Hi, my main usage of folio is studying lots of manuals, so I need capability of search function and highliting written text. The best sw found till now is quickoffice, which has the search function but no highlights. I saw htc tablet (flyer) having it, but don't know where to find it. Any help or suggestions for a similar sw?
Thanks bye
Try RepliGO Reader.

My vote is also on RepliGO Reader for your purpose... I still use Adobe Reader mostly myself
I would recommend ezPDF reader, far the best pdf reader I ever seen on Android. You can add sticky- or hand drawn notes, and highlight, underline, or strike out words. Moreover it's very cheap.
Well, I find myself very comfortable with ezpdf, tks for helping

it's better, but not that great either. very bloated and crashes often. is fast though.
i personally like Ansyr Primer, which is no longer sold. a little slow in rendering, but doesn't crash as often as the adobe and less memory hungry. you can also add annotations and bookmarks. it doesn't do tagged files like the adobe reader, which is one good things going for it.
I don't know why there is so little development in producing good pdf readers.
in any case, using pdfs a lot, i keep them all, and find them useful for different types of documents.
with Primer, you have to apply a vga aware patch, from something like tweaks 2k2, if you have a vga machine. I bought my copy a while ago. if nobody is selling it, i've checked and noted other sources do have it.
PocketXPDF
http://pocketxpdf.sourceforge.net/
I find it the best one.
Renders pages in real VGA.

just for the record - the adobe ppc pdf reader sux.
it lasted 2 hours on my rig.
trying sourceforge jobbie now . . .
Try `foxit' pdf reader which has just released for ppc ,the evaluation purpose .( just reminds it and there no limit of days as i have neen using it for so many number of days) the best or the worst part is that it runs from itself , installs no files on windows folder . it is one single file(1.25 mb) transferred via active sync to the storage card then add to today screen via pocket plus and then through resco explre make it the default program to view pdf files

Use this one all the time.
Putting into full screen landscape allows half of a full page to be easily readable.
Only down side is the delay in waiting for the next page to load - hopefully this will be fixed in a later version

Hey matt.
you're only bloody right!
this is a good reader guys.
nice rendering, i think a little better than clearvue and certainly the pile of elephant turd that is the adobe reader - that was just embarrassing!

Help please
Hi All
Coud someone please get the .cab file from :
http://pocketxpdf.sourceforge.net/
And put it on the board , as my proxy at work wont let me download it the normal way.
Please please please someone help
thanks
Steve
Ask and you will receive my brother!
Many Many thanks
Many Many thanks
You are a life saver !
Steve
it takes bloody ages to load initially and the page load times is fairly crap but full screen and programmable h/ware buttons makes it kewl.
as i said before the rendering is pretty wicked too!
WOW!!!! Just installed PocketXPDF and it has got to be the best PPC PDF reader available. Rendering the pages does take a while but at least it is worth the wait.
Thanks for sharing that with us.
Adobe?
I tried my pdf book which has 2700 pages in my JASJAR with Adobe reader,it nicely tagged it for viewing in "reflow mode" (text wraps around to fit the screen) so that we need not scroll it horizontally even after zooming.
Wow! how nicely Adobe did it and I could read the book continously in reflow mode with zoom.I think NO Other pdf reader can do this.Even 'Repligo',I tried same book with Repligo pdf mobilizer,still no reflowing.
Adobe reader is the Best pdf reader without any doubt,but it has its own drawbacks like: Very bulky,freezes ur PPC if not used for sometime(after opening).No official compatibility for WM5 devices.
If the size of the file is small,any reader would do.But bigger files,reflow mode Adobe is jus Gr8!
Acrobat reader has been working great for me for the past two years.
it just depends on the following question:
- do you use a realVGA 'hack'?
if yes:
use acrobat reader
if no:
use pocketXPDF reader
because you really want VGA instead of qVGA. and reflow is a really big plus for acrobat imo

RE
I believe non of the mentioned readers can do the followings completely
a) must have scrolling feature (available in Adobe Reader)
b) text and picture must be sharp (apply to all readers except Adobe)
c) small in size (definitely not for Adobe Reader)
Any?
Hello all,
I've tried searching for a text reader with bookmarking ability for the X1,
The only one I've found is uBook, but the site seems to be down for the past 3 days.
Does anyone know of any other reader software that can handle un-DRM'ed RTF files?
Thanks in advance.
Mobipocket Reader doesn't work on the X1? BTW: uBook is a very good e-book reader for the PPC. Sorry to hear that the site is down

Yeah, I installed mobipocket but unless i'm going daft, it wouldn't show the RTF files I have...I really don't want to go throught the effort of converting formats...so i'll probably wait till the uBook site is back up unless anyone else has an reader recommendation
There is a thread on the ubook forum:
http://www.4winmobile.com/forums/ubook-official-support-forum/
Nobody knows why it is down. Potentially moving hosts (hopefully). An excellent ebook reader that I had on my Wizard. Was hoping to revive it on my Xperia...
I know the THD has Adobe Reader LTE on it, is there anything better for viewing PDF files.

