[missing-sync-palmos-talk] Can't install pdf files

[Ken Freeman]

Are you using Adobe's Palm software on the handheld to read the .PDF files
or something else?

It's been a while since I have used the Adobe Palm software, but it seems
they have a Mac desktop utility that creates a Palm ready file that can then
be installed to the handheld. You don't just install and read regular .pdf
files. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Or, you could be using some other PDF reader that can read a raw PDF. If so,
that reader needs to register with the Exchange Manager in the Palm OS to
let it know that it can handle PDF files. If an application tells the
Exchange Manager that it can support a PDF then the Missing Sync will let
you install that application, but if no apps are registering for that file
type the Missing Sync will not let you synchronize that file (we don't let
you sync a file that the handheld can't read).

However, another approach would be to use Desktop Mounting and simply copy
the PDF file to your SD card. You may want to give that a try.
