Publisher's description of Adobe Reader (Pocket PC)

Adobe Reader for Pocket PC software lets you view Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF) files on Pocket PC devices. Adobe Reader for Pocket PC includes two components that work together: The ActiveSync filter runs on the Windows platform. It prepares untagged Adobe PDF files for the Pocket PC and transports them to the user's handheld device. The reader is the Pocket PC application, designed to accommodate the characteristics of small-screen devices.

Adobe Reader for Pocket PC allows you to choose between two ways to view Adobe PDF files. One allows you to view the Adobe PDF file exactly as intended. The second utilizes tagged Adobe PDF files, which provide the best reading experience on handheld devices because text and images can be easily reflowed to fit the screen size. Tagged Adobe PDF files can be created with Adobe Acrobat 6.0 Professional, Adobe Acrobat 6.0 Standard, Adobe PageMaker 7.0, Adobe FrameMaker 7.0, or Adobe InDesign 2.0. Version 2 adds mobile data entry, wireless printing, and slide show viewing features.

  "Slow and not very practical"

  by jonno965 on February 12, 2007

  Cons: I've loaded this on to my HP hw6900 and, although the PDA has a fair amount of free memory, it was a bit on the slow side. As far as the practicality of viewing pdf files on a PDA, unless you really need the info and are willing to zoom in and out due to the small size of the screen, it's not worth the effort. I've gone back to this a few times (3 to be exact), reloaded it thinking that perhaps I was wrong (since I love the idea of viewing pdf's on my PDA), but same disappointment.

  "Great Pdf Viewer , thumbs up!"

  by shah1981 on March 22, 2008

  Pros: I like reading E-books on PDA & Adobe Reader makes it easier to do so.

  Remember :

  1 Use 'Tagged' pdf files, easy for your Pda (see Reader's read me for instructions) &

  2. Use 'Reflow' feature of the Reader.

  I have used it on O2 Stealth, Hp4150 & Asus P525 got good results.

  Good text size options as well.

  Overall Recommended!

  Cons: As it is customized for PDAs image viewing isn't great.

  OCR pdf difficult to read.
