Pdf Files

[GP40]

Hi All,

Just got my gp32 BLU about a fortnight ago after having a shuffty at a mates GP32.

Tried the overclocking test: 166Mhz -_-

Anyhoo, I have a rather large pdf book and want to read it on the GP32. Tried the save as text feature in Acrobat Reader and it came out all naff.

Can the GP32 Text viewer can read rtf files?
If so does anyone know where I can get a free pdf to rtf converter?

Is there any other options I could take?

TIA

i think gplinux has some sort of pdf reader

Yeah, but it's slow and hard to set up at present if you're not sure what you're doing.

Best thing to do is type PDF2TXT into Google and read the .txt files on your GP32.

Trouble is the book is ~1500 pages long and txt files don't split into pages :/

Is there a HTML viewer for the GP32?

Cheers

Same answer for the HTML viewer, GP32Linux can do it, but it's not that easy to use it
sorry

PDF2TXT costs $38
pdaConverter is freeware, works great, and is available from :-

If you need to convert HTML to text then Web2Text , also freeware , works great too.

html viewer working well, but still too slow for my taste
i hope to release a new one [fast one ] end september

pdf viewer not working yet [ uses too much memory ]
looking to another solution, to convert pdf pages into images on the fly
and display them with an image viewer, but again have to see if it doesnt take too much memory, and have to resolve some cross compilation issues

but if you want, you can convert your pdf into images, put them on a smc card and display them on gp32 using your favorite image viewer
