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

How Do I Disable the Camera on MDA?

I have had some suggestions on how to semi-permanently disable the camers so I can go into buildings where cameras are not allowed. I guess the best was to overwrite the camera.dll file with a blank (unless someone has a better idea??) Can anyone help me I find, back up and replace the old .dll file on my new Tmobile MDA Vario Wizard? I can not seem to access these type files and see the extensions from active sync to my laptop.
Thanks for any help,

 How Do I Disable the Camera on MDA?
Isn't easier just to give the hardware button another function...?
(Allthough everybody knows you can rename files and still can use the formerly used function. I know, as a navy weapon engineer, I won't risk it and still won't allow it!!!)

In Windows, go to Control Panel, Folder Options, View tab, and check Show hidden files and folders. This will allow you to see all files on your Wizard and PC.

any place that actually cares that you not bring a camera in is not going to be satisfied with a software fix.
that said, how about a small piece of electrical tape over the lens?

Disable the Camera Reply
Thanks for the tips so far. Reply to tips: I have already assigned the camera button on the side to contacts but you can still turn on camera via programs. I would like to pop out the lens, but can't find out how to do this?? I have already put a lable over the lens a temp fix. The change in control panel to view hidden files through active sync worked to find the camerapicturedll and video files. How can I create a .dll with no info? Then I could replace the .dlls I have copied off and saved. Perhaps I could just delete them, but I have not tried and not sure it will let me. Any thoughts?

HELP: GPRS/UMTS webcam to ftp/web server

Hi, chaps. I have what I think is a rather unique problem:
Without going into much detail as to the why I need this, I'm just going to explain what I need the phone to do:
- be an all-in-one remote webcam
The phone needs to be able to sit on its own, take a pic at a given interval, and then upload that pic to an ftp/web server, using either UMTS or GPRS. Coolcam is able to take pics at set intervals, but as far as I can see, one is not able to set the exact path the pics are saved to, instead it has My Docs\Pictures and Storage Card\My Docs\Pictures and available paths.
I was hoping there'd be some way for me to either somehow find some setting allowing me save the files to a remote address (from Coolcam), or have another programme running in the background that would automatically watch for new files, upload and delete them from the phone.
So, does this sound possible? The phone is not going to be anywhere near a Wifi connection and most certainly not connected to a computer. As I said, this must be a standalone solution! Possibly solar power will be involved to keep the thing running, but that's not my main concern right now.
Any suggestions? I'd really appreciate any helpful feedback. Thanks a million!

Unless there is a prepackaged solution somewhere, I think what you need is a homebrew prog that takes the new picture and uploads it to the specific place you need it to be uploaded.

Thanks for the reply. I thought as much, myself yet, as luck would have it, I stumbled upon this piece of loveliness:

How cool is that?

Oh that is fantastic! I am now thinking that I may find use for this thing somehow.

Webview.exe webview.dll tell me how to get this to work

Can anyone go to this site and download the webview.exe file launch the dll module and show the controls for my security cameras on their pda or pocket pc.
I have tried this on the 700wx and also on the 6800 mogul. I like the mogul much better so I took the treo back.
I can get to this site from a regular size desktop and also my laptop. When you go to the site it asks you to download the webview.exe file and run it. This puts the webview.dll file (module) in the same directory that you downloaded the webview.exe file to; with no problems. It then launches the web interface with a login screen. You login to the server and look at the 16 cameras in real time. When I try with my mogul I get a message that says webview.exe is "not a pocket pc application"
I tried copying and pasting the webview.dll file to my mogul but I don't know where to put it or how to launch the webview.dll module.
the compression I am using to show the live stream is h.264 or I can use mpeg4.

