Hello friends,
I'm looking for an alternative to Acrobat Reader 2.0. Acrobat Reader seems to dislike Windows 6.1 and/or AP 4.0 and is causing alot of unnecessary crash.
The built-in Acrobat LE is not helpful - I need a software to work with tagged files !
Who can help ?
Regards and thanks in advance
Dieter
Not sure what you mean with "tagged files", but you should give PocketXpdf a try.
I've been using it for some months now, it fullfills most of my pdf-needs.
And it's free (FOS).
See http://pocketxpdf.sourceforge.net/ for some screenshots and the download.

hello,
i´m loving the hd2, but the rss hub hangs up very often, so i´m really like to solve this issue by using an differend rss reader.
so the big question is, which is the best rss reader available for the hd2?
many thanks in advance.
best regards
mario
Dear spoogedemon,
I advise you to install Egress... I tried many but liked egress as it is fully configurable...
Here is the link : http://www.garishkernels.net/egress.shtml
Kind Regards...
Spb News is good and finger-friendly.
My favorite is SBSH GoNews Touch.
GoNews is best.
Tried them all and the only one which has never hung with regular use for me is Egress. Manages podcasts well too
SpeeedReader reads google reader...excellent program!
full-feed possible?
I have been using yomomedia and been very happy. it handles podcats, vidcasts etc. And it is free. SBSH GoNews Touch looks similar to yomomedia but it's a paid application.
I have one question. i don't have a data plan so i read the rss feeds offline. sometimes i would like to see the full articles. are there any rss reader that can trick the source into downloading the full feed or downloading the full feed link in addition to the summary so that when i click the link full feed is available?
thank you very much!
Another vote for yomomedia
yomomedia is good - nice modern interface and I love the way you can configure all your feeds (inc video and audio) via a web page on your desktop (where it's much easier to configure) and the mobile version syncs with that. You can also set it to only download audio / video content when you're connected to a pc (etc. - very configurable). The initial feeds it sets you up with are a bit annoying but once you've got them deleted and your own setup it's great.
Thanks for the recommendation on Yomomedia folks, just started to look into sorting out my RSS feeds properly, and really liking YMM (the web service that syncs with the phone is nice, much prefer organising that on my PC!). As you say, shame about the pre-loaded feeds, but once deleted its excellent.
Speeed Reader asks for my google reader account credentials. I type em in like I do in my PC webbrowser but it says I can't login?
I love RSS Hub and I don't see any reason to change. It came with my HD2 and it works really good.

RSS Hub is freezing itself a lot of time for many people ...
Which version do you use ? How many feeds you have ?

due to this, i´m lokking for an alternative solution.
but rss hub is really nice indeed.
i like the keyword-option a lot.
my content:
47 feeds
4 of it getting a podcast update (last 10) everytime i connect to the pc.
it would be really nice, to get it working without the known issues.
Yomomedia is really a great application !
I advice you to try it !

Hi,
I spent the last three hours looking for a solution here and via Google, so I would appreciate some input from you guys, even though there are already some threads about this:
I'm new at the whole smartphone-business, I really impressed by the Opera browser and it's full screen functionality, so I am looking for a similar solution to read my PDFs (books, scripts, etc.).
Here is what I have tried based on xda-developers:
Adobe Reader LE: No full screen (I hear there is a possibility to enable this but I could not find a setting/registry entry that works)
PocketXpdf: Slow, also I can't exit full screen.
Foxit Reader 2.0: 20$, no zooming option without side borders
With Adobe and Foxit on the Windows Desktop, one can zoom PDFs so that the text goes to the edge of the screen (instead of showing the borders on the side), and I wish there was a solution to do this with WM as well.
I would be willing to convert my PDFs to another format if that would make things more comfortable.
Here is what I want:
- Full screen reading with minimal Interface
- Jump to a certain page (so a pure HTML-file wouldn't really work, I presume)
I would appreciate any help you guys could give me!
Thanks in advance!
What device are you using?
if you are using an HTC with sense 2.5.2011 or better I would suggest to use the HTC eBook reader.
look for the stand alone cab.
alternativelly you can look for "freda" ebook reader.
Enjoy reading
I use Freda and Mobpocketreader.
Thanks for replying, guys!

According to the "Software information", I have Manila version 2.5.20191914.0. Do I understand this correctly that "Manila" is the codeword for "Sense"?
Also, is this the CAB you meant:

I'll look into that as well. I figure I'm going to try them all.
Good threat!
Could you please keep us informed about your experience with the other readers. It is very interssting for me too.
Yes Manila is Sense
Why not try FB2 format ? AlReader is the best reader in this format for WM. It also reads a variety of other formats (txt, doc, rtf, Palm's pdb, it can read these files compressed in zip or rar (v2) archives). There's also a desktop version. Plus, online PDF to FB2 converter here:
http://ebook.online-convert.com/convert-to-fb2
FB2 is superior to PDF especially on mobile (faster, uses less memory, many extra features), and AlReader is probably the best reader I've ever used.
My 2 cents
I have to agree with that. Allreader is fantastic. It reads a ton of formats, it opens instantly, and has some great features. It doesn't read the epub, but other than that its perfect. I installed the standalone version of the HTC Reader for epubs, and those two readers, for me, are everything I need. Your milage may vary, of course...

Alreader, one and only(it nicely reads html ebooks).
Advice: skip PDF files, it has no real use for real reading on PDA devices(i know, you can read them, but it is pure nonsense.
Hi all.
Answers here are all from 2010, so starting a new thread.
I am an HTC Desire user myself, so I have no issue with PDF's, but my father-in-law is a HD2 user and refuses to flash Android on his phone. As of late however, he is receiving more and more PDF files that wont open and give out some sorrt of "security" error. I am guessing his Adobe LE is out of date, but the best I could find was a version form 2009, same version as he already has installed.
My question: isn't there any updated PDF reader out there that will read most new files? Seems kind of odd that there aren't any updated PDF readers for WinMo being that it is still a major player in the Professional market.
Help appreciated!
Finding it hard to believe that after a day of Googling I still haven't found an alternative.
I know some of them can end up quite big (lots of pictures/ads) but has anybody came across one that handles it ok? At the moment, when zooming about I get lots of problems (for example, pinch to zoom takes a while to re-render the font)
Or, should I put my magazine/pdfs through a program to a format that works well with android?

Thanks for the suggestions (also went through the post your top 3 apps post), never heard of perfect viewer before...works the best for me. Changed a few setings and its perfect, reading the 100mb pdf files works great. Cheers man
Hallo everyone
I'm looking for a good PDF reader app that allows me to open multiple PDF files at the same times and let me switch between them easily . Any suggestion? Thank you.
