PDF Reader on Omnia?

SpasticWarrior · #1 (**permalink**) 01-13-2009, 08:46 PM

According to the specs on Verizon's web site the Omnia comes with Adobe LE as the PDF reader. I can't find it. What am I missing?

Thanks in advance for any help.

It is built in. Omnia does read PDFs fine.

The Omnia comes loaded with Boratech File Viewer used to view pdf files. It seems to work well enough for my needs and permits decent zooming and navigation. I am not sure if Adobe LE is loaded on the phone, I can not find it in the Program list.

Hmmm.I'm getting my Omnia tomorrow and I need to be able to open and read pdfs on my phone. Why wouldn't this come with Adobe LE?

I already posted that you can open and read PDFs fine.

The built in PDF reader is OK, but I prefer Adobe. I installed Adobe LE 2.5 (the version that is supposed to only work with certain phones) and it works fine on the Omnia.

Just curious why you rated the pdf viewer that comes with the Omnia as just OK? Are there any specific things you have noticed that you prefer to use Adobe LE for?

Let me know so I can decide to keep what's on the phone or load Adobe LE when I get it (hopefully it's sitting at my house as I type).

The built in reader is a bit funky in several ways:

1. It takes longer to load a document than LE

2. You have to go into fullscreen mode to get to the navigation tools

3. I don't like the way their zoom feature works. It is a bit wonky

4. I think that LE is clearer when reading text

I am sure there are others, but that's what leaps to mind.

Sounds like I want to load Adobe LE. I know I saw it somewhere...now I just need to find it.

Here's the cab for the 2.5 LE. I know it says Diamond but it works for my Omnia just fine.
