Hi all,

I seem to be having troubles with adobe acrobat on the PalmOS...It loads some things ok, but most PDFs don't seem to convert probably and are difficult to navigate and look nothing like they do on the computer.

Is there a better program or a method of converting the files so that they are easier to read on the PDA (more like it looks on the PC)?

Thanks! 🙂
 
I read PDFs on my pocket pc (so I assume this applies to palm, but wouldn't be surprised if I was dead wrong). I use the 'Reflow' function which squeezes the text into my screen allowing me to read and not worry about left to right scrolling. Occassionally, I will switch the screen orientation to landscape to get more space. If there are tables or what not that are horribly altered by the reflow function, I turn off reflow and look the table/figure over by scrolling back and forth, then switch back to reflow for reading the text.
