Reader for Palm OS 3.05 and Vista

I'm trying to install the programme to Vista, but the installer
'aborts' after copying files. I find the processes running in my
task manager, but there's no programme running in the Applications
section. It never installs anything.
Has anyone else had this problem, and if so, how did they work
around it-and get the bloody thing to install?
I'd really like to be able to read my e-books on my Palm T/X and
synch them from my new PC, which uses Windows Vista with all the
most recent patches.
Any advice would be most welcome.
Kind regards,
Niniri

I used to checkout ebooks books from my old library to read on my Palm, but after I moved I found that my new library didn't offer them yet. Well, my library finally started making Adobe ebooks available for checkout, and I ran into this same problem. The instructions on the library website helped me fix it though http://overdrive.chipublib.org/F15652B9-E6EE-47B0-8CD5-179ACD3CB69D/10/305/en/Help-Reader -Format50.htm.
It explains that you can't transfer files to a PDA with Adobe Reader 8, so you have to uninstall version 8 & then install version 7 instead.
Here's some of the information they have on the site: "If you use Adobe Reader to transfer Adobe eBooks to your PDA, or if you use downloaded Adobe eBooks on multiple computers, it is recommended that you not install Adobe Reader 8 with ADE. Adobe Reader 8 with Adobe Digital Editions do not currently support transfer to PDAs or Named Activation, the process that allows the sharing of eBooks between multiple computers.
Note that Adobe Reader 6 or 7 may check for updates and download Adobe Reader 8 automatically depending on your current settings....You have to turn off automatic updates, so this doesn't happen.
Click here, or visit http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2_allversions.html, to go to the Adobe Reader download page.
The 'Download new and previous versions of Adobe Reader' screen is displayed.
Complete 'Step 1 of 2' by selecting your 'Operating System', 'Version', and 'Language' from the dropdown menus. If you have Windows Vista, select 'Windows XP SP2' as your Operating System."
I did what they recommended & so far everything is working fine. I did get a message saying that version 7 has a known compatability issue with Vista, but like I said it's working so far.

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.

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?

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.

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.

Acrobat won't start after Reader for Palm OS

That's basically the problem. I can't open any PDF files since I got Adobe Reader for my new Treo running the Palm OS. It's ver 3.05, Build20030829. Should I uninstall Reader, or is there something I'm missing?

I have Acrobat 7.09 Professional. When I try to launch, I immediately get a message box that says:
"The application Acrobat quit unexpectedly.
Mac OS X and other application are not affected.
Click Reopen to open the application again. Click Report
to see more details or send a report to Apple.
{Three Buttons} Close Report... Reopen"
I have clicked them all, sent a report to Apple, tried to reopen. The same thing happens whether I open Acrobat directly, thru the dock or opening a PDF.
I'm a designer trying to get stuff done, and my frustration level is rising.

Downloading Adobe Reader for Windows should be simple and it's not. I'm surprised and frustrated!

Can someone tell me which link on the download site I should use? All I want is the free reader for Windows 8.1.
Can't you do a better job on this?

PDF Reader for Palm OS - Hebrew Language Support

I recently discovered that Adobe has a PDF reader the Palm.
I have PDF files in Hebrew. When I try transferring them to the Palm with
the Adobe desktop software, all I see on the Palm is dots, no words. Does
anyone know of a way to read these Hebrew files?

I have Acrobat 7.09 Professional. When I try to launch, I immediately get a message box that says:
"The application Acrobat quit unexpectedly.
Mac OS X and other application are not affected.
Click Reopen to open the application again. Click Report
to see more details or send a report to Apple.
{Three Buttons} Close Report... Reopen"
I have clicked them all, sent a report to Apple, tried to reopen. The same thing happens whether I open Acrobat directly, thru the dock or opening a PDF.
