Viewing PDFs on PDAs

johnsemlak · May 27, 2003

OK I have a black and white PDA with 8MB I don't use much any more. I want to know if it's possible to view PDF's on it, and how best to do so.

There is pdf viewer at Adobe.com for PDAs

I use the Adobe Reader for Pocket PC 2002 on my Axim. It's a tricky program; it reads PDFs and adds markers so that it can be read more easily on the pocket format. If your PDF can't take the markers (i.e. if it doesn't have legible, easily defined columns of text) then you can still look at it as if you're holding a deck of cards up on an 8 1/2 x 11 sheet of paper; you've got to do a lot of scrolling and it's very impractical for lengthy reading.

I am not familiar with what options are available for Palm-based products.

That Palm version of Acrobat Reader rocks! Thanks for the link!

I've loaded up the d20 SRD to my Palm -- now I don't have to carry my core books with me! Looking forward to getting a 3.5 SRD in PDF format!

Too bad the core books themselves aren't available as PDFs, but this just made all the gaming PDFs I have more valuable. Time to go buy some memory cards ...
