Adobe Reader LE, Anywhere?

Hi!
After testing the many Roms in the forum, i found Adobe Reader LE installed on PDAmobiz ROMs.
I've been looking for this version of Reader, but have not been able to find it, even at Adobe's web site.
Anyone knows where to find it?
Is that only for AKU 2.3 or 3.2 or something like?
Reader 2.0 is so heavy on memory and works way slower!. The PDAmobiz version is the best I've seen so far.
Thanks.

Just copy the file "\Windows\ppc_adobereaderle.exe" from PDAMobiz's ROM. You can place this file to any folder in your PPC and run it from there.

Thanks so much for your answer, I will try.
BTW, anyway to extract that from the install files? I'm currently running the last Qtek ROM, and would like to avoid the install/extract/re-install procedure... even the temporary directory during install does not have the app.
Or would you mind to PM me the file if you're running it?
Thanks in advance.

1.- It DOES display pictures.
2.- BTW, the conversion you're talking about is not done by Reader LE itself. I Don't do any conversion, on the contrary, I Copy PDF files straight to my SD card or via Active Sync without any problem or transformation. (please see next post -edited-)
3.- Adobe missed the point, Reader 2.0 is 8 MB big, both in storage AND in memory while running....
4.- As for the conversion, it seems to happen ONLY if you have installed other version of Reader, or the latest one coming from Westek (ClearView)
5.- Maybe there are some Tagged files that will not display correctly, or that do not reflux, but PDF is all about displaying documents EXACTLY as they were designed. I dont care about reflux, nor do they display properly at all times...
Really, the only reason I see for Adobe neither supporting LE reader nor allowing to download that from it's web page should be compatability with new features... Who cares at this time?

Continued....
Just for info...
6.- PPC Reader 2.0 when installed from your PC, does not allow you to uninstall the "PC part" of itself, nor does it undo its installation changes: It activates conversion of PDF files to TAGGED PDF files, thus making (on a 30 k file) increase its size FIVE TIMES! and displaying incorrect on every other pdf reader, as LE itself.
7.- Even unistalling PPC Reader 2.0 from your PDA, retains those settings, so you have to go manually to your Active Sync Advanced options and change .PDF files conversion to none. You will notice how fast and nicely Reader LE performs.
I'm sorry to insist, but it's a pitty to discover such a nice performer as Reader LE is, just to see it "orphaned" from it's own creator. In fact, even trough a deep web research, it's impossible to find.
IMHO reflux is a flawed patch from Adobe, it screws many files making them unreadable.
Hope it helps.
And again, many thanks to the PDAmobiz guys and Khuanchai.

This is way faster, better and "lighter" than the one on Adobe's own website. It's weird why they elude this version from downloading. :-(

I get a lot of emails with pdf attachment. Is there a way to automatically associate the pdf attachment with Adobe Reader? After installing the adobe reader le, when I open a pdf atachment in the email itself, it can't recognize the file. I have to save it first and open it from Adobe Reader.
Perhaps there is a Reg Edit for this.
Thanks.

I second that request:
Can you set Adobe Reader to be the default PDF viewer so you can open attachments?

Since you are NOT installing the program, the only way I think of is editing the registry and subtitute the program now "tied" to .pdf extensions by the path and name of your reader LE.
Hope it helps.

You've got to manually put in the registry settings to associate both "open" and "opendoc" under "pdffile" to Adobe Reader LE.

Try this also .. seems newer build.

Dutch TV stream app tester wanted!

Hello all,
I've been working on a simple application to stream live tv to my device because my providers tvstream is just crap. But it so happened that my device is out for repair a couple of days(weeks?).
So if someone would be so kind to test the program for me that would be nice.
Requirements:
-Dutch tv viewer
-CoreCodec Coreplayer installed on your device.
-Network connectivity (about 700kbit/s)
-Phone in device, for location specific wifi-stream function (instead of 3g)
-Wifi in Device (same as above)
-Willing to give me useful feedback.
More info when we get in contact.
If you want to test my app, please drop a line. I'll reply with a cab, if I don't I have enough testers.
ps. I plan to release the app for home use (with your own tv-card!), but this can take a while....
pps. For free ofcourse, voor de echte Nederlander!
ppps. I only need several testers, because my current upstream only handles 1-2clients at a time. And since I have only one tvcard, everybody will be watching the same selected channel!

