Has anyone seen a PDF reader that supports
NX70v,
320x480,
variety of fonts,
searching,
bookmarking,
VFS,
landscape rotation.
So far, I've tried out
Documents To Go's viewer
- no bookmarking
- so unexciting that I can't remember anything else about it.
RepliGo
- no bookmarking
- no searching
- not really excited about fonts (a little too anti-aliased?)
Adobe Acrobat 2.0
- no bookmarking
- 320x320 only
- buggy windows PDF preprocessor
I'm probably most impressed with RepliGo's methods, but without
bookmarks and searching, I can't quite justify the cost without seeing the fulfillment of my dreams. I'm currently running Acrobat but only because it was free and runs marginally.

well to me would be just fine any PDF reader under os 4.x that supports NATIVE formats ..
*sigh* picsel will not be published released under os 4.x since it's too slow even on dragonball 66mhz :(
and i doubt adobe will release acrobat reader with native format support any soon .. and if the case it'll be only for os 5 ..

One method would be to use:
http://pdftohtml.sourceforge.net/
And then use any one of the many programs that convert HTML for reading on Palm (Plucker,iSilo,Handstory, etc.).
An easier method would be to use:
http://home.arcor.de/derfetzer/palm/pdaconverter_e.html
which directly creates a PalmOS file for Plucker Viewer.
Both pdaconverter and Plucker are free software.

I think Repligo is the best PDF viewer available even though it lacks searches and bookmarking. It does a great job preserving the formatting of text and images, and also in the text-wrap only mode. It is one of the handfull of apps that support landscape viewing.
I would like to see font size selection in text-wrap mode (no images), and the ability to categorize documents and add bookmarks.
I think future versions will soon support these features and several others. Repligo has mentioned they are looking ahead and planning more great things for this app.
