Is there a working version of the acrobat reader for windows mobile 5?
My imate Jas-jar came with Clear Vue PDF viewer included. I think it is bundled with WM5 however it does not appear in the programs folder. Try opening a pdf file, and I think you will find it opens in Clear Vue .
ClearVue doesn't seem to open about 75% of my files, which were all created on highest compression... Gotta find a better alternative. I had Picsel on my Palm before that was awesome.
ClearVue is on the companion CD, you need to install it manually.
ClearVue is the most ****ty pdf reader I have tried so far and was the initial reason why I asked for adobe acrobat reader for wm5 in here.
How about adobes own with a VGA hack for force it to high res? this is what i use.
can you be more specific about that vga hack ? Also; iahev tried to install adobes acrobat reader, but had no luck ....
hi
i have working version of acrobat reader, got it from adobe website, here is the link
http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2_mobile.html
Try the one for ARM and X-Scale models
Ok Bye
get tweaks2k and use the 'force vga' thing
Hi,
Have a look at a program called Styletap - apparently it allows you to run Palm OS apps on Windows Mobile v5.
I haven't tried it yet, but I used to own a palm with a few progs so I might give it a go.
It might help you run your old Palm reader.
Regards
Michael

what does that 'force vga' thing actually do ?
You must download free Adobe 2.0 Version in ENGLISH !
That is the only one, work with the Universal.
All other Lang. are not working !
If it freeze during start, tap sometimes on screen,-it will works !
Adobe's version of Acrobat
Got to go with the Adobe version - sure its bloated and takes the usual age to load each time you start it fresh - but it beats clearview hands down

Bloated? It takes a couple of minutes to load for me!
Gimme a PDA version of Foxit, and hurry up 'bout it!
It took 15 secs to load on my Exec. Not great but at least it can actually read PDF documents unlike ClearVue.
Adobe reader for pocketPC v2.0 work well on my o2 mini.
If I can remove some plugin, it could be smaller in installation. Anyone can help which files to remove? Thanks!

Adobe acrobat 1.0-better than 2.0
Hi guys. Of cource i am looking for something better that could open all sorts of books like all of us.I stumbled upon this post and I see your issues.I must admit thet the embeded clearvue Pdf(if I'm right) suks and I never used it.Also I downloaded the Adobe 2.0 when I got my Jasjar,just to realize theat IT HAS 14 MB!!!.A lot .And loading ...and loading...
Anyways,I owned before mj jasjar an Ipaq and had adobe 1.0 on it.So I installed it on my partner(Jasjar) and it works wonderfully for me.
Opens up in seconds and does all that needs to get a book or a document.
I'll try to put it up here someplace. Let's see if I can figure it out.
I found something here as well: http://www.hpcfactor.com/support/cesd/s/0067.asp
also : http://downloads.zdnet.co.uk/0,39025604,39050362s,00.htm
Good Luck.
Can anyone tell me the registry tweaks to make Adobe the default reader for PDF files in WM 5?
To read a PDF in Adobe, I have to open the Adobe Reader and open the file. If I just click on a PDF now, it opens in that useless ClearView program that comes with WM 5.
I want to open PDFs in Adobe just by clicking on them, the way I open Word and Excel files. Can that be done in WM 5? If so, how?
Never mind !
Found the problem. HKCR\pdffile\shell\opendoc has to be set to the same value as HKCR\pdffile\shell\open. The Adobe reader updates everything except "opendoc" when it installs.

Yeah I agree, ClearVue is worthless. All I did was go into the registry and remove the command for ClearVue (Westek) without removing the program itself. Just highlight and backspace the command, click OK, soft re-set and all pdf files opened will be read by your Adobe reader. You may want to write down the command line in case you want it back later. After I did this, Foxit reader became my default. Is there an OTA cab file for the adobe reader that can be installed directly to my 8125? I've tried several websites, but have not been able to install this directly.
Thanks. It's nice to be able to just click on PDFs and have them open in Adobe now. The pocket version has a nifty word-wrap feature that does a good job of making PDFs readable on a small screen.
Haven't seen a cab-install version. The one I use is an exe that installs itself to the 8125 from the PC desktop:

