it's better, but not that great either. very bloated and crashes often. is fast though.
i personally like Ansyr Primer, which is no longer sold. a little slow in rendering, but doesn't crash as often as the adobe and less memory hungry. you can also add annotations and bookmarks. it doesn't do tagged files like the adobe reader, which is one good things going for it.
I don't know why there is so little development in producing good pdf readers.
in any case, using pdfs a lot, i keep them all, and find them useful for different types of documents.
with Primer, you have to apply a vga aware patch, from something like tweaks 2k2, if you have a vga machine. I bought my copy a while ago. if nobody is selling it, i've checked and noted other sources do have it.
PocketXPDF
http://pocketxpdf.sourceforge.net/
I find it the best one.
Renders pages in real VGA.

just for the record - the adobe ppc pdf reader sux.
it lasted 2 hours on my rig.
trying sourceforge jobbie now . . .
Try `foxit' pdf reader which has just released for ppc ,the evaluation purpose .( just reminds it and there no limit of days as i have neen using it for so many number of days) the best or the worst part is that it runs from itself , installs no files on windows folder . it is one single file(1.25 mb) transferred via active sync to the storage card then add to today screen via pocket plus and then through resco explre make it the default program to view pdf files

Use this one all the time.
Putting into full screen landscape allows half of a full page to be easily readable.
Only down side is the delay in waiting for the next page to load - hopefully this will be fixed in a later version

Hey matt.
you're only bloody right!
this is a good reader guys.
nice rendering, i think a little better than clearvue and certainly the pile of elephant turd that is the adobe reader - that was just embarrassing!

Help please
Hi All
Coud someone please get the .cab file from :
http://pocketxpdf.sourceforge.net/
And put it on the board , as my proxy at work wont let me download it the normal way.
Please please please someone help
thanks
Steve
Ask and you will receive my brother!
Many Many thanks
Many Many thanks
You are a life saver !
Steve
it takes bloody ages to load initially and the page load times is fairly crap but full screen and programmable h/ware buttons makes it kewl.
as i said before the rendering is pretty wicked too!
WOW!!!! Just installed PocketXPDF and it has got to be the best PPC PDF reader available. Rendering the pages does take a while but at least it is worth the wait.
Thanks for sharing that with us.
Adobe?
I tried my pdf book which has 2700 pages in my JASJAR with Adobe reader,it nicely tagged it for viewing in "reflow mode" (text wraps around to fit the screen) so that we need not scroll it horizontally even after zooming.
Wow! how nicely Adobe did it and I could read the book continously in reflow mode with zoom.I think NO Other pdf reader can do this.Even 'Repligo',I tried same book with Repligo pdf mobilizer,still no reflowing.
Adobe reader is the Best pdf reader without any doubt,but it has its own drawbacks like: Very bulky,freezes ur PPC if not used for sometime(after opening).No official compatibility for WM5 devices.
If the size of the file is small,any reader would do.But bigger files,reflow mode Adobe is jus Gr8!
Acrobat reader has been working great for me for the past two years.
it just depends on the following question:
- do you use a realVGA 'hack'?
if yes:
use acrobat reader
if no:
use pocketXPDF reader
because you really want VGA instead of qVGA. and reflow is a really big plus for acrobat imo

Yep...
It's the Best!
RE
I believe non of the mentioned readers can do the followings completely
a) must have scrolling feature (available in Adobe Reader)
b) text and picture must be sharp (apply to all readers except Adobe)
c) small in size (definitely not for Adobe Reader)
Any?
On the old QVGA screen i have never been able to read any PDF's (I have dozens of important manuals in PDF/A4 format) but it just was not possible..
So will this screen with a good pdf viewer allow me to read these manualls ?
I also have a lot of manualls in html helpfile format [ .chm ] is there a way to access these on a winmobile device ?
I prefer Picsel Viewer 1.2.
I know that XDA Dev. dont like naming it and it´s not easy to get but its te best app for almost every type of format.
Hi Eymen,
is Picsel Browser the same as Picsel Viewer?
As I understand Picsel Viewer was only for Palm?
If not, is there an version for WM devices?
Can you point me in the direction? Or PM me?
TIA
This is a great freeware pdf viewer: http://pocketxpdf.sourceforge.net/
and this is my favorite pdf viewer to date (not freeware) http://www.foxitsoftware.com/downloads/index.php foxit 1.4 beta.
Hello all,
I've tried searching for a text reader with bookmarking ability for the X1,
The only one I've found is uBook, but the site seems to be down for the past 3 days.
Does anyone know of any other reader software that can handle un-DRM'ed RTF files?
Thanks in advance.
Mobipocket Reader doesn't work on the X1? BTW: uBook is a very good e-book reader for the PPC. Sorry to hear that the site is down

Yeah, I installed mobipocket but unless i'm going daft, it wouldn't show the RTF files I have...I really don't want to go throught the effort of converting formats...so i'll probably wait till the uBook site is back up unless anyone else has an reader recommendation
There is a thread on the ubook forum:
http://www.4winmobile.com/forums/ubook-official-support-forum/
Nobody knows why it is down. Potentially moving hosts (hopefully). An excellent ebook reader that I had on my Wizard. Was hoping to revive it on my Xperia...
I moved up from my Samsung i760 which had Piscel browser for .pdf files. It viewed them very nice. Adobe Reader LE seems really out dated and slow. Any other .pdf readers that work well with the TP2 that anyone knows of?
I use FoxitReader 2, but it is not free
I use Xpdf - it's free and very functional. (Has flow, zoom, goto, bookmark, pictures, so what do you want more?)
hi
I just got my desire (upgrade from Blackstone) and it is amazing.. I am so happy but now down to business.
My Blackstone was tuned to perfection for my app needs (shame about the UI, constant crashing AND slowness despite NRG best efforts with excellent ROMs.)
I have covered lots of my needs and more with great Android Apps (see appbrain thread) but I cannot currently achieve the following.
1. active synch my local outlook email on my laptop.
2. Sling Player (Though I see its coming)
3. Ebook reader for Mobi pocket reader files..... -- I guess I need to move to PDF only and find a decent PDF viewer of which there appears much choice.
4. Some kind of SKYPE/MSN for outside '3' (I have the 3 versions) and checking out Fring.
5. A navigator like Tom Tom for Europe.
cheers
New to android myself .
But just wanted to say that co-pilot for europe is great and support most languages.
Using Aldiko Book Reader for my e-books atm and i like it so far.
Congrats on the Desire btw

Check out Sygic (www.sygic.com) or Navigon (www.navigon.com), both are cool programs. Navigon has a 30 day trial @ Android Market.
1. active synch my local outlook email on my laptop.
Use gmail, or set up exchange syn.
2. Sling Player (Though I see its coming)
Never used it.
3. Ebook reader for Mobi pocket reader files..... -- I guess I need to move to PDF only and find a decent PDF viewer of which there appears much choice.
The pdf viewer is fine. But i dont read books on the phone anyway.
4. Some kind of SKYPE/MSN for outside '3' (I have the 3 versions) and checking out Fring.
Yeah - where the f**k is skype ? Its mental they dont have an android version.
5. A navigator like Tom Tom for Europe.
I missed totom too, but copilot ROCKS !

Download HTC Sync from the HTC Website or it is on the CD that came with your desire.

Download the FREE FBReader from the Market. Read all my MobiPocket files (PRC format) using this.
