Tips & Warnings

Transfer the PDF file after you have installed the Mobile PDF reader. This way, your PDF files will be retagged for easier viewing on mobile devices.
Some PDF files won't have the word wrap feature work properly. If so, delete the file from your PDA and re-transfer it. That should convert it to the new tagged format.
Larger PDF files will take a while to convert and transfer. Be prepared to wait.