ps. For the test app you won't need a own pc/tv-card or anything... just a smartphone.

is it something like this MyTinyTv.

yeah it is, only this one also support a map in which avi files can be dropped for mobile viewing (or is that possible with mytinytv as well?)

nope, and i cant get tiny tv to work.
so i don`t think i`m a good candidate for testing your app.
i think it has something to do with my two routers.
maar hoop wel dat je app goed word.
en heb maar standaard WnW van t-mobile dus.... qua snelheid

Ready to test
Ola,
Just send a email i'm ready to test...

This piece of software never made it to a public release If you really think it's cool, let me know... (I have a server script and the client sources)

tester!
Hey there!
If you still need some testers, Here I am.
I've all the requirements you've said.
Let me Know!

Document SCANNER software

Hello
Is there any app for wm similar to DOCSCANNER from ipho**???
It takes the picture from the camera, and does a recognition.
That app is at docscanner dot com. (no publicity intended!)
SO???
THanks.

Sprint packaged a Bizcard reader with the TP2s...or did you wants something more paper sized read?

The bizcard reader from sprint works great for cards, but is there a software that could recognize text from a book or magazine and save it to a text file?

Wow that would be seriously cool

they have a business card reader for touch pro 2? whats it called.

The Business card scanner on sprint is WorldCard Mobile.

Creo que el programa que te sirve es Scan.2PDF.Mobile. Es muy buen programa. Exitos.

How about this?
http://www.qipit.com/

As far as I can tell neither
Scan.2PDF
OR Qipit
does character recognition so that it can be saved as a text document.

There's ScanR which seems to provide some OCR. Unfortunately it's a subscription service. Quite cheap though if you are really going to use it. Don't know how well it works as I haven't tried it yet.
There also seems to be TopOCR. and ABBYY has recently released a mobile ocr engine so hopefully programs using it will come out soon.

You can try this free OCR :
http://www.topocr.com/mobile.html
It's not for WVGA

Evernote automatically OCR-es your snapshots that you upload to it, and indexes them .. and even works on hand-writing (see attachment) .. and on top of it all .. it's FREE!
Oh and just for the record (pun intended!) .. it indexes other things too, besides pictures: text notes, voice notes, ink notes, etc.

Blackstone for reading scientific papers

Hi,
I using my htc touch hd for reading scientific papers which almost al of them are in pdf format. The high resolution screen of the HD makes it quite clear and comfortable to read. However Adobe Reader LE is lacking the highlight and mark text options which is really unhandy for me.
Does anyone knows another pdf reader which does containt these options? If so, would it be able to actually safe those highlighted texts as addition layer and transfer it to pc. The meaning is to be able to read and mark publication when travelling and to be able to read them on pc with the saved highlighted text.
Thanx

Hi. I use Repligo by Cerience.com - converts PDF to their own format and lets you highlight, comment & set bookmarks. Take a look! I've had this program for years but I can't find it now on their site for WinMo. If no sucess try Foxit Reader instead - a good pdf reader.

Thanks for your reply. I try it immediately

Best office app on G Note

Hello everyone. My trial of OfficeSuite5 has ended. Too bad I never actually used it during the trial period LOL
Well now its time to either pay up or use something else. I've looked at a couple of reviews and they suggest QuickOffice HD Pro as the best app for tablets as its the only one which is designed for tablets.
Well the Note though capable isn't much of a tablet. So perhaps an elephantised phone app is still best for us?
I have no objections paying $15 for an Office App. What are your thoughts on which is best on the Note?

Best Office Suite
Quick Office Pro 5 is the best. That plus EZPDF Reader will allow you to deal with Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and PDF files. EZPDF program is excellent and allows you to edit pdf files.

