Can't view a pdf on my PRS-650

mazmac · 02-21-2011, 10:48 PM

I would like to read the pdfs on the following site on my Sony PRS-650: http://acma.gov.au/WEB/STANDARD/pc=PC_312356

I can open them on my computer in the Sony Library software and in Calibre, but if I try to open them on my Reader, all I see is a blank page with "Invalid Page!" written in the middle.

Can anyone help me work out what is going on?

(And, since I cannot decide whether this is a pdf problem or a Sony problem, I have posted on both boards. Apologies for cross-posting.)

OK, to follow up, it appears that the pdfs can only be viewed on a computer.

Annoying.

Seems very unlikely that I've got a solution to a tech problem, being the resident tech idiot - but have you tried Calibre ?

(Unless these PDFs are some specialized type, that isn't compatible, that is.)

I've just loaded a PDF on my PRS through Calibre easily, to my surprise, see thread ......
