the margins, then converting to Reader. Haven't tried it yet.
Speaking of Word, download the free Word-to-Reader converter. Anything you can read in Word, including TXT and HTML files, can be converted to yo9ur own LIT files. You can even customize the cover picture. http://www.microsoft.com/reader/developers/downloads/rmr.asp
uBook is great, and I use it for all my old Palm ebooks, but I have so many LIT files, it's just easier to read them in Reader. Besides, none of the other programs have a PC version. I can read the same file on my desktop or laptop if I want, and if I sync the files, my PPC remembers where I was when I was reading it on the other device.

I'm going to third uBook, I used it on my old HPC and through a number of Pocket PCs and it is a wonderful app. Why I haven't actually registered it yet is beyond me, I can't imagine a better reader.

PDF ****EDITOR**** for the universal?

I have PDF readers that work, and I have figured out my faxing situation thanks to everyones help on these boards. Now I need to be able to sign PDF documents on the Universal. I have Acrobat and can do it from my laptop but often I find myself in a situation that a PDF document needs to be changed or signed and emailed back. Is there any software that would allow me to add a signature like Acrobat or even a picture (i have my signature in a jpg format) to a PDF doc? Thanks to everyone here. FISH
There is a prog for pdf edotong...gogle it
Thanks for the Helpful response. Where on "gogle" did you find this program? Should I spell "editor" like you did "edotong" because when I search these;
pdf editor wm5
pdf editor mobile
pdf editor pocket pc
pdf editor universal
and so on and so on and so on and so on and so on.......................
I get ALOT of programs for my "computer" but NONE for the pocket pc/universal etc... Care to shed some light? Thanks FISH
Found this program, gonna try it out and let you guys know if it works.
I Comment Here
EDIT: Ok so that wont really work. you can write on any program so I was able to sign a pdf and it turns it into a BMP and puts it in a ZIP file but it only captures the "screenshot" and not the whole document.
Back to the drawing board (lol) FISH
Do you want a text based pdf, embedded image, or full Adobe spec?
Because writing a text only v1.2 PDF is relatively easy, I've reverse engineered/re-implemented it in various of my apps and my net browser. But I can't recall seeing it on the PDA before. But it's easy enough, in theory, and if you're a developer (ie not for me, lol!)

Basically I would love Adobe Acrobat for Pocket Pc.
Here is my situation:
I am a real estate broker and I receive ALOT of faxes that come to my toll free number and then forward to me in an email. These faxes turn into PDF files when they come through email. I can then open them with a PDF viewer. Sometimes I need to sign a document and email or fax it back to the client/realtor/lender etc.. I can email and fax no problem from my universal. The only thing that is lacking is the ability to "Sign" or cross out something like I could do in Acrobat. Thanks for responding vjay. FISH

Program to write in a pdf

Is there any program in which i can view and write into a pdf with stylus. I know foxit for the desktoppc and there is also a mobile device version, but this version doesn't support writing into. Would be nice when you know one, because i need it for university!Thanks
nobody? it would be an effort if somebody say that he doesn't think that such a program is available

MortScript Manual - CHM Format

Reading the PDF version of MortScript manual is a pain in my phone. I really like the HTML manual for MortScript. But, it's bit slow, single big file, the formatting is not really up to the standard of a good technical manual, and lack of search functionality.
On the other hand, I really enjoy reading the CHM on the phone or on the PC, the CHM format provides more ways to access the information, better search, possible indexes for the contents and good navigation. So I have just created one, with a nice table of content for CHM.
I have started a bit of reformatting work, especially on the chapter 9. But not yet completed, and it's a long way to go. But I think, it's better to share it earlier. I would like to add the indexes as well in future. I will post the updates if there is any.
Credit goes to Donny Bahama for the HTML version (as described above).

[Q] Want to make a custom pdf viewer with menu

Hi,
Im just starting out devving and for work I would like to build a custom branded pdf viewer that opens pdfs inside program.
What i want to do in detail:
main page - branded to my company (i can do the graphics easily enough)
this page has two options - SOPs and SWPs (these are categories of documents)
SOPs page - list of pdfs in this category
SWPs page - list of pdfs in this category
I know I could just use adilko or other ereader app but i want to make my own.
Any help with the actual code to launch the pdfs within the app so i can go easily back to previous app pages would be greatly appreciated!
please guys i need help, its doing me in!
"Launching pdfs within the app" will not work as easily as you think. Unless you can find a PDF library or engine (however it's called for PDF) you will have to follow the PDF specifications and implement the rendering yourself. Good luck!

I was thinking of reskinning vudroid for my non-commercial purposes - but after downloading all 1422 files on their code repository, eclipse wouldnt accept it
I've found a dirty way by converting each 20+ page pdf into jpgs and calling them as a scrollable screen. but i wanna zoom and **** lol. would look so much more polished (as far as my clients see) that i have everything within a certain style.
but alas, as Ned Kelly said:
"such is life"
