You CANNOT drag PDFs into the "Files To Install on SD card" window.

1. Download file that was previously indicated
2. Copy Adobe Reader for Palm OS to your hard drive.
3. Drag AdobeReader.prc onto Missing Sync's Install Window (handheld).
4. Double click Adobe Reader for Palm OS
5. In Missing Sync, select Conduits
6. Make sure Install and Adobe Reader are checked
7. Drag PDFs into Adobe Reader for Palm OS and NOT Missing Sync
8. Let Adobe Reader for Palm OS do the conversion
9. Leave Adobe Reader for Palm OS open
10. Press the HotSync button on your handheld.

The PDFs will now be transferred to your handheld.

The user guide "View User Guide" available from Adobe Reader for Palm  
OS is an extremely helpful document. They have an entire section on  
"Transferring PDF files". Part of it says:

"Transferring PDF files
Before you can view PDF documents on your Palm OS device, you need to  
transfer them  from your desktop computer to your handheld device. The  
Adobe Reader for Palm OS  dialog box lets you select and transfer PDF  
files to your handheld device. Performing a  HotSync operation  
downloads the files. The files remain in the transfer list until you   
activate HotSync from your handheld device. "
