[EDIT Nov 18th: I posted a better 0.3 version]
Ok, I changed sh files a bit, now 0.2 version.
made changes:
  • First you choose which firmware you have by clicking on I_have_270.sh or I_have_271.sh, then the needed sh-files get copied.
  • you can install with install_ipdf.sh
  • you can deinstall with deinstall_ipdf.sh
  • The new thing is, only one is visible, because after running one sh, it gets removed, only the other one is clickable; no confusion anymore I hope.

precautions when you update from version 0.1 to 0.2 or change ipdf version [version 4 & 5 are attached]
  • Please delete the old pdfviewers directionary of the previous pdfviewers.zip, then extract choosed zip file.
  • STICKY: If scotty's pdf viewer is still installed, first run deinstall_ipdf.sh, to get back iRex's viewer, then run install_ipdf.sh to install the ipdf version which is included in zip file

What do I have to do?
[1] Download the zipfile you want.
[2] Connect iLiad with USB cable.
[3] Extract content of choosed zip-file to the newspapers folder of iLiad's USB drive.
[4] Disconnet iLiad USB cable ["Connected to PC..." logo is gone]. You can use the iLiad again.
[5] Press iLiad's "news" button.
[6] Click on directory "pdfviewers".
[7] Choose I_have_271.sh if you have firmware 2.7.1.
[8] Click on install_ipdf.sh.
[9] Green Lamp blinks. It only takes few seconds. Blinking stops. Screen get's refreshed. This it was. [no reboot needed]

I found ipdf ver 4.

Q for 0.3: Is the above metioned STICKY situation ok?
If not the back-up routine of /usr/bin/ipdf will be changed.

good to know: zooming & panning isn't correctly working
