Acrobat Reader 2.0 reading PDFs on SD card woas

[chiefbobkat]

Except if you convert a file to Repligo, you lose the main advantage of PDFs in the first place - they're a "Portable Document Format" (ergo the name PDF), which means that they can be viewed on a PC, a Mac, a PDA, or any other device capable of reading PDF files, and will look almost exactly the same on each one. So if he needs to copy the file to someone, either he carries a PDF and Repligo version of the file... or he's stuck.

I just wish that Westek would put out a better version of the ClearVue suite - I found it as slow as PocketXPDF for viewing PDF files (it redraws the whole page instead of just what's being shown), but even slower to load files than Adobe.

$29.95 no thanks!

It's also slow. That's the BIGGEST problem with it, outside of the random crashes I had. And to think they're charging money for a product inferior to Adobe's...

DO NOT GET REPLIGO! It's a waste of money and as far as I know, they have no plans to address issues with the program. I've written them several times for over 2 years and I finally gave up a year ago.

I have Acrobat Reader 2.0 (AR2) installed on the main memory of my Axim X51. I have a 1GB SD card that I am using to stored pdfs on. AR2 sees the pdfs on the SD card and opens them. The problem occurs when either I turn off the screen or screen times out, upon turning my Axim back on I get an unable to read file error and I have to soft boot my Axim in order to clear the error.

Any ideals how to fix? If there is a previous thread that discusses please point me to it.

Same thing happes with MSReader. Similar thing happens with MobiReader - difference is that Mobireader just looses your place. With MSReadr, you have to restart, but it maintains your place in the book. Sounds like a WM5 problem - did not have this problem any any earlier OSs
