Adobe for Palm

I installed adobe reader on my palm lifedrive, and I can read ebooks in PDF now. Because the PDF is DRM protected, I had to go through using Adobe 7.0 on my desktop, go to digital editions, send to mobile,
which then goes through steps to "prepare" the document for the palm. Then on the next hotsync, the doc is on the palm. Two problems. The screen always shows the keyboard, so the text only takes
up about half the page instead of the full page. I can live with that. Other problem, some pages have a word to two missing at the bottom of the page. The words are on my desktop version of the document so I know
that they exist. Has anyone found a way to overcome this?

Most of us gave up on Adobe a long time ago in favor of the freeware "PalmPDF".
No conversion needed, just load a pdf file on your SD card using a cheap USB card reader, or one you have in your laptop or printer.

Newer versions of Documents To Go can read PDF files too.

Can't open pdf attachment on Palm TX with Adobe For Palm download

I downloaded Adobe for Palm OS (v. 3.0) to open email pdf attachments, but am getting error message: Attachment (not supported in this version) winmail.dat
So can not open any pdf attachments.
Tried getting mail via VersaMail and via m.comcast.net - same problem.
Using Vista, Palm TX
Thanks

Adobe for Palm is an ancient program that cannot read raw .pdf files. It only works with a desktop component that converts pdf files that the old adobe program can read on a Palm.
Look at the free "PalmPDF" at freewarepalm.com. It can read pdf files by itself.
(I'd also suggest you delete Adobe from your Palm as it's caused a lot of problems for many users)

Installing Adobe Reader for Palm on Vista

I run as a standard account on Vista Ultimate. The installer needs admin privileges so that it can update c:\Program Files. As a result, the installer ran under my administrative account. When it shut down, updated the Hotsync conduit and restarted Hotsync, Hotsync was running under my admin account. This means that all Hotsync data ended up in the wrong user directory structure. Also, the conduit was looking in the wrong place for PDFs to be uploaded to the Palm. Restarting Hotsync under my standard account did not work - the Adobe Reader conduit did not show up in my Hotsync settings.
The solution was to change my standard account to have administrative privileges. I also installed Adobe Reader for Palm to a different directory, rather than under c:\Program Files - I am not sure this is required but has been recommended for other applications that are not Vista-compliant. The Hotsync conduits were properly updated this time but would not automatically restart - a manual restart was successful. I was then successfully able to sync PDFs.

Adobe reader for palm issue

I want to be able to read eBooks on my
Palm Tungsten T5 running Palm OS Garnet v 5.4.5
Palm Desktop 4.2.1 on Mac G5 OS 10.3.9
also using iSync 1.5
I've installed Adobe reader for Palm OS 3.05 on my Mac,
and it's installed fine on my Palm T5.
But, I've used the Adobe reader for Palm application on the Mac to add files to be transfered to the palm.
The application asks me to press the HotSync button, which I do. The Palm carrys out the HotSync,
but the pdf file is not transfered to the Palm.
What could be going wrong?
I've read on a previous thread
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1404460&#1404460
that the problem might be caused by iSync,
and that I need to transfer the AcroConduit from Disabled Conduits to Conduits.
But there is no AcroConduit in either folder on my Mac...
Is there another reader I could use to read eBooks on my Palm?
G5 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

This should work without a hitch, but only if the AcroConduit is present in your active Conduits folder, here:
Macintosh HD:Library:Application Support:Palm HotSync
If you cannot find it on your machine, send a message to the address listed in my public profile, and I will reply with a copy of the AcroConduit which you can drag into your active Conduits folder.
You could also go here to once again download, then install, the Adobe Reader for Palm OS package:

Need help finding the desktop applc of Adobe Reader for Palm OS

Either I'm going blind, or Adobe just failed to include a download link for that Adobe Reader desktop application that takes care of converting regular PDF files to PDB files. I
Here is Adobe Reader for Palm OS page, there you'll find a link to download a Free AR for the Palm OS, which installs a PRC file in your Palm, but there is no mention of its counter part application for the desktop
Thanks in advance guys,

Thanks for your replies guys
WN, thanks for the suggestion. I had just tried it actually. And it's a great alternative. But after using the other one, I can't help but notice how slow it is in my Palm TX. I think I would prefer to get the benefit of compressing/converting the files to PDBs. But no one seems to know where to get that application. I checked in my TX CD and I didn't find it.
If your TX installation CD does not "auto-run" and present you with a menu to install additional software (including Adobe Reader for Palm), you can find it on the disc using Windows Explorer at:
Palm CD > Int_English > Essential_software > Adobe Reader for Palm
In that folder is the installation (.exe) file which you run on your desktop. It installs the desktop app, and the .prc file gets installed to the quick installer during the process.
FYI...this software is slow and clunky on the handheld. The conversion process is imperfect, and particularly with files which I have produced myself using Acrobat Distiller (the part of Adobe Acrobat which lets you "print" to the distiller to create a .pdf file from anything), it sometimes doesn't even work.
The best .pdf viewer I have used on my handhelds is actually the upgraded version of Documents To Go, which handles native .pdf files pretty well. No conversion needed, just drop the files into your SD card, or Hotsync with Documents To Go desktop.

Isync conduit/adobe reader for palm issue

I just got a Tunsten E2 for Christmas. I'm somewhat new to this PDA world, so perhaps I'm missing something obvious. I installed the software, installed Adobe Reader for Palm OS and performed a HotSync. I then tried importing a PDF file to my handheld with no trouble. Then I saw via the Palm website that I could sync using isync via the isync conduit 1.2 from apple. So I downloaded that and followed the instructions to install it. Now my addresses and calendars sync flawlessly, but I can't seem to get Adobe Reader for Palm to transfer any more PDF files.
Has the isync conduit disabled a conduit for Adobe? Is there any way to fix this? Any help would be much appreciated.
Thank you,
J
P.S. I'm using Hotsync manager 3.2.1 and Palm Desktop 4.2.1

Michael,
I've figured out what the problem is. When you install the isync conduit it removes any conduits that it feels it conflicts with. i.e. contacts, calendars, to do lists etc. It also, for some reason, removed the Adobe conduit named AcroConduit. I think this is a glitch in the isync conduit. Thankfully, the conflicting conduits that isync removes aren't deleted. They are simply put into a folder named "disabled conduits" located in the main "library" folder->"Application Support" -> "Palm HotSync", right next to the "Conduits" folder. So I just dragged the AcroConduit back to the "Conduits" folder and configured the conduit in HotSync Manager and, viola, all seems to be working fine... sort of.
It seems that Apple's Address Book and iCal don't exactly sync picture perfect on the palm pilot. email addresses where phone numbers should be, some addresses not showing up at all, calendars not showing up in the correct headings such as personal, business, etc. Apple and Palm could do better.

Adobe Reader for Palm OS won't install

When i try to install Adobe Reader for Palm OS from the disk that came with my new Palm T/X (or from the Adobe website) it acts like it's doing something but never actually installs. Help!!!

The Adobe Reader 305 for PalmOS setup file contains an older version of InstallShield's SETUP.EXE. For several reasons this setup version might hang without showing any GUI:
a. A running background application prevents the setup from continuing.
b. The TEMP-folder contains a lot of files and/or subdirectories.
ad a: Use the Windows Task manager to check how many background programs are running. You can temporarily prevent most startup-programs from running by holding both shift-keys immediately after logging into Windows XP.
ad b: Delete the files and folders from your TEMP folder(s). To locate your personal TEMP folder: Use the windows start menu -> click on: Run.. -> Enter: %TEMP% and press enter. Also check the %WINDIR%\TEMP folder. Some files might be in use during deletion, this can be ignored safely.
Reboot the computer after cleaning the TEMP folder(s), then try again running the setup program.

Adobe Acrobat Reader 3.05 for Palm OS

I'm attempting to install Adobe Acrobat Reader 3.05 for Palm OS on Microsoft Vista. I have already installed Palm Desktop for Windows 6.2. However, I consistently receive an error dialog box that says I must install Palm Desktop 4.0 or later; after which the install terminates. I'm using a Palm T|X device. I've updated all other software as is available on the Palm support site. Does anyone have a solution for me. Is there a way to extract the .prc from the Adobe installation file? Do to my running Vista, I cannot install an older version of Palm Desktop. Any ideas?

