Program to write in a pdf - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps

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

ebook maker / converter free

can anybody recommend me a ebook converter / maker
got me a book as txt and i really would pref reading it as
ebook lit or at least pdf
i know i can just search google but there are soo many of them some are shareware some are comerical some are free.....
it's a jungle out there!
PErsonally I use mobipocket, for a couple of reasons..
It supports OEB (Non- protected books, so in 10 years time you will still be able to read them)
The reader is free (on the website it is advertised as a trial - this is for the pro version, install it anyway under the trial, aftrer the trial ends you can still use the software but some of the more complex functions are disabled -like autoscroll)
The reader will operate on palm or PPC - meaning I can share my books with my friends who have palm, rather than having to reformat them.
They also supply a publisher program for creating the books, this is free for home use.
It's not microsoft
go to www.mobipocket.com

The reader I use is muBook from http://gowerpoint.com/.
It can handle .PDB, .PRC, .TXT, .RTF and .HTML as e-books, and display inline .JPG, .GIF, .PNG, .WMF (in RTF) or .BMP.
If you're starting from a TXT file, you don't gain much by converting it to an e-book format, unless you add niceties like an index.
Which book is it? If it's out of copyright, you may be able to get it from manybooks in an e-book format (with index etc.).
well as to which book it is then no it's not a copyrighted book and it's not a book you'd find anywhere on the internet, somebody i know wrote it and all
i wanted to make it ebookish
because then when reading it i would be able to put bookmarks in and get a bit better more cleartypish font then the std notepad
as a rule just make it's easier and more easy to read it

Hi,
I use mobipocket too and I guess, it is a great program. You can convert your .txt - file with mobipocket publisher 3.0.
You don´t need the profressional version and you have the possibiblity to take indexes and a lot of more features of formatted textes and add your bookmarks and other features.
have fun!
well i of cause have that ms ebook reader and i have acrobat reader if at all possible i would pref not installing any more ebook readers on my xda2
will it be required ?

I guess, you will be able to convert your text into pdf- or -lit - format. But the readers have less features, the files are much bigger - but it is possible...
First I had the microsoft reader and the pdf-reader too. Now I have only the mobipocket-reader...

Microsoft have a plugin for MS word that will convert a document into eBook .lit format.

Or if you want a more professional program ReaderWorks Standard by Overdrive is also available.

uBook will give you the choice of any font you like, with 3 different modes of anti-aliasing/alpha blending, multiple styles/backgrounds, font sizes/colors, columns, bookmarks, annotations, and it will even figure out headings etc. (for example convert CHAPTER 1 to a chapter heading). No conversion necessary. It just works.
Why lock yourself into some company's proprietary e-book format, when there's great, free, open source software that will read all sorts of formats, and offers a lot of options? If you're using an e-book reader that doesn't read .TXT files and can display them nicely, then you're cheating yourself.
You can also try PDF Printer . It supports Vista.

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

pdf files better way?

I'm frustrated by the way pdf's are forced to completely redraw (or maybe reload) themselves when you scroll around within a page. It makes them a time consuming hassle. Is there any way to make it scroll smoothly? I'm using the clearvue pdf viewer that was loaded with the Cingular 812555.
u have mobipocket and others, but most of them arnt free...
http://www.mobipocket.com/en/eNews/default.asp
and im not sure if it solves ur problem, i just suggest alternatives to try...
Thanks trashman for the suggestion. I'm not worried about paying for the program if it does the trick (though of course I would rather find it for free). Does anybody out there know if mobipocket will help smooth out scrolling when viewing PDF's?

It won't display PDF's, you'll need to convert them, which may result in problems unless your PDF source is fully text-based.
That is, don't even try to convert a, say, graphics-heavy tech book to the Mobi format.
dunno with heavy graphics but with normal graphics, pictures and so on i have no problem with it...and it scroll fast on text and relatively smooth on graphics...
but mene is correct, u cant read a pdf right away, it need to be "converted"...

Yup, with a normal, say, literature book the Mobi format is much better than PDF.
I for one am a fairly heavy PDF user and have always gone back to the bloated Adobe Reader 2.0. Just found this Foxit Reader for Windows Mobile which is still beta but was quite impressive. No installation, just a small executable that I copied to my Program Files directory and changed the PDF default viewer in the registry. It has a stupid nag screen and an Evaluation banner at the top of the that I'm sure will disappear when it's actually released. Looks like it has promise.....
I tried 'em all on my 8125, and settled on Foxit Reader. It only cost me $9.99 for a licensed version, and it works as well as any. It is very fast, takes up very little room and redraws seamlessly. The only drawback to it is that it has no find function. But tables of contents and links within documents are both fully functional. It's the best pdf viewer I've used in all my years of using PDAs and Handhelds.
This is the URL to the beta download, but if you contact the company they are very good about communicating with you.

I did have some trouble in getting the licensed version to keep my registration key from one session to the next, and had to get about 4 different "new" versions from them before they finally got me the fully licensed executable, but they didn't give up and their replies were timely.
Overall I'm very happy with it. I even open 6+Mb manuals with it and it is very fast in doing so, and just as fast in navigating within those large documents.
G'luck
Okay. The I downloaded the Fox Reader evaluation. Is there anyway to make it the default reader once you get the licensed version?
By the way - it's much quicker to use than the clearvue reader.
RepliGo PDF Mobilizer looks quite nice as well. The viewer for pocketpc is free, but you'll need to convert your PDFs to a custom format with their software, which is shareware (but nothing a quick search with Google can't fix).
The converted files are about half the size of the original PDF without losing layout/features etc.

Use a registry editor, navigatate to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT. Look for pdffile. The Shell\Open\Command. Open the key and copy the text to the clipboard. (Mine says "\\Program Files\FoxitReader for WiM5.0.exe" %1" Close that and go down to Opendoc\Command and replace the text in the entry there.

PDF Writing Software

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:

Freeware CHM Reader?

I've tried using CHMReader.net, but I keep getting an exception error, and it seems to want to take forever to open a file. It's a large file, I won't lie, but it should eventually open it. So far it hasn't.
I've seen the MicroOlap reader, but it doesn't meet my frugality requirements (read: I'm too cheap to pay for it).
I've seen mention of a "Fast CHM Reader" and after considerable searching, I've tracked it down. Unfortunately, it appears to need the chm file to be on the root memory, rather than a storage card. Also not an option. File size exceeds remaining memory.
Does anyone have a suggestion for alternatives to these programs, or a fix for either one?
I strongly prefer that any alternatives be Freeware or Open Source, available somewhere for download (drop-in .exe or .cab file is fine), and you'll be owed a great measure of gratitude.
Still no love on the CHM reader front.
Any advice from the "old-timers" other than to drop the idea?
Thanks,
~M
Have you tried Alreader2?
It is in russian but the first option in the left menu is to open files.
This is download page

I used to use microOlam CHM reader, when I had WM5 on my device, unfortunatly, it not seem to work on wm6, so you can try to convert the chm file to moby reader file using mobireader desktop edition, and then read it on your PDA using Mobipocket reader.
