Hi,
I got my Transformer a few days ago and just finished copying a few thousand pdf files to my microSD card. MyLibrary shows them all just fine in the library view, but if I try to open any of the pdf's the screen just goes black and the back button stops working. To get back I need to press Home and force kill the app myself. Other apps open the pdf files just fine. Anyone else having this problem? Any ideas on how to solve this problem? Thanks!

While there are better readers, i would like to know why it doesn't work and like the option of using everything that is built in.
Okay. Thanks for the replies. Good to know it is indeed the Prime 1.4 rom I installed. I already suspected as much. I've installed Aldiko and ezpdf now, but like the previous poster I'd like to know why MyLibrary is not working as it should and/or when this is going to be fixed.

Uhh *bangs head against wall* if you insist on using the supplied apps, be they any good or not, open your PDFs in polaris office, it's a lot better but there's plenty of alternatives in the market...700+ for PDF, 31 for ereader
I've yet to root or change roms so while it works, it is by far the worst PDF viewer I've seen
i have a book in the form of a .pdf that id like to read, whats the best app for that?
I've tried a few, but always seem to go back to using Acrobat.
I've used a few also but for some reason none of them will save my page. Tried on my tab and phone.
Does this happen to anyone else?
ezpdf reader works well for me. allows bookmarks and saves the page you were on, along with a text reflow.
Both ezpdf and beamreader work great for me. Try both these apps as IMO they are better than the adobe reader app!!

Does anyone know of a PDF reader that supports displaying two pages at the same time in landscape mode (like a book or magazine). I would have thought that this was basic functionality, but I cannot find a single app to do it....
I'm REALLY looking for GoodReader for Android (an IOS app - hopefully they port to Android soon)!

Never seen dual page layouts for pdf readers on Android. I know a lot of ebook readers and comic readers are capable of it, but none so far for pdf files.
Does really no one have an answer to this?
I know about the solution perfect viewer plus the pdf addon, but there are often crashes and its slow.
Can't say that I have one, although I can't say I have ever found a great PDF reader fir Android either.

Mantano reader is one of the most complete readers, suited more for honeycomb than for other versions. Repligo is probably the fastest.
If I want to read a PDF with two pages at one time, I simply convert it to epub and read it with MyLibrary. Works like a charm!

I wish EZPDF Reader did 2 pages at once in landscape, but I don't belive it does (I've never found a way)....

Man, I need to get back into programming... I've found quite a few "missing" apps like that for Android... Something that seems so basic (displaying 2 pages at once) - and there is not a single app to do it for Andoid! What an opportunity!
Ok here I go.
Can anyone or has anyone developed an app for an android pad that inverts the colors.
Kind of like the option on iPhone/pad.
Really need this for reading web pages and PDF files.
I have a sight problem and it's the one thing that will solve many issues for me.
Here's hoping.
Jasper.
Ok lol. I guess that's a no.
I never saw something of this on android....

Try EzPdf Reader, it has a night mode that inverts the colors.
Hello,
For PDF reading I suggest RepliGo Reader, also have an option to invert colour.
If you really need to reader an internet page using the inverted colour you can save the page to PDF using Firefox and read it with RepliGo Reader.
Best.
Great help guys.
I downloaded instafetch pro and it's perfect for reading web pages.
Will also try those PDF readers.
I love my a500 once again lol
The PDF readers are ideal.
Now does anyone know of any email clients that offer a night mode?
Hi!
One of the main reason I bought this particular tablet was to easily read and highlight in PDFs when I study. Since it got this wonderful pen I thought it would be simple to use fingers for zoom/pan etc and the pen to highlight but I've not found any app with that functionality. Of course I can go in a menu and select highlight but I want to use the stylus as an "always on highlight" marker.
ezPDF seems to do the trick but I can't tell, anyone who tried it and can tell if it works well or have any other recommendations?
Thanks in advance!

I am looking for the same. I have to read and highlight many pdf documents. I have tried Officesuite pro, no luck, and Polaris, no luck. Adobe reader lets me highlight but its clumsy and highlighted text isn't shown if I open the pdf in another program afterwards.
You can use ezPdf with these settings:

Thanks! How is ezPDF in terms of regular viewing capabilities? Does it flow nicely or is all the animations and tools slowing it down making 1000p PDF files/books lag when turning page?

I can confirm it works very well for big books/documents too. I use it on both Nexus 7 and Note, no performance problems.

