PDF files, built-in Acrobat Reader can't read.

I have some PDF files and I tried using the built-in acrobat reader to read it, but it won't on my Universal.
Any ideas why?
Any other recommended PDF file readers that support passwords?

you can try PocketXpdf it's supposed to support password protected files. and it's pretty good to boot. i tried acrobat reader but it didn't seem to perform well... Clearvue also has a newer version (v3.0.543)

Thanks very much! Works very well on the Universal.

How do I assign these programs to be native?

I am looking for tweaks to do the following on my MDA (Tmo USA, WM5, 2.26 rom)::
Disable Clearvue PDF and instead enable Adobe as default PDF viewer (Clearvue sucks, I want my PDF files to open natively using Adobe-- if I click on the PDF file Adobe opens it, currently Clearvue does this)
Set TCPMP as my default media and make Windows only activate if I want it to (so if I click on a media file it opens in TCPMP instead of opening in windows...currently I have to activate media by going through TCPMP, I want it to do that natively-- click on media file and TCPMP opens it)
I am not great at tweaking my registry, so if you know how to do this, please tell me in the "For Dummies" version (I use PHMRegedit)...and I have already checked the Adobe, TCPMP sites and googled on how to do this through the apps itself. Please help me.
Thank you in advance.
PS--...and yes, I searched FAQ's, and Hints/Tips threads, etc.

if you use 0.71 tcpmp an all plugins you can set tcpmp to open all files in the settings of the program. it lists many types in there. just check all the boxes and your icons will change to tcpmp ones.
I'm sorry but I have no knowledge on the other questions you asked. Hope I helped with the subject I know.

Thank you so much, that worked for TCPMP. I sure appreciate the help and prompt response. Thanks again!

***BUMP***
Can anyone help me with the Adobe associations over ClearVue?

books library?

hi,
i'm using my trinity a lot for books reading. i have them in *.txt format. i would like a suggestion of a program/database that will allow me to put them all together and view them easily, as well as search the text within them.
thank you very much

For putting them together you can use mobipocket reader (google it - the app is free) - desktop version can convert some formats, including .txt into its own file format and allows you to organise your books, sync them with your phone, etc.. I'm not sure about searching inside a book though.

you can also use ms free ebook reader they got a various formats->lit converter

Htc Reader Application

The reader on htc desire HD is great, i love it that it comes preloaded with couple of great books but how do i add more books to it. I tried tranfering a book in pdf and epub form but it doesn't seem to load onto the reader app but i can see the pdf file in adobe reader...How do i add the epub or pdf into Reader app?

You need to log into your own Kobo or Adobe ID account, and get the books from there. There is no file import option AFAIK.

yes, epub files work.
You have to put them in the Digital Distribution folder on the SD card, they will show up in the reader once you start it

I don't have any folder called this, where is it located?

I'm sorry, i meant Digital Editions
You'll find it on the root of the SD Card, if it's not there make it.

HTC Reader ICS version?
Hi,
Does anyone have the HTC reader compatible with ICS 4.03? I tried using the old app but it malfunctions in that it stops working when trying to load a book and also loads on half a screen.
Thanks!

The adobe reader app works for the pdf files and books I use

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.

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.

Perfect Viewer a d ComiXology

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.
