Clear Vue PDF missing after bigstorage and ROM upgrade

Hi
I have succeeded done the bigstorage using WWE_1.12.00 ROM. Thanks for the posters. However I noticed the Clear Vue for PDF is missing. Word and Excell exists. Where can I find this application?
Thanks

Word & Excel are part of the OS rom. ClearVue PDF & PPT where coming on the CD I got from TMO. So check your package pls, can be that it's on the ftp as well. Otherwise gimme a signal & it will be there ...
Regards, M

Thanks oltp,
Just check the cd, it only have activesync and outlook 2002.
I guess the ClearVue is also in the old ROM (1.11.00WWE) or in one of the extended ROM Cabs. . Do you have any idea which CAB or can I rip it from the old ROM if its there?
I use one of the available BigStorage ROM (1.12.00) to upgrade from the ftp
Thanks

You can try bal666 tool to rip it from an ext-rom, easier method is to use wince cab manager. You can take a look inside each cab file from your original ext-rom. You did save it, didn't you?
Sadly I don't know by hard which cab file to look for, somehow I keep forgetting these things. & i'm posting with my magician, so can't check on the PC at the moment. Will look for you as soon as I'm able to.
Cheers, M

Found it in CV2.41.386WWE.CAB in the original extended ROM.
oh my..
thanks!

Or install adobe for PocketPC instead.

Arto.

No problem
@artosoft
ClearVue is free, or at least it came with my magician. Is Adobe 4PPC free to? & is it useful a pdf is hard to view on a PPC.
Regards, M

ClearVue is NOT free. If you don't get it together whith your device, you will have to pay for it.
The Adobe Readers for PPC are free! You can download them from Adobes home page. But the Adobe Reader for Pocket PC 2.0 needs at least round about 8MB, thats much more than ClearVue demands. But ist from Adobe, that means it can handle right all pdf documents, ClearVue fails sometimes if the documents are to complex.
Is it useful?
If you like to view pdfs on your PPC - Yes!
A pdf is hard to view on a PPC?
That depends on the document. The Adobe Reader for Pocket PC 2.0 offers a special reflow mode which is similar to the standard layout mode of the Pocket PC Internet Explorer. But reflow works only whith tagged documents. Untagged documents can be convertet to tagged ones when tranfering them via ActiveSync from Pc to PPC, but it depends on the document, whether the automatic generation of the additional tag table is usefull or failed at all. The best are documents which are createt as tagged ones by the writer. But so far only few writer remenber the people who like to read the files on a PPC...
Untagged documents are hard to view on a PPC also with the Adobe Reader you will have to scroll around a lot (except the are specially made for small displays).

Joe,
thnx i'll think about it. 8MB is not a limitation on my SD, but then it will load slow...& I'm not reading that much pdf's.
cheers, M

Offtopic, but have you guys tried Repligo? If I MUST have a document that was originally PDF, I use Repligo to shrink it down. It loads quickly and perfectly on the PDA and isn't a memory hog like Adobe.
I think the viewer is free, the converter is not, but very useful.

I have it installed on my SD and it's loading slow ... but not slower than the latest PC version! Yes, you will have to wait a few seconds, but when your PC loads it for the first time (after booting) you will have to wait for several seconds too!
Repligo?
If you like to convert everything...
I mean PDF is already a compact file format and I prefer to read documents as they are without the need to convert them before.

The best pdf reader...

Hi guys!
I just bought an HP 514 with Win mobile 6 smartphone... can you help me to find out the best pdf reader for wm6 smartphone?
Thanks!

I convert my PDFs to RepliGo
I convert all my documents and pdfs to RepliGo format. It is the easiest to use on a small screen and document compression is the best. You can print to a RepliGo document on your PC. You can also convert web pages to RepliGo format and it will auto resize large pages to fit a standard document size. It has a text search. The reader on the pda is less than 400K. The reader is free for Windows, PPC, Smartphone, Palm so if you have to share a document you can share the reader.

hard to say what is the best but there is a reader from adobe itself and i also use MobileXpdf.
Repligo has a big disadvantage.. you dont have your desktop pc with you if you get a mail with a pdf attachment

Where can I download MobileXpdf for WM 6 smartphone?
I can't find it surfing the web...

dont remember where i found it. google found it here for example:
http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/download.sourceforge.net/pub/sourceforge/m/mo/mobilexpdf/
havent checked this, if you dont trust that source give me your mail adress

gciochina, where did you release that? any pointers?

foxit reader = bet pdf reader on the market.

the projects address
you can download mobilexpdf at
http://www.mobilexpdf.blogspot.com
or by going to
http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/mobilexpdf
PS: when foxit will be better than mobilexpdf, i'll eat it! and by the way... don't you have to pay for foxit reader (mobilexpdf is free/opensource) so not the same category...

