pdfviewer for 301?
(I have installed PB firmware on my Netronix clone device.)
I am reading around here about an app called pdfviewer. I have modified extensions.cfg file so as to open pdfviewer, but it says "can't launch app". Any help is appreciated. |

Have you tried without modified extensions.cfg?
pdfviewer was a standard app and selectable via "open with" function from library. Is your line in extensions.cfg correct? should look like this: "pdf:@PDF_file:1: pdfviewer.app,AdobeViewer.app:ICON_PDF" (please remove the blank between : and pdfviewer... , but it shows a smiley without the blank ) |

Does pdfviewer come with firmware like fbreader? (PB 301)
My file is like this: Code:

If pdfviewer is installed can be easily checked by removing (or renaming) extensions.cfg and then opening a pdf via -> library -> select pdf -> long press OK -> open with and see if it offers more than only AdobeViewer. BTW: I'm not sure CR3 is able to open pdf files, so don't wonder if it doesn't work |

According to your extension.cfg pdfviewer is your default pdf viewer and should open every pdf file automatically.
An unrelated question: Are you sure that CoolReader is able to read soo many file formats? |

Forkosigan promised to publish a single pdfviewer here that you could load into /system/bin but I have not been able to find such a post here. Maybe he never did. I don't know if it helps you: in this thread in the German Pocketbook forum https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=114010 the missing of the pdfviewer is discussed, maybe posts nr. 19 and 20 will help you (in 19, Forkosigan admits that pdfviewer has been deleted from the firmware, in 20 there are two links to firmware 15.2 that obviously still had the pdfviewer). Please ask us, if you need more help or a concise translation! |

Anyways, I just successfully downgraded my firmware to 15.2 from firmware available at: http://www.pocketbook-int.com/us/node/907 Direct link I can use pdfviewer now. pdfviewer crops margins nicely when Fit Page Width option in chosen in zoom. Adobe viewer can't do so successfully. It feels a little faster also. Thanks Billi. Also, if someone comes across ".app" for it, please post here on MR for others.
