Ah--that's what it was! I tried to update the Adobe on my Pocket PC, but it said my older version of Windows CE was not supported. That's why I couldn't get tagging via ActiveSync.

If you do not want to install it in your machine, you can use the portable version and run it from a USB drive in any windows machine, without it installing anything.
You can get this version, and other outstanding free software from:

My previous experience trying OpenOffice was less than wonderful. But if I can open a Word doc in it and export it to tagged PDF, then I'm willing to give it a try. Heaven knows I don't like the method I'm using now.

I'll check out that portable version. Thanks!