I also use ezPDF. Great app.
So, I've tired ezPDF but I can't get the main function I requested to work. I can annotate and highlight, sure. But the program doesn't tell the difference between my finger and the pen so I can't use the pen as a constant highlighter and the finger to navigate through the pages. Can this be done using the application? This is critical, I have apps to view and annotate in PDFs that are at least as good as ezPDF, but none with that functionality.
Thanks!

I have purchased many pdf reader/editors... ezpdf, repligo, moon pdf, iannotate and so on..
The reason - I spent most of the time reading and editing pdf...
I also need to edit a lot of pdf which are scanned documents as pictures.. Ezpdf does the job best becoz of pre rendering the pages...
Over the years ezpdf has come on top.
However u cannot get the option of fully disabiling finger touch and use only stylus in any of the good pdf readers...
But the good thing is that when you use stylus, palm rejection works. The important thing is that you have to make sure the stylus is close to the screen before you rest the palm on the screen...
This works well for me... today I spent about 7 hours doing edits, the way in mentioned above and no issues..
They should work with lecturenotes developer. Lecturenotes allow making annotations using stylus while at the same time finger scrolls and controls zooming.

Thanks for your post! Well I'm starting to think that you are right, there is no app that allows me to use the pen as an always active highlighter.
I use LectureNotes for everything but pure books in pdf because I think it's as close to perfection as a note taking app could be. But import and handle 1000p PDFs is a no go and when flipping page is the main activity there are a lot better apps. At all lecture PDFs (10-20p) that we get LectureNotes is great, it allows you to mark and annotate in the PDF as well as easily inserting a page between if you need more space for notes.
What I want though, isn't just palm rejection. I still want to be able to switch page with my fingers. I want the program do treat my fingers and pens differently though, just like I sit with a book in one hand and a highlighter in the other when reading course literature I want to sit with my tablet in one hand and my stylus in the other. But the more programs I try, the less I think this is possible.

I totally agree, make the insertion and more importantly handling when switching pages of large PDFs more easy on LectureNotes and you got exactly what I'm looking for. Of course, keeping the bookmarks and be able to use them in a simple way is important as well. And it needs a little "read mode", because when I have one finger pan enabled I cannot rest my palm on the screen without accidently pan the page and I can't get the page flipping as smooth as every PDF reader. You know the, swipe your finger over the screen and it's getting to the next or previous page.

I wrote to the developers of both iAnnotate and ezPDF to recommend a fuller incorporation of the S-pen in annotating PDFs. Would love to see LectureNotes style ability to use the stylus to write and the finger to scroll at the same time. (Or perhaps have LectureNotes handle PDFs as more than bitmaps!). The folks from iAnnotate said they would consider it, so perhaps if more people write in and suggest it, they'll see that there is a good market for this.

Great initiative! Considering the amount of Note devices both in the phone as well as the tablet versions samsung has sold and probably will be selling there should be plenty of potential users for such an app. But to me, since most of my PDFs are for a specific class that I have notes for as well having all together in LectureNotes would of course be the best solution even if I think such features in LectureNotes isn't coming any time soon.

Adobe reader 10.4.2 allows reading and highlighting with pen it also has freehand drawing, adding text, text striking and note insertion along with other features. Tested with my note 10.1 and works great.
ezPDF works fine for me, and I do use it everyday for annotating my academic PDFs. I'm surprised how awesome it works for highlighting (are yo umaybe doing something wrong?), and I've gotten really quick at it. I have set the option to recognize palm in the settings. You can still change pages (or visualized column or whatever) either with the page button or with two fingers (holding the stylus, I find tapping on the next page button is the quickest). I often annotate and I love the possibility of freehand writing (somehow, it makes me feel like my PDFs are scanned versions of printed copies I've written on!), and for this I always use the pen (and not the pencil).
The only complaint I might have is that it takes a second to save the annotations when you change a tool, but that's fine for me.
Let me know if you need any other info!
Surely this isn't impossible, or even difficult for the devs of any pdf reader to include?
Obviously I am not a developer so I am guessing at this, palm recognition etc measure the surface area/pixels/electrical connections made simultaneously? If I am broadly correct then is it not possible to have settings that recognise palms( lets say 500 pixels or more) , fingertips(less than 50 but greater than 10 pixels) and stylus, with its considerably smaller surface area, as say 10 pixels or less?
Am I being very naive?
