Excellent, works with my Treo 680 (in loading files, takes some secs but it's a fair speed)

Works well on my wife's new Palm Tungsten E2. We like the rotate and zomm features.

That was a great effort. Works well with my Palm TX. Perhaps a simple undo action to reverse options e.g. "To Card" or strip PRC. But hey... The functions are better than most other softwares out there...

Not the best option for using with Tungsten E2. I'm still waiting for a good pdf handler...

I have been struggling for months with my Treo 650 because it would give me an error message when I tried to view any pdf's (I have Verizon as my carrier). Thank you so much!! this is a godsend..keep up the great work!!

Works well on my T|X but not 100%. There are a few files that will not work, they are large, color maps. Unlike Adobe, this program will open a PDF file after an e-mail download. With Adobe's reader, after receiving an e-mail, I chose to install and I would get a "could not beam" error message. Fine but I wasn't beaming, I was installing to view.

Works just find on my T3. I find that the speed of page loading can depend on the SD card; my Lexar SD seems to transfer faster than my Sandisk SD. I'm now using it to read a document that's 42MB of captured images. PalmPDF and the T3 handle the large file with no issues.

It works,but It show ragged on traditional chinese doc. I think the font DB have problem.

Loads quick and looks good on my TX (speed will obviously depend on size and contents of your pdf). It's easier to view at higher magnifications if you switch to landscape before launching the reader. Didn't see any obvious way to switch once the program was launched. Overall, an excellent program, and very useful.

It works, provided the PDF uses a simple layout, and it's not too big. But the time needed to render a page is from one to several minutes, and I was unable to read a 16-pages newsletter in grayscale on my TE2 at an acceptable zoom level. However, better than nothing; especially because, if the PDF is mainly made of text, you can convert it "on the fly" to palm doc format and read it with another program, which is convenient and handful.

Not bad! Works OK for my Lifedrive

Do not use UDMH on devices with NVFS (flash memory), such as TX, Tungsten E2, and T5. There are reports of malfunctions with E2 units, and TX, so far no T5s broken. Its propably becouse UDMH writes into the protected part of the flash. Read more: http://palmpowerups.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=40

Nice Programm, but I wouldn't recommend it on a T1. It is working, but very slowly with small PDFs. Fortunatly, I spent some money on RepliGo. Its not a native PDF-viewer, but it was no problem to handle 12MB-Pdf shrinked to 7 MB in RepliGO-Format. So from a T1-User only ***

DataViz is going to have a hard time selling DtGv.8 with a program like this floating around! I dumped some very complex .pdf's into my T5 and they all rendered just like they would have on the PC! (I am running UDMH to increase my dynamic memory heap.)

This must be the first (..maybe the fitst freeware) to access native PDF files on Palm and IT WORKS ON MY TREO 600!!!!! A BIG THANKS,
