In Desperate need of a PDF Reader for a Jornada 720

Hi Everyone

I have only recently obtained my first handheld, Jornada 720. I love it. Originally I wanted a Mobilepro 900 but they are few and far between here in England, but I am overjoyed with my little HP friend.

I am trying hard and quick to get as much info as possible so I can get the most out of my handheld, before going on holiday to Turkey in a few weeks.

Here is were I need some help. I teach English as a Foreign language and more than half of my documents are in PDF. I am struggling to find compatible software so I can view my docs on my Jornada. I have tried to download Adobe 1.0, from this site. When I got it on my PC, running XP, it was Adobe 4.0. I have emailed the site and queried the mix-up but have not yet had a reply.

I get confused as to what software is actually compatible with the Jornada 720.

Can anyone lead me in the right direction for a free download of a PDF Reader for my Jornada 720.

Thanks for any help.

I also recently obtaind a Jornada 720 and I know it's hard to find the right software.

There are several PDF readers out there you can use. On this site is a download section where you can download Acrobat reader 1 & 2. Both work fine but I understand you have some difficulty using them?
The version number is not the same as the PC version. Version 2 is the latest PDF viewer for mobile devices.

There is also a program called Primer PDF Viewer 3.1 - not that fast in displaying pages - but the quality is very good. But it's a bit difficult to find!

I'm not really an HPC expert - but these programs work for me

Thanks Frisser

I am trying again to download it from HPCFactor. I have now got it into my Winzip. Could you or anyone clarify what I do next? Maybe I have made a mistake previously and that's why it wouldn't work.

- Unzip it to your Storage Card.
- Open Windows Explorer and navigate to 'Storage Card/Adobe/Acrobat 2.0/Reader/AcroRd32.exe'
- With 'File -> Send To ->Desktop as Shortcut' you make a shortcut on your desktop

Not bad for someone who is just using it's HPC for a week! Right?

I'm impressed !!

One caveat: when you try to open the "Acrobat 2.0" folder, it will ask you what program you want to open it with. (Windows CE doesn't recognize the difference between a decimal point and the dot before a file extension in a file/folder name, so it thinks ".0" is a file extension for a special application.) Workaround: rename the folder to just "Acrobat" or "Acrobat 2" before tapping on it to open it.

Finally, I'v done it. Thanks Frisser, and John the word "Save" from you was a great help as all this time I had been opening it in Winzip and just didn't know what to do with all the files.

Thanks, you guys came to the rescue!

I don´t have the .exe file. Can you please send me the hole file.

Download it from the Downloads section of HPC:Factor..
