Okay, so if I send a pdf from calibre to the device, and then I open the pdf directly from the device using Adobe I get a quick error message that flashes by too quickly to read, then the file opens. If I look in the properties I find that the author & title fields are in Asian characters. If I change those by typing in English then the eject the device I can suddenly see the pdfs on the reader.

I'm going to try turning automatic management back on and then editing the pdf file's properties on the reader when I have trouble opening them.