(sorry for my english) I will try mobilexpdf, (thanks for your work gciochina). I have tried Foxit and I have uninstall it 5 minutes later. I think that we dont need a pdf reader for see little parts of a document with images, etc... For that we have Adobe Reader LE or PDF to Go, or... but a reader that extracts text from pdfs for read it like .txt or .rtf, .doc, etc... and that it allows that we pruned to read pdf ebooks without any previous transformation.

A couple questions about Adobe Reader LE
1. How do I associate .pdf files to the Adobe Reader LE? The .pdf files have the default icon for unassociated files. I tried using Resco Explorer to associate them with the Reader using "Open with". But... I get an invalid path error every time I click any .pdf file.
2. I got Adobe Reader LE 2.0 from the Extras.zip from one of the 6.0 ROM, is Adobe Reader 2.5 available in the newer ROMs?
Thanks...

another vote for the latest version of mobileXpdf. I'm using it on my HP iPaq 510 and it works great...

Ok... I was testing the new Foxit pdf reader Beta, but was annoyed by the banner that reminds one to register it. I installed MobileXpdf 0.0.6.0 using the cab available at SourceForge and I like what I see. I noticed that it was a little slow. The source for the latest version 0.0.6.2 was available, but there was no cab file availble just the source. McHale, do you know where I can get a cab file for 0.0.6.2 as it "might" fix some of the performance issues I noticed.
Thanks...

I'm using 0.0.6.0. They update CONSTANTLY so 0.0.6.2 or newer should be available soon.
The reason it is slow on your HP is because is the phone itself is slow. It takes me forever to edit contacts and do other simple things...
But, slowness aside, I really like the HP 510. For someone who isn't a power user of Windows Mobile applications besides the basics, it is perfect.

MobileX is better than adobe. Thanks. But personally pdf's just plain suck period on my shadow. I installed acrobat pro just to convert pdf's to html which works much faster. Foxit in ANY shape sucks balls. (try pdf-xchange viewer)

A tip for those using adobe reader le version 2.5 to read pdf files
To make the text fit to page and great to read, try adjusting the zoom level to 100 % or 105% using the plus or minus buttons [or from the menu], next click on 'tools' [ bottom left hand corner of screen], select 'view' then select 'reflow', the result should be an improved layout of page info and text, the only thing is you will have to go thru this process everytime you open a new pdf file.

'Reflow' in Adobe reader was the clincher for me - it officially does everything I need a PDF reader to do.
Opens large files quickly
Reflow for easier on-screen reading (reading that technical manuals that I do needs some level of formatting retained)
Rotate for landscape reading
It's fast (I quickly got sick of MobileX's "Rendering page" message)
I only wish that the reflow option could be set up as a preference...
I'm chuffed that I finally found a way to carry lots of books around with me in a readable format!

Adobe Reader LE 2.5
Hi
Add another vote for Adobe Reader LE 2.5
Cheers

Adobe Reader LE 2.5 is pretty fast.
It would be even better if some one could find a way to disable the splash screen and improve loading time.

is there any pdf creator available?

Open Office
I recommend Open Office. It has all the tools you need plus the ability to export and configure in .pdf

Topaz
I think that if posted on a Topaz forum it should be a question about Topaz so I don't think that the last 2 answers are right.
I second pdf2scan wich work very well on my Topaz but it's only a picture to pdf creator. Your result is a pdf with a picture on every page, not a scanned text.

found something interesting..
FluidPDF vPrint
i tried the demo version and it works great. Let u select any document (images, text files, notes, etc...) then converts it to a pdf asking for the name of the output file.

OpenOffice Viewer

Hi. Is somewhere there an applicaton to let me see/work with OpenOffice files??

I second that question !

http://www.softmaker.de/
Softmaker could open and work with the writer format unfortunatly not yet with Calc or Impress.
I also hope that in the next Version - the new desktop Version is allready out -that they support more OO formats.
Best regards
dingolino
PS: By the way Softmaker is better in handling Windows Office files than Pocket Office by itself - and no I am not getting paid for saying something positive about Softmaker, just bought it and use it from time to time

Document Stuff

@Combat goofwing - the transformer comes with the Polaris Office suite pre installed which handles MS Office documents i believe.. so that should sort out your requirement for Word
Speaking of which, has anyone given Polaris Office a good going over yet?
..and are there any decent android alternatives knocking around?

There is QuickOffice. I'm not a fan of doc format so I probably won't use PolarisOffice or QuickOffice if I'll find an alternative. There is of course Google Docs - which probably will be enough for me.

offline editing will be handy though.. and compatibility with office will be a headline for many (especially with the forthcoming dock)

Yes. I'd prefer rtf or odt though because I use Libre Office on my computer and most my files are odt. I can settle for docs though, Libre Office doesn't have problems with them.
