[PATCH/IPK]Adobe PDF Reader Enhancements

[Jamalinho]

Uninstalled Adobe Reader with preware, did a full device restart, standard Adobe appeared again, did an update to the newest Adobe version, installed 2.0.6 over it.
Nothing changed, gettin same error, cant open any password-protected file.
Btw, the folder-view of the patched adobe start-screen has a little too "low rows".

Did unprotected files open?

[Jamalinho]

Yes, no problems with any unprotected file.
Mupdf-based versions gives error-message (not askin for any password at all)
"Normal" version (2.0.0) asks for password, but havin problems displayin the files (sometimes not a single page, sometimes the first, sometimes a few more)

OK, that's good to know. It should be looked at soon.

zinio isn't loading any new mags after installing patches ... Any help?

[fuzzione1]

Where exactly can you determine what enhanced version is installed on the tp? I installed 2.0.6 and seem to have all the (outstanding) enhanced features but all info I see still points to the default adobe 10.3.484 version. I've looked in 'about', software manager and preware installed apps. Thx.

[p41m3r]

It will continue to say "10.3.484" because the app version # is not altered to reflect patching.

Ok, stupid question. How can i tell if i have installed it correctly?

The simplest way is to just open a PDF or just the reader and see if there is a change.

for the wish list: the ability to select text and highlight with different colors or copy and past

Hi, I downloaded the most recent "mupdf" renderer for my Touchpad running 3.05. This was because my TP could not open my university notes from their website - They use "WebCT". Sadly i can still not open files from this website. Are any other fixes known? Thanks

This is a different issue do a search for secure downloading on this forum.

Hi filmor_,

I am also experiencing the "Too many cards open, please close some" error with only 1 document open. In fact, after enough page turns the entire TP rebooted itself-- making Adobe Reader pretty much unusable

Has the memory leak been fixed in 2.0.6?

Thanks for your hard work!

Do you have uberkernel installed? I'd get that error all the time until I installed uberkernel.

There's definitely a memory leak in 2.0.6. I've had the "Too many cards open" message several times after reading 40-50 pages in a row. I can run other apps after closing the pdf reader, but the TP is sluggish and some apps won't work (e.g. this web page wouldn't load until I rebooted) This didn't happen with 1.8.5.

Thank you guys :-)

please keep up the good work and make it the best pdf reader out there :-)

You should see my smile because the dual boot option is not really an option so I keep on using webos and I need to reed so many books at my university :-)

Underlining would be really really great or and notes
Will this be possible or is this just a drea or will it be a dream forever?

Where can I donate :-)
I really appreciate it and so just let me know... I will have a few bucks for you

The ability to annotate documents is highly desired by many (including myself). Unfortunately it's not easy because the PDF rendering engines we use convert the pages to images and pulling and decorating text from an image is not an easy task. However, there is at least one option that a couple of us have toyed with that involves using an overlay. I have also been experimenting with a text based rendering engine but unfortunately so far it doesn't render very accurately in webOS though it looks decent when I pull it up in chrome on my laptop.

Bottom line is that we haven't given up on annotations so perhaps we will have a good solution down the road a bit.

On behalf of all of the contributors thanks for the kudos.

The memory leak is making 2.0.6 unusable for me. Some PDF documents I can only get through about 15-20 pages before I get "Too many cards", and then I have to spend 5 minutes rebooting WebOS. What's the correct procedure for downgrading to an earlier version of the pdf patch? Do I need at least 1.8.8 to be compatible with WebOS 3.0.5?

Have you tried 2.0.0 with the original adobe renderer? Here is the link.
