not sure if its what your asking, but just go to the acrobat website
they have a palm acrobat reader
and they have an osx->palm converter
and you can adjust the hi-res stuff yourself

You can get the Adobe Acrobat Reader for Palm OS HERE .

And BTW, any .pdf files you have can be cross-read by your Palm and your Mac.

An analogy: It's sad that we embrace Powerpoint (and now Keynote, an abomination of a program whose very purpose is inimical to the "idea" of Mac), and then this:

We seek to use .pdf on a Palm (maybe 2" square screen) . . .

The great thing about .pdf is the ability to preserve data in visually meaningful manner, to allow meaningful and accurate reproduction of data without losing clarity, accuracy, etc.

Think of this: an Acrobat-based print, could have thousands of letters, numbers, etc., all readable by the "audience" from a single sheet of paper. Now, imagine a Powerpoint screen: maybe a few elements, if you're lucky 50 (and they would be cluttered and full of goofy bullets and all pronouns would be without referents). Bare with this train: think in terms of what is visible on a sheet of paper, and compare it to the amount of information in a single Powerpoint slide. How many slides to equal that data?

The point of this analogy is this: print the .pdf and carry it in your pocket. There is no way any PDA can actually present data in a fashion which approximates the data in the original file. Color, pixels, etc. of the PDa tend to be meaningless. Cut and paste if you need certain sentences, paragraphs, etc. Type even.

And, I'm someone who actually wasted there time with this crap as well. I installed a .pdf reader, and moved the screen around, dealt with changed fonts, lack of graphics, etc. What a joke, and what an example of me working for the technology, rather than technology working for me.

i dont know if i had to do this, but the converter could be default to open in classic

get info on it and see if there is a checkbox for it
and uncheck it