Help Needed please...
I have exactly the same problem as posted by kidlockatong but dont know how to do a registry tweak. I have downloaded "Total Commander" whch I believe can do the tweak. Can some one guide me through the tweaking process ....
Thanks a lot
Is there a cab so I can put acrobat on the 6.1 dev rom?
or do I just use the file from adobes site?
http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2_mobile.html
edit: that file doesn't work. =/
Hey,
Here is a cab for Adobe LE. Adobe actually doesn't give out Adobe LE for free. If i understand correctly, microsoft bought rights to use that app on their devices. I think
Awesome, thanks.
my pdf files aren't associated though.
I can't find adobe on mine. I am using MobileXPdf. Associations are easy with total commander
Well, If you guys can dig up the registry hack for pdf association. I'll gladly add it to the cab.
Thanks
Hi Levis,
Many thanks for putting up the cab file. You just saved my life...
Best,
Mike
Tried the "Diamond" cab in wifes' Juno(TMobile Shadow 1, WM6.0) and worked fine. She needed a pdf reader that had reflow so she could read her ebooks. I have a Shadow 2(WM6.1) with the same version(Adobe Reader LE 2.5).
Thanks......
On the old QVGA screen i have never been able to read any PDF's (I have dozens of important manuals in PDF/A4 format) but it just was not possible..
So will this screen with a good pdf viewer allow me to read these manualls ?
I also have a lot of manualls in html helpfile format [ .chm ] is there a way to access these on a winmobile device ?
I prefer Picsel Viewer 1.2.
I know that XDA Dev. dont like naming it and it´s not easy to get but its te best app for almost every type of format.
Hi Eymen,
is Picsel Browser the same as Picsel Viewer?
As I understand Picsel Viewer was only for Palm?
If not, is there an version for WM devices?
Can you point me in the direction? Or PM me?
TIA
This is a great freeware pdf viewer: http://pocketxpdf.sourceforge.net/
and this is my favorite pdf viewer to date (not freeware) http://www.foxitsoftware.com/downloads/index.php foxit 1.4 beta.
Hi there,
sorry to ask this simple question to you pros here, but can someone please post a link on what Registry and File Editor to use on the HTC HD2?
Thanks in advance
Cheers
I have Soti Pocket Controller, so I use the one that's included with that. It's a lot easier to do it from a PC screen and you're less likely to make any mistakes.
Thanks for the swift reply, so you are not using some software on the device itself but on the PC.
Are you using this version: http://www.soti.net/default.asp?Cmd=Products&SubCmd=PCPro
?
Cheers
P.S. If I wanted to use soemthing on the device itself, what do you recommend?
I love Resco Explorer, it is a very very good file manager and has an equally good registy editor included.
otherwise, the free total commander does a good job, too, but is not really finger friendly.

I have Resco Explorer which apparently has a good Registry editor, but I've never used it TBH. I'm sure other guys here are better placed to recommend a good registry editor to use directly on the phone.

I used 2008 and now for testing 2010. Both works good
File explorer
What sort of files are you planning on editing?
As a file explorer, I found a very useful extension called fexploreext which is not a swiss army knife, but a single blade pocket knife. Very useful, and simple.
For the registry, I use a desktop editor called CeRegEditor free from from mdsoft.pl
On the device, PHM is good.

Yes that's the one. Without wishing to sidetrack thsi thread I use Pocket Controller to type long messages, texts or emails on my phone using my PC or laptop. It's much easier & quicker than typing directly on the phone and with the HD there's absolutely no lag.
I am using Resco Explorer 2010 (BETA) and love it. The interface isn't any different from previous version, which is fine as they had a touch interface that worked perfectly on HD2 already.

Hi there,
I was looking into modding my HD2 with the Mods featured on this page:

Find where you have saved the cab file using file manager and tap on the cab to install. Let it install and then it should then appear in your start menu. Cabs are to windows mobile what setup.exe is to desktop windows.
Many thanks Wizzzard. So far so good. I'm guessing that most .CAB's should be installed on the device and not on the Storage card? I've just installed Total Commander and now just need to figure out how it works etc and start looking in the Hints and Tips section.

Same here. However, I also have the freeware 'PHM Regedit' installed on my HD2 for emergency alterations when on the move. It works quite well with fingers.
As for file editors you simply cannot beat Resco Explorer. It's the best file explorer/editor on Windows Mobile but unfortunately isn't free.
For anyone not using activesync and wanting to try the resco 2010 beta, you can just open the installer with winrar and itll show u the cabs, copy to phone and install.
9/10, nice, but i expected more change since previous resco explorer & plugins, then again its still beta so more change may come
