PDF on CE

Acrobat Reader for WindowsMobile should work, but you need a kernel with aygshell.dll support. Please contact sales for details.

I've been working with kernel: NK82_CF_070305.bin (no aygshell)

work but they are shareware.

As mentioned I was able to install Acrobat Reader, but as soon as I try to open a pdf I get an error.

I contacted sales to assure myself of the fact that kernel "NK8MediaIE_060724.bin" contains aygshell. - confirmed

I downloaded acrobat for ARM:

At our device we do not have "usb device" we have 2 "usb host". Therefore we are not able to use Active Sync. (I found no possibility to use Active Sync without device beeing a usb device)

So I start active sync only at my PC than in \Program Files\Microsoft
Active Sync\ a folder Adobe is created, containing the cab file. I
transfer the cab file manually onto my device and install it.
At the beginning everything seems to work, all pdf's are now
recognized as pdf (pdf icon), then I try to open a pdf, I get the
error:

Quote

Cannot find 'AcroRd32' (or one of its components). Make sure the path
and filename are correct and that all required libraries are
available.

I did the same procedure with the program Primer (both kernels). - everything worked fine.

Did you manage it to work?

Thank you very much.

Hello,

i would expect that the CAB contains all necessary libraries. But you could use "dependency walker" or "dependency viewer" for check if some libraries are missed (maybe an older mfc dll version is required?).

Thank you for the advise.

Here's an alternative to Adobe's PDF Reader:
