This just came in via 1src:
PalmPDF is (as far as I know) the only native PDF reader for PalmOS with “Search”-Support. It even allows the conversion to PalmDOC files on the handheld. Btw, PalmPDF also supports the converted files from Acrobat for Palm when stored as .pdb on the memory card (/PALM/Launcher/). This might allow you to even view DRM-protected files on your Palm.
If you never tried it or didn’t updated your version since the last month, check out this new version and report back

Hi Tam,
You have linked to the old version (and description) of PalmPDF 1.3b, released in June.
Version 1.4 is linked to from 1src, and adds several bugfixes plus a “text reflow” action. So far, it seems to work very well (and somewhat faster?) on my TX.
Hi,
oops. Thats what I found at 1src, at least!
Best regards
Tam Hanna
