PDF reader hang - Windows Phone 8 General

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?

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.

Help! Cant print PDF's without this I am doomed!!!

I need to print PDF's to a bluetooth printer...i have tried printboy but it reformats my document and it is essentially unuseable...i tried clearview and the PDF is not visible unless I bring it into active sync first to allow it to create tags on the PDF.
Adobe Reader 2.0 for Pocket PC. I can view the document but the print button it greyed. What gives?
I would be fine with IR printing but it fails every time I fire a document.
Oh I have the Verizon 6700 version of the Wizard.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help I have been searching on and off for a week and it is driving me insane....
did you try following program?
JETCET PRINT
http://www.westtek.com/pocketpc/jetcet/
Yes i tried that software. I also tried it along with the Clearvue Pro. When I try to view the PDF in Clearvue it is blank. If I bring the same PDF in via Active Sync then it mentions that the PDF is untagged and if I would like it to attempt to tag. Once I run it through this I can see it and print.
The problem with this is that people in the field will be using this and they wont have access to Active Sync. They have to download the PDF and print on the fly.
Did you try using the adobe ppc pdf reader instead of clearvue? I think it is free. Also I think HP has some printer software/drivers. Dont know if it will work but worth a try.
Yes, I have tried Adobe Acrobat also the print button is greyed. I am trying to figure out how to activate it and have been on ADOBE's site in the forums but no one seems to know...also I tried to get the HP drivers but cant find them anymore. They say something on the site about discontinuing the drivers after Oct of 2005 or something.
If anyone has an idea how I can ungrey that print button or get the HP drivers it would be great. I can view my PDF perfect in ADOBE I just cant print.
Thanks again i really apreciate any help and I really need to get this working!
here is a link to download the hp mobile printing 4.0
http://www.pocket4you.com/freeware/index.php?vypis=jedno&id=199
Hope it works for you.
Great! I am downloading now. Thanks a million I will let you know how it works out!
hp mobile printing won't work because you're running WM5.
You may want to try this. It's expensive, but it may work for you. It has a 15 day trial period too.

Ok well I installed it but it doesn't seem to install properly. It gives me an error that it may not work properly because it was designed for a previous version of Windows Mobile. I am of course using Windows Mobile 5.
Any ideas or suggestions?
Any idea how I can get the "Print" button in ADOBE Reader for Pocket PC 2.0 active?
Weatheryoko,
I tried the bachmansoftware solution it is what I called Printboy. It does actually print but the problem is that its sends it somewhere forst where it converts the PDF. When it comes back down and I print it it completely reformats it all out of sequence. It doesn't "Paint" the way I had the report layed out...
I sent them an email this morning to ask them if they could pint me in the right direction as to how it performs this conversion and maybe that will give me insite on how to re-write my report so that the conversion wouldn't affect the content layout so drastically.
Haven't gotten any feedback as of yet from them

On the adobe site it says it works with bluetooth hp printers. Did you try to turn the bluetooth on the wizard on and pair it to the printer? Maybe you can pair the printer and phone using jetcet? Anyways these are some suggestions to try if you already havent. Good luck.
Yeah actually the funny thing is that I am using an HP 450 bluetooth printer...I can the jetcet application comes bundled with Clearvue professional (thats the only way it will print PDF as jetcet by itself doesnt see the PDF's) problem is when I open the PDF in Clearvue it looks blank...
I think it has to do with the fact it is an untagged PDF...
If i take the same PDF and bring it into the handheld using Active Sync it is tagged I can see it and print it...
It is super irritating that Microsoft didn't build native printing functionality into Windows Mobile to begin with...
I am still struggling with this...

Adobe Reader LE won't read this PDF - just my phone or everyone's?

Here's a simple PDF map of the London Underground, about 200K:
http://www.tfl.gov.uk/assets/downloads/standard-tube-map.pdf
Loads fine on a PC, but when I try and view it on my HD2 using Adobe Reader LE, it doesn't load correctly - I just get a grey screen and no image.
Am I doing something wrong?
Same here mate. That's a bit crap really isn't it!
I just tried opening the pdf on the link above. Doesn't open on my mobile either. However I have succeeded in opening loads of pdf files since I bought the hd2.
Just tried other pdf files a couple of minutes ago and no problems. Looks like the underground map pdf is not 'healthy'... try another location if there is one.
That PDF opens but is damaged, acrobat repairs it as it opens it. I assume the HD2 can't repair it.
Try opening it on your pc, then saving it down with a different name, see if that works.

Acrobat Reader 9 didn't try to correct it on my PC. Perhaps it's using a more recent pdf format than Reader LE supports?
I just did a test, opened it up and saved it down directly with new file name and now opens perfectly on my HD2

Very, I am on a Mac at the moment as I am at work but it shouldn't make any difference.
If you PM me an e-mail address I can send you the working PDF to see if it works ok on yours
We need an app to do this. Opening PDFs for a tube map is old skool LOL.
I had to open it and reprint to my pdf writer to get it to open.
Here it is working on HD2:

Think it was just a poorly saved PDF, a one off. Hopefully
Is anyone using an alternative to adobe reader LE? because i hate that it cannot go to FULL SCREEN without those tool bars on the bottom. [email protected]!
bump. 10o char.
Is there anyway to get rid of the scroll bar on the side of Adobe LE? FULL-FULL screen please?
Try these!
_a Converted with Acrobat 9 Pro
_b Converted with Acrobat 9 Pro and saved for Reader 5 or higher

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.

Integrated PDF reader on Android browser

Hi guys.. I need your help here.. Do you know any browser with integrated pdf reader for android? The thing is that I need to download every single pdf document in order to read it.. I can't directly open it on the browser.. Or if there are no such browser, do you know how to open a pdf file without downloading it? I hate being laughed at by the iPhone users since they can open it directly on their browser..
Thanks for your help guys..
I'd like to know this too!

Microsoft Bl***dy Reader

Hi Guys
I have been trying to get the reader to work on my PDA running 6.5 PDA and now running 6.1 with the great help from Tony Chef.
Before posting this i spent various hours looking up the problem on the net and reading here as well as trying factivation but nothing seems to work.
I successfully activate the reader and when I come to read purchased books it won't let me open the purchased books, only the downloaded ones. It either closes the reader programme down or says that my reader is not activated although it says it is at the bottom of the reader start up screen.. Can anyone either come up with a working solution or an alternative reader that can read micrsoft reader lit format files. I prefer to use reader as I find it alot better to use that adobe and other ones I have found but this problem is driving me mad!!! I am installed the latest reader for 6.1 and followed various instructions and hacks like factivation but nothing ever seems to solve it.
Thanks
Anyone !

you try to use Freda the free ebook reader, to download it go to http://www.turnipsoft.co.uk/freda/
Thanks for the reply, I can use reader for non DRM books but I have loads of books which I have bought which have DRM and the Freda software will not work with them, so back to square one, seems the only way is to get reader working unless I can remove the drm from the books
