Sort of need this to work ASAP, but if anyone has any experience on getting PDFs onto my handspring I would appreciate some help.

I got the acrobat reader for palm os thing and installed it on my palm, my problem is that I can only send certain (tagged I guess) pdfs to the palm and the pdfs I want on it the program does not allow me to transfer. In the manual adobe says that the program can add tags to any pdf but I do not see this. Help!! I need these pdfs on my palm asap (or end up printing 200 pages... grr)

I would check out Documents to Go by Dataviz. That and Adobe's program are the only ones that I know of.

Good luck.

There is a 'make accessible' plug-in for Acrobat 5 as free download from adobe.com that can turn pdf files into tagged pdf files that can reflow on palm pilots.

Problem is that this plug-in is Windows only. I think there might be an online-service to get pdf files converted if you're on Mac.

I personally use Acrobat 5 with this plug-in on VPC to 'tag' any pdfs that I need.

Hel.

:/

Figured it out, pretty stupid really. All I had to do was open the pdf in Acrobat, resave the file from Acrobat, and worked.

Mmm.. That doesn't automatically produce tagged pdf files, but if it solved the problem for you, excellent!

The last time I tried Palm Acrobat Reader, it was so heavily tied to OS 9 that I couldn't even start to use even pieces of it under OS X. Has this improved any?
