There are some out there that will do this, but it's a multi-step process...there is not direct PDF-to-Handstory method available at the moment. But before I mention the process for the PDF-to-HTML-to-HandStory conversion, you may want to consider getting Adobe's free Acrobat Reader for Palm and simple convert the PDFs for the that reader program on your PDF. They don't read directly, and it's still a conversion that isn't perfect, but it's perhaps simplier.

The only conversion method I'm aware of (which I haven't tried) is to use one of the myriad of PDF-to-HTML conversion programs available, then after conversion find the html file in File Manager, select it, then right click and choose "Clip to Palm." This will convert the html file to HandStory, and set it for hotsync. I do this with html files all the time, but haven't tried working from a PDF through HandStory format with this method.
There's a thread currently running here in the forum on PDF-to-HTML converters, and you might want to try this method with one of those converters:

Again, I haven't tried this myself, but it's how it's "supposed" to work! Will add it to my list and try to do a review of the available PDF-to-HTML converters speficially for eventual conversion into HandStory.
If you try the PDF-to-HTML-then-right-click method, please let us know here how well it worked (or didn't work).
Cheers,
