Has anyone tried Repligo Viewer on a Netbook Pro. Does it work? Does it work fullscreen?

I am getting one next week to replace my IPAQ, and am just trying to work out what software will work before it arrives. I have already purchased platform upgrades for Textmaker and Planmaker and I want to know what else I can use.

Anyone have any lists of software that people have tried and got to work?

Well, if you already have made plans for TextMaker and PlanMaker, that eliminates the need for viewers for at least to document types. I use ANSYR Primer for PDF, I used CNetX for PowerPoint, and I use Resco PhotoViewer for images and minor editing - I use Conduits PocketArtist for more serious picture editing.

Personally, I never liked viewers because they're too limited - that's all they are, viewers. I'm not in CE 4.x.net, by the way, I'm still on the HPC2000 platform - NEC MobilePro 900. But I think my comments are pertinent nevertheless. HTH.

I can tell you that it doesn't work with my 900C. The cab file installs easily enough, but when I try to run the program it errors out. Checking it with Executability Check shows that it has a lot of MFCCE300.DLL calls not supported by the HPC version.

But I don't even know what type of viewer it is....

Drat.

I use repligo for reading all of my converted pdf's cos Acrobat Reader on the pocket pc was so poor.

Now it looks like I am going to have to fork out $70 for a new PDF reader, although that Primer software looks very good.

I am pleased to hear that Conduits Pocket Artists works okay, which I also believe Pocket Slides does as well, so I am sorted in that respect.

Looking forward to getting my netbook.

While I am on, anyone now of any programming languages with a CE IDE as well, I know of NS Basic which allows you to create programs on the Netbook itself, are there any others.

Conduits' PocketSlides worked well on my MobilePro 900 but I had considerable difficulty in VGA-out mode. I found the conversion to cpt format excruciatingly slow and adding transition effects to a large, graphic-intensive, presentation brought the presentation to a crawl. I'm told that most of these issues will be addressed in the next release, and will sure be looking forward to it, because it is indeed a very robust application, as good as it gets when it comes to a PPT subsitute.

In the interim, I'm using CNetX PocketSlideShow - the conversion process is a lot quicker and VGA-out output is perfect - except for transition effects - they're simply not carried over in VGA-out mode. Even though the transition effects appear on the HPC screen, nothing appears on the projected image. Admittedly, with CNetX PocketSlideShow, you can't add slides or do a complete presentation on the fly as you can with Conduits Pocket Slides. But I found that CNetX PocketSlideShow, used in combination with a small (freeware) applet called Pocket PowerPoint Editor from MinhoSoft does the job quite well for me, as long as the additions are simple - I use the MS Pocket PPT to show those additional slides. Not a perfect world, but it's a work around that has worked for me when in transit between two venues. Incidentally, I tried many times to get an answer from the developer about the transition issue in VGA-out mode and never got an answer, not even an acknowledgement.

HTH, good luck in your selection.
