Adobe Reader 2.0

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.pocketpc (More info?)

The way I read the adobe site is that it will ONLY run on WM2k3SE (in
addition to PPC2k2). Now whether this is because they only tested it on
SE but it will run on WM2k3 I dont know.

I guess the only way to know is to just download it and see :-) Im doing
that right now. Thanks for pointing out its existence

It works fine on my hx4705, however it does not "support" vga. It's
text is displayed in qvga (with pixel doubling). It does work well with
se_vga however, and looks gorgeous that way. Hopefully they'll
release a "2.1" version with real vga support.

That was no problem here too. I just started the install as usual and when
the install utility asked if I wanted it installed in its default directory
I answered "no" and redirected it to the SD-card. It still sits there,
ready to jump into action whenever I want it to.

Mm, seeing all the positive comments here I thought I'd try installing
Reader 2.0 on my iPAQ 2210 .

Installation refused to complete as I already had Reader 1.0 installed -
fair comment I thought, so uninstalled reader 1.0 from the pda. Installation
then terminated.

Ran the install again and software refused to install - suggesting that the
uninstall was not complete, although nothing remains on the pda!

Anyone care to offer some advice here?

I had a similar problem. I uninstalled Reader 1.0 from my PDA first, then
from my PC and got the error message, when I tried to install Reader 2.0,
that Reader 1.0 was still installed. I tried different things then finally
re-installed Reader 1.0, and then un-installed it - but this time I used my
PC's Add/Remove programs. That left 4 folders on the PDA that were empty
and had to be manually deleted using File Explorer. I then soft re-set and
installed Reader 2.0 without a hitch. By the way, I installed it to my SD
card and it works fine from there.

Has anyone managed to get DRM ebooks onto their Pocket PC?

There is a procedure in the pocket manual of reader, but I didn't understand
it - and the instructions don't seem to correspond with the latest version
of acrobat..For example on p.15 is says: "In Adobe Reader, choose File >
Digital Editions > Authorize Devices" I don't have this menu on the desktop
version

I have a couple of pdf ebooks which I'm eager to get on my pocket pc - any
help appreciated.

thanks

Elijah
