Hi everyone:
I have been running into this problem more and more. While browsing on the Internet with the Treo 600 using Sprint, I will get a link to read an article, e.g. newspaper subject, and it is in .pdf format. I click on the link, it downloads to the T600, asks for open or save to Acrobat Reader (for Palm). I then click on either one and the T600 reboots. I cannot find the file anywhere within the machine. Is this because the .pdf file has to come through the desktop to get to the T600, or is there something setup incorrectly on the T600? Do I need a different program than the Acrobat Reader for Palm in order to read a .pdf file directly from the Internet Browser?
Thanks.

You cannot directly read a pdf file on the Treo. Acrobat Reader for Palm OS or other pdf files readers have to preprocesss the pdf file on desktop PC to change it to a format readable on palm device.

I have another tactic. Has anyone tried online websites that convert PDF to HTML files?

BCL has a site called www. gobcl.com

Adobe has a site: http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/access_adv_form.html
but I don't know if this will work with the Treo 600 browser.
