Does anyone know if there is a compatable version of adobe reader for Axim 51V with windows mobile 5?

Yes, and its even been tested on the exact model axim you own! Get it here

I'm not the sharpest tool inthe shed, but it didn't work for me. Help?

Weird, idk becuase i dont own a wm2005 device. I dont view pdf on my ppc, so i havent used this program. Adobe has a pdf viewer for ppc, but it has issues with wm2005, and this one had been tested on the same model axim. IDK

It works for some pdf files, but not for others. In all cases its very slow.

Adobe Reader 2.0 for Pocket PC works just fine.

Its not VGA, and also it wouldn't close for some reason, had to do a soft reset...?

Thank you for posting this link.

The only problem with the Reader 2 from Adobe is that it doesn't take advantage of VGA very well, which is why there are VGA forcing hacks out there... but otherwise it works fine. Otherwise, you could try ClearVue's PDF reader.

ClearVue's PDF reader doesn't work for some pdf files that contain some special characters, is there a better one?

Adobe Reader 2.0 works on my X51V (WM5) but when trying to open library downloaded (digital right management protected) pdf eBook, it said the license has expired (although my Acrobat 7.0 on my PC works). Any help appreciated!

I tried to install reader 2.0 today and it wouldn't either on the device or on the card. there was plenty of room on both. Prior to my last hard reset it went on like a dream. Hmmm. X51v. Are there any settings I can tweak?

I haven't tried with my handheld, but I know for books I want to read on my desktop computer and on my laptop computer, both computers have to be registered/recognized (Authorize devices ?) thru Acrobat Reader in order to view the book (look under Digital Editions in Acrobat Reader). May have to do this with your handheld?

Oh, yes, I registered the Adobe Reader 2.0 my Axim 51V, but still it can't open the same .pdf I downloaded from library. It works well with non protected .pdf.
Anybody got it to work?

Plain and simple, Adober reader 2.0 just doesn't really work. I have been going through all sorts of contortions to get it to work. And it won't. It can't. I have tried to read .pdfs that are only made for the versions of acrobat that came before 2.0 and that still isn't 100%.