What's wrong with Adobe LE? Have you tried using Adobe LE's "reflow" function? Head to the registry HKCU\Software\Adobe\AdobeReaderLE 2.5\ and change the value of "EnableReflow" to 1. Restart Adobe and now you can "reflow" the text from tools->view.
I don't think any other pdf-viewer has this feature, which makes Adobe LE by far the best reader IMHO.
try fox-It reader http://www.foxitsoftware.com/pdf/mobile/wm_ppc.htm
I don't want to start the same old discussion here.. But
Adobe Reader LE is
a)Faster
b)Better resolution.
c)Has better Reflow.
d)Has better memory management.
e)Is free (comes with device)
What more do you need. ??
do a google for mobilexpdfwm6, it gives more detail than adobe for me.

I'm reading an e-book using Adobe Reader LE but there doesn't seem to be any settings whereby I can bookmark the last page I read so that I can return to that page once I reopen the same e-book. Does anyone know how this can be done or if not, whether any other readers has this functionality? Thanks.
Don't know about that functionality, but personally I love Repligo if you can be bothered with the conversion process. Light weight, provides flow mode (yeah, PMS on demand!), and seems to work nicely with large PDFs.

I like PocketXpdf with it's "View text only" feature. However, some PDFs can't be opened

I used to usse Repligo on a Palm, and loved it. But now Repligo says it no longer makes the version for WM. Where did you get it?
hi, i wanted to know if there is an app like the iphone pdf reader which shows the book cover like in the pic...
or at least some kind of launcher that you see the book cover then read it on adobe of foxit reader...
thanks
Don't know something like you ask, but instead you can try HTC eReader.
Just throwing out a line to get some ideas on the best PDF viewer, possibly with annotation (although not required). I'm looking for something fast and smooth that can navigate larger documents, etc.
I like the polaris office one, at least better than adobe reader, which seems sluggish.
+1 for Polaris Office. Not perfect, but faster than the Adobe Reader app.
Hmm, I might have to try to find a copy of Polaris, it has disappeared from my app list in the midst of various ROM changes.
Repligo PDFReader
I use it to have clients sign contracts right on the screen. But has so many functions.. Check out the Video
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.cerience.reader.app&feature=search_result
It is $4.99 but well worth it.
+1
Polaris Office
Repligo +1 for me. And for read the include Acer Lumiread.
At some of android news website I saw a test of pdf readers and the winner was ezPDF reader. Maybe you'll like it (sorry for my english)

Thanks, I'm trying it out now. Seems pretty good, overall.
Did you ever try ezPDF? I've been using Repligo for about a month and I love it! It was definitely worth the $4.99 (actually, when I bought it, it was $1.99 @ the Amazon Appstore).
I looked forever for the perfect android PDF app for reading books and ezPDF won hands down. Amazing control, bookmaking, and text rendering. I couldn't believe how many of the apps weren't up to par.
Sorry to drudge up a moderately old post, but I have a question about ezPDF. Can you rotate documents? I scan a lot of stuff into PDF, and sometimes I need to rotate the pages on the fly?
Also, does it support adding notes (written with stylus) and bookmarks? I've seen other posts and some say that it has this feature, others complain it doesn't.
Thanks,
-PW

I do not see rotation in the settings anywhere.
And it does support adding notes, annotations. Just tap and hold screen and chose "free hand". It will ask u if u want to make a copy for annotating which is great so u dont mark up the only copy u have. It will create another copy if u like to mark up. Once u chose, then write as much as u want. Good program.
i'm working with lots of PDFs - non-editable, editable, with markups, making markups - and right now the best reader and marker for PDF for me is RepliGo.
The PDF Viewer from Picsel Smart Office is as well very good and very fast but without marking capabilities.
Picsel Smart Office has as well the best excel, word and powerpoint readers/editors.
