English for Macintosh — 9MB
English for Windows — 8.4MB

Not sure what's new - I have never used Adobe Reader for Palm myself.

There isn't any version information with the software, though it does have a DRM feature which requires online activation - will post more if anything shows up when I use it.
Important note - make sure to install previous versions of this software before upgrading. I didn't and it locked up my Acrobat Reader so that I had to uninstall/reinstall it as well as the desktop side of the Palm app.

Okay, I followed your advice. It appears that Acrobat Reader for Palm OS v 3.0 for the Mac OS X (at least) is an all-in-one package: installer/app for both the handheld and the desktop. It even has the user manual integrated. My installation went without a hitch. Thanks.

What I'm less certain of is whether I can now throw away the version 2 folder. Did you throw your previous version away after you completed your install?

Do you know if there's a "SendtoPalm" plug-in for Acrobat Reader now that the Reader for Palm OS is in version 3? On my Mac, the version 2 plug-in NEVER worked. When I tried to send an open pdf to my Palm I always got an error message saying the plug-in appears to be corrupted. Thanks.

The plugin is there, but I haven't tested it yet; actually it was the plugin that was causing the problems that forced me to reinstall - a version conflict I guess.
As above, I'll try to test a few things and post back

The Acrobat Reader 3.0 for palm works fairly well. I had a couple of e-books that I had on my computer and used the desktop to convert it to pdf for my T/T. The only drawback to the software so far is the lack of a auto-scroll feature. Also the five way Nav also gets confused on ocassion but a touch of the screen usually straightens things out.

Yippie! I happen to be reading a Kurt Vonnegut book that has color drawings in it, and was bummed that I couldn't see them in color. Maybe I'll also try out some of my vacation photos with the Photoshop feature.

Agreed: the lack of an auto-scroll feature is something that Adobe needs to address. It has always struck me as totally illogical that they utilize it. Oh well.

Thanks for the heads up Alex!

Did you read Cat's Cradle? My personal favorite

Of course! I love Vonnegut. He's hilarious.

Is that the one with Ice-9?
It's been since forever, but I still love that concept of...Ice-9.
