Palm PDF viewers?

Daft Willie · 05-19-2006, 09:13 PM

Heya -- been a lurker for a bit, but this is my first post. I just graduated, and I'm sad that I can't have my entire library of books and papers at home and at work. I have a lot of papers in PDF form, and I've heard a lot of people vote that PDF is the most annoying format for reading. And some of my papers are old graphic-not-text PDFs, which are probably even more annoying.

Would anyone mind sharing a screenshot of a PDF in your favorite viewer? Most of my papers are two-column format, so that should help for the Palm TX form factor I'm thinking of buying. (Here's a good example -- Lamport's cool Time, Clocks paper: http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~bart/739/papers/clocks.pdf )

Thanks, everybody.

We've covered the pdf options before, but it's probably time for another summary. Watch the front page for one today.

As far as specific documents, people might be able to give you tips, but the best thing to do is to give the programs a try on your specific document.

Thanks...I looked farther back and saw the comparisons of the PDF viewers, but I didn't see a screenshot...so I just grabbed a Palm anyway. Thanks all, and hopefully I'll be posting (intelligently?) with y'all.
