Hi there! I think you will have to wait for a while. So far, Acrobat for Pocket PC doesn't support DRM :( And Adobe just brought a new version 1 month ago to the market.

Btw, (and not off-topic at all ;) ) Acrobat Reader / PPC sucks for another reason : it doesn't use the VGA resolution at all !
I'm subscribed to a daily newsletter in PDF format, and I can't read it on my X50v... it's even worse than in regular QVGA !
Anybody knows a PPC program for reading PDF files ? (other that Acrobat Reader, obviously...)

Hi David! Try with http://www.westtek.com/pocketpc/pdf/

I haven't used this one, but the word and powerpoint viewers are working fine

Thanks, it works great !
However [rant mode on] I hate programs that just wouldn't install in their own subdirectory ! Everything went to \Windows ... shame on you, Clearvue ! [/rant mode on]

I was not able to make it work with Acrobat Reader. I even tried using Tweaks2K2, but to no avail.
I'd try real VGA mode, but :
1. it's a pain in the a** that I have to reboot everytime I want to look at a PDF
2. I tried ozVGA and my device crashed...

I also install A. Reader, try it, saw the problems, remove the software. I don't miss it.
