I have just installed Adobe Reader v3.05, but I recently told Docs To 
Go that I would use it as my pdf reader.

Someone please correct Ken if he's wrong. I haven't a clue! I used to 
be able to load pdf's my dragging them into the (Palm Dsktop's) 
HotSync Manager's window, but I can't load them now that I've 
installed TMS.

Sorry, I don't understand "Exchange Manager". Is that an app that's 
supposed to be in my Palm?

Yes... so I use MissingSync (the Palm app) to load the virtual disk 
onto my desktop, and copy my 3 pdf's to the folder where the other 3 
pdf's reside? I did that, but neither Adobe Reader nor Docs To Go can 
find them.
