I am looking for the ability or write on a PDF, ie. use the comment and markup tools that come with acrobat standard. I have engineering drawings emailed to me as PDFs and I have to redline them and either save them for later or send them back. I am utterly amazed that no one else seems to have this need because I can not find any program that can do this. Has anyone found an app that will let you take notes on a pdf? Had anyone found a work around (export to this format and reopen in that program ect.)?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
specs: ATT Tilt2, WM6.5, TF3D 2.1
Moved as not software release.
Willing to buy software
I am willing to pay for software if that is what is needed to get this functionality. But if it is still not possible can anyone tell me why its not possible? Am I asking this question in the wrong forum? Wrong website?

Hi,
I have searched a lot so far, but still did not find it.
Does anyone know an eBook reader that will read the book with voiceoutput? I would love to be able to drive and having the books read to me.
Thanks,
vma
I was looking into the same. There is a program out there (not free) which will do exactly what your after (can't remember the name, try Google). Only thing is I think you have to buy the books from them.
Best of luck. Paul
Yeah... I do remember a software that read's books, but it uses like compressed audio files, which you have to purchase.
I was looking for a software that would use speech syntesis and that would open plain text files.
I had a free speech syntesis program installed once and you could like copy & paste text into it's window and it would actually read the text. But tyy to do that with a whole book...
Still, I find it funny that no one did make such a program. Can it be that I am getting really weird??? :shock:
Cheers,
vma
One program was called Fonix iSpeak for Pocket PC, but good luck finding it now.

Another program is called FLITE:
http://www.viksoe.dk/code/flite.htm
Arh ha. Flite was the program I was referring to. The Fonix ispeak sound even better! Does anyone know where to get it?
Hi,
It seems more dificult than what I assumed... I tried an evaluation version of Fonix (it is a discuntinued product, I guess) and it does not suit my needs: while it does indeed read a book in text format, it will neither show the text nor does it allow to stop reading and then resuming at another time.
So I had a new idea: why not look out for tools on the PC that would convert TXT to mp3?
I looked for it and there are actually tons of tools to do that.
However, from the 5-6 tools I tried, only one was able to actually produce a usable mp3 file out of a complete book.
The file is 100MB in size and the quality is not very good (the quality of the reader, not the compression).
I will to some further testings on that, but basically I believe that we are not yet there...
Cheers,
vma
Please keep us informed on the outcome. I too am interested.
hey all
i purhcased an 02 XDA Exec for work purposes, now it does evereyhting i need it to apart from 1 thing, which was a major plus thing for me to get 1.
It has WM5 on it and using Word Mobile thats installed on it.
i need to be able to get a customer to sign a word document to say job completed etc.
i have looked at settings etc and found an option in word mobile to transcribe, now this will let me handwrite onto a word doc but it changes what i've written into text which i dont want it to do. checked settings and turned off a few things to do with transcribe, but it still converts the handwritten text to normal text.
i can open a word document on it, fill it as needed with the keyboard etc, but when it comes to get a signature off a client/customer it will not do it.
it saves me printing out sheets all the time, wasting paper, when i can just xfer the docs to my pda and do it on there and then email it when finished. much easier.
one thing i have found out recently is that the option is avaialble in pocket word for windows pocket 2003 which my freind has, he showed me that in the same options where you change between transcribe and keyboard etc, his has the extra option called "drawing", which mine doenst. so i may have to downgrade os to get this feature, i have seen sky and rac people with xda execs and they can do it, i should imagine i can too!
heeelp
You can do a mix of drawing(signature) and text in the Note application.
i can handwrite into notes ya but how do i incorporate that into a word doument?
i would rather sign on the word document itself
Well, I'm not sure why. If you read this
http://www.microsoft.com/uk/windowsmobile/articles/pocketword.mspx
The Pocket Word of WM2003 works with drawings
However, if you look at
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/help/pocketpc/unsupportedword.mspx
Word Mobile of WM5 doesn't support shapes
M$ has weird sense of logic in the 'improvements' of their products.
i think i might have to downgrade os to wm2003 so i will have pocket word, unless i can install pocketword onto wm5.
stupid how its in an earlier version and not the new one! heh
i will have a read of some more threads for downgrading
downgrading sounds difficult from what i've read,
does anyone know if WM6 supports drawing in word?
might be easier to upgrade than downgrade?

Not likely, read my other thread. O2 phones are not like others such as HP or Dell which offered upgradeable OS.
anyway, i think u can try other text editing softwares and/or different keyboard softwares. I heard Calligrapher (or something like that) offers both handwritten and keyboard entry at the same time.
Can anyone recommend a simple image viewer software for wm6? preferably as intuitive as the iphone's image viewer.
Thanks.

I second that. I've been looking everywhere. But I can't find anything that intuitive. Has anyone found any program like that?
The only thing is the Picsel Browser. But the problem with that is you can't view all the files in a folder and go to the next picture easily. But you can zoom in and move around like iPhone.
Please anyone knows one let us know.
i heard resco is the only program close enough
It is an other option I guess
and freeware
http://www.pocketpcfreeware.com/fr/index.php?soft=368
and this one too
http://www.pocketpcfreeware.com/fr/index.php?soft=877
i dont know of any picture viewer that scales and zooms like the iphone with two fingers, but i use xnview, its free, opens other picture files resco cant, etc etc.
I've been looking through this forum and google, but still haven't found anything alike...
Is there anyone that's been able to develope something like it?
Thanks!
google something call iZoom , its not available yet, but would be a nice substitute
Doesn't HTC Album work a bit like the iPhone thing? I've never tried it because it won't run on my 9502, but apparently it works on a lot of devices and its freeware. You push the image to the side for the next image, and draw a circle around a bit to zoom in and stuff. Looks really cool. Wish it ran on my device

try VITO EyePhoto.
I like it very much and it's intention is clearly to bring iPhone usage principles to WM.
yes htc album is simple and efficient. easy to use.
but you should search better and sometimes look in the dev & hack section of xda and you could find this :

Also see my s2v review.
This area looks like the best place to pose this question. I've been searching everywhere for some sort of freeware video editor similar to the SE video DJ, but have not come across ANY. Editing is a huge hobby of mine, and my device feels sort of "empty" without it. Does anyone happen to know of any good video editing software comptible with WM 6.1 (on HTC Touch Pro)? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
I've been through several programs and have yet to see something like this. Honestly, i'd be surprised to see a video editing program for Pocket PCs because it requires so much and i don't think that what we've got today is enough. If anybody has more insight on this, please correct me if i'm wrong.

Hey guys... and girls.. (hopefully we do have some here...)
I'm in search of a pdf reader/internet browser which is capable to recognize EMBEDDED PDF and either offers to download them or open it directly in browser.
To give you an insight of my motivation:
The pages of my university do not ask you to download the pdf files. It creates them JIT if you ask for e.g. your grades... and then opens the PDF Plugin in Browser to show them.. so you neither are asked to download the pdf.. nor is the end of the link .pdf
As a result my android phone (HTC Magic 32A with 2.1 Hero Rom Smoki 0.7.5) only shows a blank screen... unfortunately the *censured*Phone ( I think you know what kind of product I am talking about) has the capability to recognize and open the embedded PDF in browser.. so I always have to borrow one for short time, if I don't have a pc with me...
I hope, that somebody maybe knows a solution or can point me into the right direction or knows why it's not possible on Android...
Thx in advance..
