Not sure if this is the right place to ask but.....
I'm looking for a .pdf reader for my Axim X51v with WIN Mobile 5.0, but can find nothing that works, even from Adobe. Any pointers greatly appreciated.....

Of course Adobe Reader for Pocket PC works on WM5.0 devices. What problems did you have when you tried to install it? See this article for a full discussion of Adobe Reader for Pocket PC.

In addition to Adobe Reader for Pocket PC, there are other PDF readers you could use. I wrote a comparative article about what I consider to be the top three (Adobe Reader, Pocketxpdf, & Foxit Reader) and you can read it here.

Thanks Julie,
The problem I had was PEBKAC. I copied the exe from Adobe to my Axim and tried to run it there. Obviously it did not work. All good now. Thank you

Ah yes, the old PEBKAC problem, often referred to, in my work life, as a mix up with the Ergonomics, resulting in an ID. 10. T. error.
