Issue Opening a converted PPT file to PDF on Motorola DEFY - Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I dont know if this issue is a general one on all Android phones, but I had a PPT (Power Point document) on my PC which I had converted into a PDF file. The converted PDF file looks perfectly great and everything when opeing it on the PC, but when I try to open it from my phone, I get error opening file due to the document not being a PDF file document or something like like that. Other PDFs on the phone which was not converted, opens up fine.
I converted the Power Point file with the built-in "Save As" PDF option within the Microsoft PowerPoint file.
How can I resolve this?
Thanks!

And I forgot something to add here....That I do have Adobe Reader installed as well on my phone. And just updated it too.
I have KingSoft Office. And it did open up the PPT file on my phone as well, but its very hard to read out.
Is it because of the small size screen of the Motorola DEFY? Even when I tried to ZOOM in with my fingers and still will not ZOOM in enough.
Now Im playing around with Office Suite 7 and it just crashed my phone and takes a long time to load the PPT file.
But I want to view the file on my phone in PDF.
Any other suggestions?
Thx

Adobe is best to read the pdf file. Else try any other suite from playstore

[Q] Best Download manager for Xoom?

Has anyone found a good download manager for the Xoom? I'm looking for an app that will allow me to download from sites like Hotfile, Fileserve, etc and open the video, PDF, music files in different apps on the Xoom.
I use DownloadPro on my iPhone and I am looking for something similar.
Any suggestions?
Thanks ahead of time!

A download manager would be pretty cool I think.
Its a necessity for me

I download from fileserve, hotfile & rapidshare to my Xoom.
Install Astro File Manager.
Hit menu> more> preferences> check off "enable web browser downloads".
Files save to the "download" folder in the Xoom file system.
Really? Are you usung the stock browser? For me it just saves as an HTML file or a JPEG of the link button picture.

Blozout,
Will Astro File Manager give you the option to open files (for instance an AVI) in the stock video player or a different player? For example, if you click on a file in the downloads folder does it gives you several options of how to open the file?
Thanks for your help!
I use rockplayer universal to play the movies and download via the stock browser. Try enabling "unkown sources" selection in the main honeycomb settings under "applications" as well.
I download avi files via this method and play them without a problem. Mkv files no luck, but that's a codec issue...I've never used filesonic, but from the 3 file sharing sites above that I mentioned, I've had no problems whatsoever. Give it a try, astro file manager is a free app, no harm, no foul.

PDF Viewer with Bookmarks?

Anyone know any good PDF viewer app with bookmark feauture?
Sent from my NookColor using Tapatalk
I am looking for a pdf reader that bookmarks and is able to view zip compressed pdf files.
I just tested ezpdf on a zipped pdf and it opened and viewed it just fine. As for bookmarks, I set several bookmarks in an unzipped pdf using ezpdf. I don't know how it would export them but it remembered them internally without any problems. I know it's not free but it is very good.
Just in case I misunderstood what Imbroglio was asking I went back and tried adding multiple bookmarks to a zipped pdf using ezpdf. Again, no problems.
I don't know if you'll find it useful but I also found an app called archidroid that allows access to passworded zips. I mention it because most of my zipped pdfs are password protected scans of personal documents.

Best Comic Reader

Hi all. Anyone could share what's comic book reader app you're using and how is it on our Kindle? I'm using Comicrack free but it seems a bit laggy.
Thanks.
I really like Comic Rack, it runs fine on CM7. If you want something more lightweight try ACV.
jj comic viewer for locally stored comics and mangawhat for reading manga online.
I started to use Perfect Viewer after seeing it mentioned in a different thread (CIFS setup one I think). Like it better than Comic rack so far, just a little tricky navigating it at first.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
I read really A LOT of comics on my KF, and so I've tried three or four apps.
I think that the best is absolutely Perfect Viewer. I've never tried Comic Rack, though, so I will give it a shot.