If anyone ever figures out to maximize the screen on the T/X, please email me. I don't have a lot of time to keep checking back to this forum. I will send a check for $20 to your favorite charity to anyone who figures this out and sends me an email to me at [email protected]

Adobe flash player 10.1 for Palm Pre mobile

Hi
Can anyone please tell me when the flash player is available in the UK for the Palm Pre mobile
thanks

It seems any post or forum that Adobe doesn't like gets "frozen" out when discussing Flash for the Palm Pre. The missing Palm Pre Flash and the "shift of blame" by Adobe to Palm has been a common theme (see http://forums.adobe.com/message/2748422#2748422 as an example) is becoming tiresome.
Yet if you ask Palm they tell you its nothing to do with them, why would it be? That is such a silly dead-end statement that I suspect Adobe are far to embarrassed by what's actually happened. If they want to prove me wrong then how about they release the flash to me rather than Palm? LOL now, there's a novel idea!
I suspect this has something to do the popular rise of Android, an operating system for mobiles that was still in design when webOS for Palm Pre was already established. It appears, and no one denies, that the demo on the Palm Pre, you know the one, the one that made us all go out and get the Palm instead of the iPhone, was an iphoney.
We have been duped.
While much of the web relies on Adobe technology at the moment the end of their business cycle is in site, not just HTML 5, but sentiment in general. The lack of respect, clarity, accountability and honesty in the main to blame.

Download file for Palm/Mac reader is damaged

First of all, on the download page for the Reader for Palm OS Mac (http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2_mobile.html#palmMac), it says the file is 8.7 MB, but when the file is downloading, it says 9.4 MB, which turns out to be the actual size of the downloaded file.
Then, when I try to mount the DMG file, I get a warning that "The disk image you are opening may be damaged and could damage your system. Are you sure you want to open this disk image?" Could this be related to the disparity between stated and actual sizes of the file?
I tried downloading it several times with the same result. After a little research, I found an article on Apple's website discussing options for dealing with this particular message (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305111-en).
Mainly, it suggested converting the disk image to read/write, mounting it, and then attempting to repair it with Disk Utility. I tried this, but Disk Utility was unable to repair the mounted image. Disk Utility does report that the volume needs repair ("Volume Header needs minor repair), but on both verification and repair, it reports a "failure on exit" and fails to complete either task.
Anyone else out there have this problem, or even better, a solution?
All that said, and because I really do want to be able to read PDF files on my TT3, I went ahead and just copied the files off of the mounted disk image and got rid of the image.
The Mac desktop application that converts untagged PDF files and then transfers tagged PDF files to the Palm device seems to work just fine, and even attempt to optimize preference settings automatically by querying your device during a hot sync for display depth and screen size. The Palm OS app seems to work quite well, too.
Between them, I transferred a fairly difficult document containing lots of graphs and charts, special mathematical and chemical symbols, and even equations. And it worked VERY well, although the equations were a little difficult to read on my TT3 sometimes.
The graphs and other figures in the document were all quite readable, even though I had preferences on the desktop app set to "shrink images to screen width." It got my TT3's screen dimensions at 320x320, and there was no way I could find to get the system to take advantage of the TT3's extended screen size of 320 x 480. (if anyone has any ideas about that, I'd like to know -- I'm thinking of converting PDF to some other graphics format (using Graphic Converter's batch converter) and using a viewer for that format that can use the landscape mode to display a scrolling page display that's 480 pixels wide).
A PIECE OF MY MIND TO ADOBE:
After initially posting this, I noticed that this same problem is mentioned in an archived topic that began on May 16, 2007 and ended on August 14, 2007, so it has apparently been a problem for more than a year. However, after noting that the archived topics are "read only," I decided to go ahead and post this to keep the issue active in the hopes that someone at Adobe who might have a smidgen of concern for the users of their products might take care of it.
Adobe OWES it to its users (and its own reputation as a quality-conscious company) to correct this problem. A significant percentage of the users of the Adobe Reader are not as knowledgeable about the risks they would be taking with disregarding the warning and mounting the image anyway, or as sure of their ability to repair any system damage and recover any lost data, should damage occur. I've been using and fixing Macs since 1984, and the message scared ME a little, until I was able to find a little information about it. Could Adobe's fix be something as simple as generating and posting a new DMG file, that's NOT damaged?

