How to read .pdf or .chm files ?
Hi
I just installed Sunrise on my desktop and plucker on my Zire 31. I have tried some websites and it's working fine. How do I use the same pair to read .pdf or .chm files that are currently on my hard drive? Thanks a lot Patrick |

Hi
Ok so is there another reader for these type of files (.chm .pdf) ? What about regular text files? Can I use sunrise/plucker for these? Thanks Patrick |

PalmPDF (beta freeware) can read native pdf files. So can Documents to Go 8 premium.

Repligo is quite good for pdf files, but you need to print to a file first.

CHM2HTML works great, I've been using it for years to transform CHM content to HTML. Shareware. Mobile-only version is sufficient for your needs, costs $14.95.
Alternative, do a search on Google ![]() |

Just go here, download the software and convert to PDB (iSilo) files and read!
Description by publisher: Convert CHM files to iSilo PDB Reader format Convert CHM to PDB - Read all your CHM files/e-books on your handheld PDA Let me present to you a small program that i have made.. After searching through the net for a reader for CHM files, i was frustrated. So i have compiled a program that will convert your CHM files to iSilo PDB, so that they can be easily read with iSilo PDB reader! The user interface is very simple, infact you just have to point towards the source file and the destination folder!! Any suggestions / comments are welcome. |

Though this thread appears to be dead, I wanted to point out that it is now possible to convert PDFs to HTML (Not sure if that was not an option when this thread started but I doubt it). This is awesome with Sunrise and plucker as the docs are so much more readable. You can batch process pdfs with a third party tool or use adobe acrobat professional. I have yet to come up with a good free alternative but I'm looking. I did see reference to a conversion process that converts pdf to html to plucker in one shot. I was getting sick of dorking around with pdf articles and resources on Palm. Now it's not an issue.
Workflow: 1.) Batch convert pdfs to html 2.) Convert the htmls to plucker with sunrisexp. Last edited by Mgilbride; 06-22-2008 at 03:26 AM. Reason: to add info I forgot to put in |
