Hello,
the pre-installed pdf reader on my xda II doesn't show all pdf-files correctly, so I installed acrobat reader for ppc. Nevertheless, if I tap on a pdf-file in the file explorer or in an email, it opens the file with the other viewer. Only way is tosave the file and open it manually.
Does anybody know, how to male acrobat my default pdf-application or to uninstall the other viewer?
Kind regards
Sascha
any help ??
yah, faced the same problem too ... was wondering is there anyway to change the file association?

Hi,
I don't know of any way to chance file associations with any of the pre-loaded apps, but you can do it with Resco File Explorer. You can download a free trial version from resco-net.com - I can definately recommend this product as a permanant addition to your XDA anyway.
Codenix.
PocketTweak
You can use PocketTweak to easily change file associations.
sounds good ...!
i think it might work, but before i try, there's something in my mind .. then can the built in ppt and pdf viewer be total removed?? thanks.

Hi everyone...
Can anyone please tell me where Opera Mobile stores your favourite URL's on the device? I've been using Internet Explorer and have all my mobile favourites synced with my desktop. However, I've just purchased an HTC Touch Diamond and have started using Opera which is pre-installed. I can't find an option to import my favourites though.
I was going to move them manually, but I can't find where Opera stores them. Any help would be much appreciated, Thanks.

File can't be found?
it's an xml file and is called
opera*.adr
... unfortunately, I have no such file anywhere. I'm using Resco Explorer set to show all files. I have found an Opera9 folder in the Windows root folder, but I cannot see anything in here either.
Any further help would me much appreciated. Thank you.
... have I got you all stumped on this one?

Go to \windows\Opera9\
Look for OPERA6.adr and edit it with pword or other editor as you want. If your are using the newest version of Resco Explorer, you can view the content of each file with the context menu
... thanks my friend. I have True Text installed, so I've edited the file with that application. I'm surprised Opera hasn't got an "Import Favourites" option. Seems very strange to me?
Thanks again
A funny thing has happened with my S710. PDF files are no longer associated with the built in Adobe reader. If I look at a pdf file through the file explorer the pdf file's icon does not show as an adobe icon. Then when I try to open it an error message comes up saying:
"Can't find "<ipdf file name here>" (or one of its componants).Make sure the path and filename are correct and that all the required libraries are availible"
Although if I open Adobe first and then tell it to open the file through the explorer in Adobe, then it works fine.
This used to work fine previously and I can't think of anything I've changed or anything new I've installed since, why has the pdf file association suddenly gotten messed up? How do I fix this?
I'm using the latest official firmware off the HTC website (OS 5.2.1622 build 18128.0.4.4) and the built in Adobe Reader LE. I've never installed any other 3rd party pdf reader either.
Thanks in advance on any input.
PDF reader
Alright, no input on that. How about recommendations on a good 3rd party PDF reader then?
Any help is appreciated.
OK, get a registry editor, if you don't already have one and check the reg-key of the attached "adobe reader.reg" or import the file to the Vox's registry!
Thanks frauhottelmann, I'll check it out.
Hi to all. First of all, I've tried to search but I got to ask since I can't find this topic anywhere.
Ok. Does anybody know how I can open a file with the extension *.txt with my preferred program? When I click directly on the filename, the text is opened in Word Mobile. I would like to just click the filename and don't open my application before I can edit my file. I'm using another application that I prefer for editing my txt files. All suggestions are welcome
use total commander to associate file extensions with programs if your pref
or do it manually using a reg-editor
Thanks for the reply. But if I associate from TC, it still open with MW when I start any txt file from todayscreen, (from within PocketPlus). I suppose that using the TC only work when you open from TC? So I'll try to use a reg.edit. and see what happens. Thanks again.
you can use Schap's Advanced Configuation and change file associations..
I've tried Adv Conf 3.3, but still the Mobile Word opens my txt files
what do you use to open them? you might have specific file associations in your file browser.
what about resco explorer? it works to fix this problem in my device
I prefer the NeboPad, and the registry sais that my txt files should be opened with NeboPad. It seems that MS override this, during the copyright
this is impossible. assiciations are set via OS.. if you set a specific association in Adv Config.. it'll work for the OS unless you're using a file manager that opens using its own preferences. try another file explorer like Resco
I'm running it from Spb Pocket Plus and not from any file explorer. In the Advanced Configuration 3.3 it's stated that file with the extension of *.txt, should be opened with \Program Files\NeboPad\NeboPad.exe. But still it's opened with Mobile Word. I think I'll have to go back to Notes with the *.pwi extension. Anyway, thank's for trying.
Regards
if you use notes and it works thru Spb Pocket Plus it means that this NeboPad is the problem, not your association.

Well. I've tried a lot of editors and pad programs by this time, but every time I try to open a TXT file, it comes up in PWORD. This must be something in the OS itself I belive. Or has anyone managed it to work?
At last!
Finally I've found a program that's works. It's MobilePad (nice too).

Anybody know a free way to change file associations on MS Smartphones?
I tried using total commander but for some reason the file isn't being passed to the program (but the program opens)
Basically, I want to associate .pdf files with adobe reader LE. (Tried Foxit and it broke the association...)
The command should be
"\windows\AdobeReaderLE.exe" %1 right?
Am using a Samsung Jack...
EDIT: I solved the problem. Look at post #2.
Mods, can you please change the thread title to reflect this? Thanks...
Ok. I solved the problem.
The '%1' should be in double quotes too...
i.e. "\windows\AdobeReaderLE.exe" "%1"
may be somebody knows an app. to add easily e-books in sence reader. ideas welcome
Out of curiosity, what formats does this reader support? Not that it matters too much, I really can't see it being a patch on Allreader+ which is the best mobile ebook reader I have used bar perhaps Stanza.

ePub, the HTC reader supports the ePub format (don't know if it supports other formats as well). As of now only Freda supports this format. In addition, the HTC eReader support DRM protected ePub books (I have to test this out yet, but the device can be activated using the adobe server)
ebup and plain text both work, haven't tried anything else yet. Just have to access them via file manager, so I asecond the original question.

I second that also, but I think we just have to wait till someone is going to write a program for this. At this moment, there's a little work-around described here. This works very well, but is a bit cumbersome.
BTW, there is some interfacing possible with Adobe Digital Editions. When there is a active sync connection, one can activate the HD2 with this PC program and there is a possibility to copy books to the HD2. However the books copied to the device don't show up in the ereader tab.
On the 2.05 test rom there was a directory "Program Files/HTC Reader" in which there was a subdirectory "manifest". This name is also used by Adobe Digital Edition for its library.
(Not that this is of any use right now, but maybe someone can figure out how the HTC reader interfaces with Adobe Dig. Ed or for that matter, any other pc reader/manager)
btw http://www.epubbooks.com/books has many many free epub books.

it wont do this automagically. There's a database which holds all the books, unfortunately there's no tool available on WM to add new books.
I'll publish one soon.
EDIT: wont publish mine, as one has already been published.

So it doesn't read PDFs? Might have been worth using if it did so I'll stick to Allreader, any EPUB books I have can be easily converted to HTML.
calibre does a great job of converting to Epub
OT: Is there a way how make eReader read different character page correctly? I cannot read all Czech characters correctly, only some of them.
