How to View PDF Documents on a Blackberry
Blackberry devices can read email, make telephone calls and keep users connected to the world at large. PDF attachments received via email can easily be read and viewed thanks to Blackberry's Attachment Services, but local PDF documents stored on the device itself cannot yet be accessed without the use of third party software. Third party software like BeamReader allows you to read locally stored PDFs and provides your Blackberry with PDF viewing that does not depend on a network connection.

Tips & Warnings
Once BeamReader is installed, you can use the application to open PDF email attachments by selecting the new "Open with BeamReader" option that appears when you click the attachment.
BeamReader can be used to view more than just PDF files; it can also read MS Office documents, images and audio/visual files.
