How do I bypass the "Tagged PDF" requirement of Pocket Adobe Reader 2.0?

A lot of my PDF files can not be converted to "tagged" files that Pocket Adobe Reader requires. Therefore, they are unviewable in my Pocket PC (X50v). How do I bypass this? Any registry or utility hack? Thx.

I would also like to know this as I have the same situation....

Tagging is not needed to view files on you PPC. Tagging is a method of wrapping the text so that the page views nicer. This is the reflow mode that it is refering to when it says it can not tag the file. You can hit the skip tagging process when you copy the files to your PPC and it doesn't matter.

Thanks sdpinter,

I got this message:"There was an error opening this document. This is either not a supported file type or the file has been corrupted."

For some reason, my desktop Adobe Reader has no problem opening these files at all. I thought that was due to the files not being "tagged" for Pocket PC uses. Now, I guess they are corrupted in some way that a Pocket Viewer can not handle. Thanks.

It's also possible that your desktop viewer has a plugin used to view the file type which your pocket pc doesn't have. You may want to look at repligo which allows you to view almost any file which you can print from your computer. It basically creates a printer you can select which creates a document which you can view on your pocket pc. With some file types it will create flowable text for easier viewing. I've used both and do like the convience of being able to view files which I couldn't normally open on my pocket pc.
