Huh? You can activate the PPC version for use with protected ebooks, etc.

Where on the Adobe site did you find info saying the PPC version doesn't support DRM?

Ok. So I did this, and I am still unable to view files that I scan into my computer as PDF files. The error message I am getting says:

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

Do you have any advice on this?

I just took a look at Adobe's download site and it says that Adobe Reader for Pocket PC 2002 version 2.0 is meant for:

Platform: Pocket PC 2002 and Windows® Mobile 2003 with Update 2

Isn't update 2 WM2003SE? I stand corrected if it's not. Anyhow, I'm downloading it now.

What are you using to scan the files? I have some files that I scanned with the PaperPort application that came with my Dell all-in-one printer; they are PDF and they (or at least the one I tried) open in Adobe Reader on my X50v just fine.

I'm downloading AR2 (which is meant for the WM2003 update 2 platform). It works fine on my X50v.

If you have SR-1 then SR-2 is just a free download from Microsoft.
