Actual website view?

Hi guys,
I have an XDA Mini S and wondering if it's possible to view websites how they are viewed in PC browsers. Not condensed but scaled to fit, with small font.
Is this possible?

deepfish does this..

That's just what I need but I don't have an activation code and they aren't accepting new signups.

Picsel Browser does this, I think its freeware, if so.

If not...

That's perfect, thanks.

PDF

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.

HD2 unable to display Chinese PDF

I have some Chinese Wu Xia PDfs that play fine on my PC with Adober Reader 9 (it automatically download the fonts). When I transfered a few PDFs to the HD2 and tried to display them sing Adobe Reader Mobile LE, it just shows a bunch of blank (white) pages. No words are displayed. Can someone give me a suggestion?
My HD2 can display chinese words as I have a couple Excel spreadsheets with Chinese words in some columns that can be displayed fine in Office mobile.

I believe the problem you are facing is that Adobe does not always use fonts that come from Microsoft.
When I have updated my computer to a new operating system, I often find that Adobe cannot open a Chinese PDF without updating fonts. My Microsoft operating system could already display Chinese in Office and in web pages.
Adobe products are proprietary, and do not always make use of system resources. This is precisely why a PDF is able to be viewed in various operating systems, but it means you have to download more from Adobe to view certain languages.
It seems that the best way to solve your problem is to go to the Adobe site and look for information. If you cannot find any information, send an email to them. This Adobe PDF help file might give you some ideas.
Since you cannot see Chinese in a PDF file, it is fairly obvious that you do not have the required fonts on your HD2.
I hope that somehow this helps you.

Thanks, but not much help at this point.
I searched through the Adobe site and only found Chinese font pack for Adobe Reader 8/9. No such luck with Adobe Reader LE 2.5
Tried some PDF to Word convertion web service sites but they can't seem to convert as well.
Does ANYONE here read chinese PDF file in their HD2? Please help

Still no replies :-(
Can anyone suggest a way to download the Chinese font packs for Adobe Reader LE on the HTC devices? Thanks.

Is it possible to take the fonts from adobe 9 and then transfer them to the HD2...?? kinda like copying the fonts from windows and puting them on the hd2...

Don't use manhua2009
A few days ago i tried manhua2009 for Chinese writing om my hd2
but don't try to do the same ,, got a stuck hd2 and had to hardreset
to get it working again... !!! so don't ....
Cheers

Yes I can.
I have two reader. The Adobe Reader 2.0 for WM2003 (downloaded from Adobe site), and the Adobe Reader LE 2.5 that came with my HD2. The downloaded Adobe Reader 2.0 for WM2003 cannot display a PDF with Chinese (Big5 I presume). The bundled Adobe Reader LE 2.5 can, probably because I bought it in HK.
Also, I copied the whole resources folder from my desktop Adobe Reader 10 to the downloaded Adobe Reader 2.0 for WM2003. The error messages changed, but still it cannot display Chinese PDF.
And I can't find any resource files for the Adobe LE.

I read a lot of PDFs on my phone and found that Adobe doesn't quite do the job. I did some searching and found Foxit to be quite good. Not sure if it will help you in this case, but worth a try.

Best PDF reader

Just throwing out a line to get some ideas on the best PDF viewer, possibly with annotation (although not required). I'm looking for something fast and smooth that can navigate larger documents, etc.

I like the polaris office one, at least better than adobe reader, which seems sluggish.

+1 for Polaris Office. Not perfect, but faster than the Adobe Reader app.

Hmm, I might have to try to find a copy of Polaris, it has disappeared from my app list in the midst of various ROM changes.

Repligo PDFReader
I use it to have clients sign contracts right on the screen. But has so many functions.. Check out the Video
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.cerience.reader.app&feature=search_result
It is $4.99 but well worth it.

+1
Polaris Office

Repligo +1 for me. And for read the include Acer Lumiread.

At some of android news website I saw a test of pdf readers and the winner was ezPDF reader. Maybe you'll like it (sorry for my english)

Thanks, I'm trying it out now. Seems pretty good, overall.

Did you ever try ezPDF? I've been using Repligo for about a month and I love it! It was definitely worth the $4.99 (actually, when I bought it, it was $1.99 @ the Amazon Appstore).

I looked forever for the perfect android PDF app for reading books and ezPDF won hands down. Amazing control, bookmaking, and text rendering. I couldn't believe how many of the apps weren't up to par.

Sorry to drudge up a moderately old post, but I have a question about ezPDF. Can you rotate documents? I scan a lot of stuff into PDF, and sometimes I need to rotate the pages on the fly?
Also, does it support adding notes (written with stylus) and bookmarks? I've seen other posts and some say that it has this feature, others complain it doesn't.
Thanks,
-PW

I do not see rotation in the settings anywhere.
And it does support adding notes, annotations. Just tap and hold screen and chose "free hand". It will ask u if u want to make a copy for annotating which is great so u dont mark up the only copy u have. It will create another copy if u like to mark up. Once u chose, then write as much as u want. Good program.

i'm working with lots of PDFs - non-editable, editable, with markups, making markups - and right now the best reader and marker for PDF for me is RepliGo.
The PDF Viewer from Picsel Smart Office is as well very good and very fast but without marking capabilities.
Picsel Smart Office has as well the best excel, word and powerpoint readers/editors.

PDF reader hang

When I try to use the MS pdf app to view (zoom) the london underground/rail map it hangs the phone. I don't have any issues when using the 3rd party PDF Lite app?
http://www.tfl.gov.uk/assets/downloads/london-rail-and-tube-services-map.pdf
Can anyone else confirm this problem?
Tnx

Try Adobe Reader for WP8: http://www.windowsphone.com/pl-pl/store/app/adobe-reader/134e363e-8811-44be-b1e3-d8a0c60d4692

Thanks for the link.
I was kinda hoping that someone could tell me if they too have problems opening the pdf map on their handsets using the native app.
