david fox: View PDF files on your PDA - 11/13/08 03:22 AM
On The Road and Need to View a PDF file from another agent?

Well if you have a Windows Powered PDA or a Palm Powered PDA, you are in luck!  Adobe (Maker of Adobe Acrobat, and Aodbe Reader) has a version of Acrobat Reader for the PDA.
Basically you need to download the program, and run the install process.  The program will then prompt you to sync your pda/phone and follow the steps on your screen.   You will now be able to view PDF files directly on your phone!  Imagine how much time this will save you.