It really depends what you expect from your Office application. If you need to share documents and edit complex ones, I wouldn't call any Android Office suite a mature one. If you only need to edit relatively simple documents, both options you mention might be OK. If I were you, I wouldn't buy either without a good test drive, though.
The biggest problem is compatibility with more complex formatting (and formulas). Quite often opening a document in a mobile office suite and saving it back means changed or lost formatting. So when you open the document on your PC you may be in for a surprise. So far Dataviz's DocsToGo have been best in this respect - their technology (aptly called "Intact") leaves all formating intact - so even if the mobile app doesn't understand more complex formatting (footnotes, tables, anchored text etc.), it doesn't destroy it.
Alternatively, there is a German company, having a very good Windows Mobile Office suite: Softmaker Office (they have a website both in English and German). This suite has always been much more powerful than other mobile solutions. On their website it is mentioned that they are preparing a version for Android, but it is not ready yet (not even a public beta!). So you may keep this suite in mind for future consideration and meanwhile buy just the software that is good enough for basic purposes.

Nice reply.
It surely depends on what you expect from your office application. Thus recommendations would vary based on preferences.
Of all the available office apps I found Documents to Go as the best one. It keeps the format INTACT and I found that it's the only app that can open PASSWORD PROTECTED files which was important for me.

OfficeSuite5 is trial for...?

I got Smart Office and i think it's a great solution because it's a great app, which allows you to create/edit word/excel/powerpoint.. data
Just try

I use polaris office, and it working very well

Polaris is simpler....but way easier to generate documents from.
User friendly A+....best in Android

I recommend DocumentsToGo. It has good editing capabilities and easy access to cloud services.
Sent from my NotePhone

can some one suggest an app that allows one to
edit / form new tables in power point
edit / insert images in powerpoint
edit / form bar charts / pie charts in powerpoint / excel files
form / edit ODT docs
read / edit rtf documents
edit pdfs
is it possible to do this on any one app
I have got docs 2 go and ezpdf and open office reader now but will buy any other that is better
for databases which is better handbase or memento. presently have handbase.

My vote goes to Officesuite.. Based totally on the speed of the application.. Its fast.. And got everything i need..

Ultimately some kind of virtualisation or hosted solution would do the trick, if you are on an unlimited fast dataplan. Or you could just run the fullfletched suite from your own computer. Logmein is good, but requires your PC turned on to function as a server. Used to do that back in 2006 and acces it throught Wifi in college on my htc lmao.
If your company has cytrix I think it should also be easy. They must have an Android client to connect.
There is also splashtop, free on getjar. However I dont think it has an office suit build in. It is the only virtualisation client I do know of targetted at consumers.
Did you try Microsoft office 360 or just plain google docs? Maybe they can cater your office needs through a browser

I use PowerOffice. Its free on the Samsung market. You just have to have a fast data plan, as its a virtualization solution. You can access your files via Email or Dropbox. Please go to the Samsung market for further information, I'm writing this from my Note and am kinda lazy atm

Also try Kingston office which has gone free on the market

RTF Support
Hi all,
Don't mean to hijack a thread especially as it's fairly old now but does anyone know an office app that can at least read RTF files?
I do a bit of work for one company that sends all their work in RTF files.
I'd be happy just to be able to open/Read/Print them

Polaris office does not handle formulas with the IF function in Excel correctly. Documents To Go is my recommendation.

I really need am office app that will let you annotate...
Ezpdf works quite well for annotating pdfs, but I want to do that to powerpoint and word documents...
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk

I don't get it. Polaris Office comes with nearly all Galaxy phones. Why do we need another paid office?
Porlaris Excel has a big problem. It can't read most formulae. It turn them into literal values. However, it seems it only fails when handling XLSX (Office 2007) documents. If I save to XLS (Office 2003) format, then it does everything fine.
I believe I've tried Kingsoft, but it has exactly the same problem as Polaris.
One app to avoid is Smart Office+, at least not the current version. It thinks that Note is a tablet and displays an HD UI. You won't be able to do anything with the tiny toolbar. There is not yet any method to manually choose among the two UI in the suite.

I bought adobe convert to pdf app from the market for the same problem.
This app allowed me to upload for conversion to pdf the rtf file and within seconds I got back the pdf version and formatting looked like the original.the website does not save the original by the looks of it. The app worked fine for me on this instance but some of the reviews are not good but most of those reviews seem to be for converting website links.
