What is Pdf?
-------------
Pdf is a viewer for Portable Document Format (PDF) version 1.3 files.
These are also sometimes also called 'Acrobat' files, from the name of
Adobe's PDF software.
There's also a more capable flavor called Pdf+ available. Pdf+ can print,
copy text to other applications, follow links and handle bookmarks. Pdf+
also has special Revo and Series7/netBook modes. Check the website for
details.
Distribution
------------
Pdf 1.02 is licensed under the GNU General Public License (GPL),
version 2. Read the license in COPYING.txt for details on what is
allowed and what isn't. When you install Pdf, you must accept the
license.
If you want to distribute Pdf (on CD for instance), you must distribute
the source code as well. The source code is available on the website.
Check the license in COPYING.txt. Feel free to contact mBrain Software
for any question you migth have on distributing Pdf, or to check if
there's a newer version available.
Compatibility
-------------
Pdf is known to run on almost all current EPOC PDA's, such as the
Psion series 5, series 5mx, series 5mx Pro, series 7, netBook, Revo and
the Revo Plus, the Ericsson MC218 and the Oregon Scientific Osaris.
Pdf should run on the Diamond Mako (as this is a rebadged Revo Plus) and
the GeoFox, but at the time of writing this is not confirmed.
Pdf does not run on the recently announced ER5u and ER6 machines like the
Ericsson R380 and Nokia communicator. Check the website for availability.
Installation
-------------
Install the pdf.sis file in the usual way. Check your manual if you
are unsure how to install a program on your EPOC PDA.
On the Series 7 it is possible that the installation programs hangs
while displaying the message "Checking dependencies". If this happens
to you, copy pdf.sis to your Series 7 and install it from there, by
tapping twice on it. You might want to delete this file afterwards.
The file Pdf+.pdf is a quick-start guide to using Pdf. Copy it to
your EPOC PDA and run it by tapping twice on it.
Running
-------
Pdf files have their own icon in the System screen (but not on a
Series 5 or a GeoFox). Tap twice on a pdf file to start Pdf with
that file. Pdf will load the file (this might take a while) and
display it (this migth take a while too). Check the menu and the
help text (Ctrl+Shift+H) for an overview of the commands available.
You can also start Pdf via the Extras bar.
