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 ....

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.
As I have no administrator rights on my pc, can anyone send me the .cab file for Adobe Acrobat Reader 2.0 for PocketPC?
TIA

After Unlock EXTRom i deleted all file in EXTR so when i did HardReset i can not fin out this file. i think it is from a file in EXTR, but i dont know. Any one has that experience please let me an advice/ TU
Not exactly sure if I understand your question.. but,.. you can always install the Adobe PPC PDF reader from here:
http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readerforppc.html
my experience has been that the adobe PDF reader is easier to read because of the reflow mode. however if you want to print PDF's the cleavue reader is the only way to go (assuming you have westtek JetCet printer software). now i haven't got my JasJar yet, so i don't know if the adobe reader works in VGA mode, or if the PDF reader is easier to use wit the VGA mode; but i've used cleavue/adobe for several years on 320x240 pocketpcs and smartphones.
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
Wich (free) PDF reader works fine on my Chinese HTC Diamond Touch?
I tried several but they failed when i want to install them on my phone.
My phone runs on WM 6.5.

Do you know that certain devices need digitally-signed *.cab files?
Here are the ones I use for reading pdf's;
Foxit Reader mobile (I really love the PC version for its awesome speed)
http://www.foxitsoftware.com/pdf/mobile/
Goto THiS SiTE and do a search for PDF from there goto Acrobat Reader 2
And here for Acrobat Reader for WM
Pocket XPDF
Success,
