Hi All:

Just wondering if anyone else is tired of images being resized during reflows in adobe reader (I'm using 2.0 on a DELL Axim x51 running WM 5). Images resized with reflow end up too small to view. Has anyone come up with a reader that reflows text but has an option to leave images alone?

Thanks.

Actually, I think maybe the best solution for reflowed pdfs on a handheld may be to use reduced size images that expand to a scrollable/draggable full size image when tapped.

In a way, you can consider yourself lucky that you have images at all... I think some programs don't even show them when you reflow a pdf document.

But there are options available in adobe reader if I remember correctly during the conversion step... at least in the last PalmOS version I tried. Is there maybe one option in there for image handling that could help?

Bob:

Thanks for the quick reply. The Adobe Reader for PalmOS actually does what you detail below, expanding images when you tap them. I would actually prefer to have the text reflow and the images remain full size and allow me to scroll around the images as I come to them.

I don't see any conversion options for Adobe Reader 2.0 for Pocket PC. Looks like the only way to get at anything resembling an option is in the ActiveSync options, which don't expose pdf conversion options. If anyone knows otherwise, please let me know.

Thanks.
