Best PDF reader?

hey guys, I'm not satisfied with the Adobe reader that came with my AT&T Tilt. does anyone have a good pdf reader? I hate how I have to use my stylus soo often to move the page left and right to properly view the PDFs. My friends told me about how sweet Palm Reader was for Palm PDAs and how it would convert the PDF to maximum readability so that all the letters would fit to the screen properly. Is there a similar program for windows mobile?

I use Piscel Browser..we can zoom in/out..its like OPERA..

Foxit is an option
Not free, but good.

I looked around for Picsel browser to try, but I cant even find a way to buy it. Is it OEM only?

My Best
Try this one.
It seems to work best for me.

I use some kind of ported adobe reader off the Diamond that has text reflow, like opera. I don't think it uninstalls real well if you have an adobe reader baked into your ROM, but search around. Of the PDF software I've tried, it's decent. Try searching something like "adobe reader LE 2.5 Diamond".

Sadly, my favorite PDF reader is now Word Mobile!
If you go here:
http://pdfonline.com/pdf2word/index.asp
you can upload your PDFs and the website converts them to .rtf files you can download and view in Word.
They increase in size about 10x, but if you then resave them as .doc it cuts them in half (now about 5x original .pdf size.)
Images convert as well as text, and now the document can word wrap, to avoid scrolling, plus you can edit them.

Adobe reader 2.0 does not do reflow
Adobe reader 2.5 does
It's available as a CAB and once installed it will replace the embeded one.
Or flash a recent ROM that has version 2.5 already integrated.

pdf viewer recommendation?

Hi - anyone have app recommendations for pdf viewing? specifically pdfs relating to scanned hardcopy documents? I downloaded repligo but it can't seem to open these sort of pdfs!

Double that.
I'm usually reading graphics heavt pdf documents (rpg games you can get in online stores like rpgnow) and been using foit on winMo. But now i'm migrating to android I need to know about an app that will handle those.
I don't want to spend my money for app I wont use.
P.S sorry for offtopic - is there any comic book reader on android that reads cbr and cbz files?

The HTC pdf reader can handle these files.
There is also a beta in the market -- BEAMREADER, it seems to work also, but it is very SLOW.

There is a office and pdf viewing program ripped from one of the new Archos tablets running Android called Thinkfree Mobile that does it all. You should be able to find it somewhere in the forums.

[Q] question about acrobat reader

After rooting my nook color to gain access to the market, I downloaded the free acrobat reader apps. However, I don't know how to open a file using it. When I double click a pdf, the pdf is opened with quickoffice without asking me to choose. When I open acrobat reader itself, I don't see a menu to open a file.
I know this is a silly question. Could someone tell me how to use the acrobat reader?
Thank you very much!

still have no clue.
I googled but didn't find anything. Maybe no one is as silly as me
Should I put the pdf file inside certain folders (or sdcard) for acrobat reader to find?

somewhere there is a setting to choose the default program for pdf's. You'll need to clear that setting and then select the adobe reader as the default.

Hi, I use Dropbox to move files among computers and NC. When I hit a pdf file in Dropbox on the NC, it is downloaded and then I'm presented with the option of opening it with either adobe reader, quickoffice, or reader (the pdf file will be saved in the Dropbox folder). Another option is to transfer/save your pdf files to the adobe folder on your NC (mine is on the SD card). If the pdf files are already on my NC, I use Astro to move them around to the folder of my choice.

I have Adobe Reader on my Nook Color and when I open the app, it opens right to a file picker with two tabs. The first is Recently Viewed and the second is PDF Files.
My PDF's are in /sdcard/My Files/Books/PDF
If you have Root Explorer, I'd suggest navigating to your PDFs in Root Explorer and clicking on one. It should prompt you for the app you want to use and instead of using Adobe Reader or Quickoffice, try the Reader app. It does a nicer job of displaying the PDFs I've tried it with.

guys, thank you very much for your help. I will try your suggestions.

Need a solid PDF reader

Guys I need a good PDF reader. I use it to read Programming / coding related books most of the time. The conversion of such books to ePub isn't that good. So any good pdf reader out there ?
My problem is, font size will be too low when opened in PDF. Then I have to zoom in & zoom out, to turn to next page. Imagine this for books having 1000 pages :O
So suggest me a good PDF reader.
TIA

Adobe reader and ez pdf reader both have text reflow. That sounds like just what you need.

I have been using Moon Reader Pro for both PDFs and Ebooks... loving it thus far. Been using it for a few weeks. There is a free version as well, and it supports Calibre servers natively.

Oh ! How do I activate that ? I already have Adobe Reader installed

Open the pdf. On the latest version, click the view button (3rd from right on top bar) and select reflow text. It only works if it's a text-based pdf, scanned ones won't work.

^thank u ! It somewhat solves my problem. Are there any better solution for it ?

Give Mantano Reader a try.

[Q] Question about officesuite/PDF viewer

How do I make officesuite like a ebook reader whereby when you go into standby/close the app, it continues from where you were reading? If its not possible, what other apps can do this which read PDF's similar to officesuite?
thanks in advance!

Bump. Or alternatively something like officesuite which can read PDF's and DOC's properly and have a way of continuing to read from where you were before?

Are you looking for something more than just a standard PDF reader? Adobe Reader does exactly what you're asking for.
[Edit:] although, I don't think you can read other formats with it

jetblast787,
There are several choices in Google Play Store. If you enter PDF in the search, you will see over 100 options. The ones I have used that meet your needs are:
1. PDF Max ($3.71)
2. PDF (Free)
3. EBookDroid (Free)
4. Moon Reader Pro ($4.99)
Please let me know if this answered your question.