I also recently tried to download Adobe Reader to my Macintosh to use on my Palm TX and got the message "The disk image you are opening may be damaged and could damage your system." This is extremely frustrating, and disappointing that the Adobe people don't seem concerned enough to fix the problem. I am not a techie, so I dare not continue.
If anybody has a solution and could explain it slowly to somebody who doesn't understand the computer world very well, I would be grateful.
Thanks,
Andrew

Acrobat Reader for Palm OS no reconoce mi Palm.

Tengo una Tungsten E, un Mac G5 con OS X 10.3.6 y el Acrobat Reader for Palm OS 3.05.
Me aparece una pantalla que me dice "Para comenzar a utilizar Reader for Palm OS, coloque el dispositivo en el soporte y pulse el botón HotSync" Lo hago pero no pasa nada (sólo se sincroniza el resto de las cosas.
Ya he instalado el visualizador de Acrobat en el Palm, he añadido un archivo para subir, y lo ha convertido al formato de Palm, pero no va.
No creo que sea problema de la Palm, pues sincroniza y hace backups del resto de las cosas, e incluso tengo intalado el "conducto" para que me funcione con iSync.
Si alguien ya ha tenido este problema y lo ha logrado solucionar, que diga cómo proceder.
Muchas gracias.
- Guillermo Velasco

Parece ser que voy a poder responderme a mí mismo... y a los que hubieran tenido mi problema...
La fuente está en el foro en inglés; el resumen sería:
En la carpeta "Libraría / Application Support / Palm HotSync / Conduits" tiene que copiarse el archivo "AcroConduit", que está en el paquete del archivo "Adobe Reader for Palm OS" (el ejecutable). Para ver su contenido, botón derecho "Ver contenido del paquete" -> "Contents / SharedSupport / Spanish / " suponiendo que lo tenéis en español...
De nada.

Uninstall reader for palm on XP

A former employee uninstalled the Palm sofware but not adobe reader for palm. It is not listed on Add Remove programs and I saw a listing that says that hotsync has to be run manually after uninstall to complete the process. I do not have hotsync.
Are there instructions somewhere to manually uninstall Adobe Reader for Palm?

PalmPDF for Palm OS 4.x

Is there something like this around? This is only for Palm OS 5.0 or greater... I know there is Adobe Reader for Palm, but the current version 3.05 that can be found when searching the web seems to be damaged (more info).

I am unaware of an earler version of PalmPDF that runs on Palm 4.x but, you could always try it on your device to see what happens.
Adobe Reader for Palm shipped on device discs as additional software. You could try to find an original disc for your device (eBay, Amazon, etc.). Or try a different source, like here. The program is sketchy to begin with, and requires a destop application to convert .pdf files for viewing with the handheld app.
The only other way I know of to view .pdf files on Palm OS is Documents To Go. I haven't searched for what version implemented .pdf viewing, or whether that version would run on an older device. Suggest you start at www.dataviz.com and root around. Since it is no longer a current offering, you might have to dig deep, if it is there at all.
Good luck.

Jre 2.2 version compatable for Palm OS

Hi, I am using Palm os device. I would like to develop a application with SOAP and other facilities which is availabale on j2me 2.2 or 2.3 version but for Palm os there is only 1.0 version of J2me is available. Please tell me where from i get MIDP 2.2 or 2.3 for Palm OS .
Please send me mail on [email protected]

Is ther a player for any of the previous versions? i think
the only Palm-based device that had a player is the Sonly Clie. If
memory serves, it wasnt the OS itself, but the hardware power (or
lack thereof) on most Palm devices. Don't know where the FlashLite
player stands in relation to Palm devices though. You might want to
post on the mobile & devices forums or try to get in touch with
Bill Perry (www.flashdevices.net) at Adobe directly.
Good luck!