Thanks guys. I too have tried few comic reader apps, Im torn between Perfect Viewer and Comic Reader Mobi. The fastest/lighest I've tried is Mobi, but I like Perfect Viewer's interface.

I have another vote for ComicRack, being able to sync any new comics via WIFI to my Kindle is very handy.

YeS!
I've tried ComicRack both on Windows and as Android App, and Perfect Viewer has been dumped without remorse
WiFi sync is a real charm.
Comic. rar file
I have both ACV and jj comic viewer. Have downloaded a comic in rar format. How do I open it.? I have tried doing a long tap and then opening it as a image, audio, video and text but, nothing happens.

a file source that has been named .rar or sets of files that have been archived
into a .rar file can be a tricky thing. depending on where your file originated you can either get something that can view archived files like .cbz, .cbr and .rar.
i have not tried any of the android comic viewers but my comic viewer on my pc will automatically view any set of images that are archived regardless of the file extension. this could be likely due to the notion that .zip and .rar files can naturally be handled by the archive drivers that are pre-installed, but i digress.
if ACV and jj can not access the file natively; your options are to convert your .rar files into something that both apps can use/open, or try to rename the extensions of your files to whatever ACV/jj handle.
the ACV info page says that i can handle cbr/rar but as a beta function.
such is the case it is likely that the .rar. file has been archived in a way that can not currently be parsed/handled by your comic view apps.
tl;dr
rename the file until it works, try a different app or get a different comic source.
I like Comic Rack, it have landscape and portrait view, the interface is great, zoom using double touch or pinch to zoom
I was just about to ask the same question. Downloading perfect viewer now
ComicRack :
Pros:
- Interface is nice
- Vertical scrolling is smooth
Cons:
- Doesn't read pdf
Perfect Viewer
Pros:
- Read all formats
Cons:
-Vertical scrolling is jerky
Despite it doesn't handle pdf format, I prefer ComicRack..

CBZ files are really just ZIP files (CBZ = Comic Book ZIP). Rename a Comic saved as ZIP to .CBZ and it will work in your reader.
CBR files are really just RAR files (CBR = Comic Book RAR). Rename a Comic saved as RAR to CBR and it will work in your reader.

Looking for a file browser to open books in different apps

I use Cool Reader to view most of my eBooks because it is the most compatible reader I could find (I have a mutt library). It is also easy to navigate and read, unlike apps like Mantano which have tiny useless buttons all over the place. I don't use Adilko because it forces the user to import books into its library, effectively requiring double the space for eBooks: space for my hand-sorted eBook library, and space for its own library. I use BeamReader to view my PDFs because it's the only app I've found that has a text wrap feature. I haven't picked out a comic viewer yet.
I am looking for a browser that can open all non-PDF books in Cool Reader, PDFs in BeamReader, and comics in a comic viewer. I have tried using Root Explorer to open books, but it only works with BeamReader for PDFs. I think it opens .txt files in its own reader.
Is there any single file browser I can use to open all of my eBooks? I'm open to both free and paid options.
Have you tried "Rhythm Software File Manager"?
I use it to open every existing format.
Just remember to associate file extensions with the right apps.
I'm sure it works for CR (html,txt,chm), ezPDF (pdf), ebooka pdf (djvu) opera (htm,html,mht), Documents To Go 3.0 (doc,ppt) and so on..

I just installed it, and I love it. It opens all my files perfectly, it has a great interface, and it even has root r/w support. Thanks for the recommendation!

Downloading videos

I'm having a horrible time trying to figure out how to do this on my tablet.
On my computer, I simply use a video downloader extension with Firefox.
I have the Flash Video Downloader app for Firefox Beta.
When I click for it to download something, a new window pops up of the file and the size of it.
When I click on that, it brings up my Antek File Explorer app but it won't allow me to save the file as is.
I've tried almost every app at the Google Play Store, websites and Web extension add ons.
What is the easiest way to do this?

Easiest way is to download on your CPU and move to your tablet or use a video downloader app though they don't work all the time and it looks as if you had trouble with them already by your post