Hmmmmm
I 'm on the XDA's developers site;I just knew all my questions would be answered by now.
Look Guys, I don't want to come off sounding like a pompous idiot who thinks he can prod u guys into doing his homework for him. It's just that I got this 6800 on recomendations that I had read in the forums and I really do want to keep this one.
I have purchased three phones in the past week. I started out with the Treo 755p took it back because it had the Palm OS I was sure that was not going to work, but the Sprint sales guy assured me this was better than the 700wx because in his opinion Palm OS was better than WM5. I played with it for two days reboxed and took it back, I switched it for the 700wx because it has Windows OS the best and newest thing in Palm. He was right; it is, if you don't have a need to see streaming security cameras.
I took it back to another sprint store because the guy had gotten frustrated and says to me He can not switch phones more than once. Hmmmmmm
In the past few days I have been reading the forums; I think it was at Treocentral, or somewhere and I came across one of those articles' "which is better types" TREO or Mogul, I went to the Sprint store in our super mall and I found a working display of the Mogul.
I played with the thing for about two minutes and was blown away. I said to my self I have to get this to work for the security web cams; but not just for the camera's; I want to offer this as a turn key solution to my client...He has a treo 700w. I know he is going to be pleased with this. The size difference in the screen; the sliding keyboard, I am nuts about this thing already....
I'm not talking about jpeg's refreshing every 5 sec; I'm talking live streaming video from 16 cameras with the option to control PTZ's
All I Have to do is get the Internet explorer part on the Mogul, to work with the camera's software request to download and install webview.dll I don't know where to put this file on the Mogul, I don't know how to put it on the Mogul (yet). Ihave only had the Mogul for one day
go to the site, and please help

if the exe was written for desktop windows its not going to run on windows mobile, simple as that, youll have to see if the company that makes the security cameras also makes a pocket pc app for them

And there is your answer.
It isn't a PocketPC application. And you are trying to run it on a PocketPC.
Won't work.
The only occasional exception is .net applications that sometimes work on a desktop and PDA.
What brand of camera are you connecting to? There are some apps out there for network cameras so I may be able to help you.

Good point!

I guess I was thinking about installing the webview.dll and that would have solved the problem. I am not sure about the software for the camera maufacturer they are from China, and not much info to go on...
When I go to the site: HTTP://70.63.106.214/default.ht
I get this msg: "To enable control work: Tools-> Internet Options-> Security-> Custom Level Reset to: low or Download and Install it
When I download and install the file; (webview.exe) it is a executable that unpacks webview.dll ver. 2.0, in the same folder with webview.exe.
I did not realize or I am not sure if the webview.exe is the program interface for the application to work, but now that makes sense. I thought the httpsvr.exe that is running on the DVR PC was the app for the web interface and would allow all this to work on any platform.
I guess if there is a way to decompile the webview.exe and make the neccessary changes to include the pocket pc header information; recompile it, test it, fix it test it again. then this would probably work. There is not enough information on the software manufacturers to begin trying to find a solution for this.
I have absolutly no programming skills. I realize now, that this may be a question for the developer/hack forum.
I would like to give it a try though. So if you can point me in the right direction; or if the Mods would repost this thred in the Dev/hack forum; maybe those guys would probably know what tools I would need to get started in this.
I appreciate all your help and it has made me think about the resolution, and the approach to my problem in a different way. Thanks

They are not Internet Cams; I have the regular BNC connectors that pigtale into a 15 pin video connector that attaches to a PCI camera card 8 cams, I have two of the camera cards installed in each pc. I also have an ATI radeon 9550 with wideo out for the hardware compression of the video signal to the PC monitor this works for NTSC and PAL signals.

G1 Document Editor and Push Email

Hi,
Does anyone know if there is a good document reader and editor out there yet for the G1?
I got the phone first thing pre-ordered and when I first got it I was impressed by the unit itself but, not so much by what was available on the marketplace. I check frequently on my phone for new apps and occasionally online on other websites for apps but, haven't come up with what I need. Which is a document editor something that can read and write word and excell docs. as well as read pdf's.
I would also like to have push Hotmail. For some reason my phone will only download 25 message before obtaining a connection error whit hotmail.
Anyways, I figure most users of the G1 came from a WM device before and would be experiencing similar problems. So, I thought maybe some one could point me in the right direction on these two issues.
Thanks.

For the document editor there is a reader that isn't on the marketplace(don't remember where it was, sorry) but it doesn't work with the actual device yet, just the SDK version .9. I think for a lot of the real big apps(document reader/writer, 3D games, media streamer for your computer, real time turn by turn directions, etc) you're gonna have to wait at least a couple months, since it's gonna take a while for devs to make and fully test them.

Hotmail
You wont be able to have hotmail pushed down to your android mate MS wouldnt allow it so we will just have to put up with pull !!
