PDF Reader for Bold?

**bbuser19741** · 03-10-2009, 10:49 AM

What PDF reader works best on the bold (Docs to Go, Beamberry, or Repligo)? Thanks

I use Docs To Go and Repligo and they both work great.

Ive never needed to try anything other than the standard docs to go.

There was a comparison between Beam Reader and Repligo not too long ago (either on here or on Pinstack). Repligo won IIRC. It probably performed the best for me out of the 3. I tried to like Beam Reader, but it was slow when I used it, and Repligo just worked better. I demo'd the pro version of DTG, but I can't justify spending that much for just the PDF capability. I haven't had the need to create any documents on my device, so the other parts of the Pro version really don't appeal to me.

I've always been able to read PDF's since I got my phone. I never downloaded anything. Am I missing something?

The native PDF reader will let you read a PDF document as long as it's an attachment. You can't read PDFs stored to memory.

I am pretty positive the 'native' pdf reader is all server side rendering, just by watching the data usage, and the way it loads. So if I ever have a PDF i need to view, I just email it to myself. Slow, but at least it works.

Does anyone know how to reflow a pdf for viewing on a mobile device when it's too wide to fit on the screen?

**ipos** · 03-11-2009, 02:56 AM

Zoom out?

I do the same. I do wish the browser could read PDF files, though. All it can do is convert text-based PDFs to a more or less readable HTML format.

repligo works well for me

is there a freeware that can allow me to open pdf files without paying more money?

**applejosh** · 04-05-2009, 11:48 AM

Unless you purchase one of the apps listed in this thread, the only way to view PDF's on your device is to email them to yourself. I believe this has been discussed (in this thread and elsewhere). Currently, I know of no freeware PDF viewer.

You can't rerad PDF files stored on your memory card without one of the 3rd party applications discussed in the rest of this thread: DocsToGo Premiun, BeamReader or Repligo. DocsToGo Premium, BeamReader and Reigo are paid apps (both have a trial version).

Addendum:
Oops. Sorry Appjosh. Didn't see your response there.

which software is the most stable and value for money?

**applejosh** · 04-06-2009, 09:55 AM

Repligo or Beam Reader. There was a review on Crackberry a while ago, and Repligo came out ahead. Both have demos. Try them out and see which one works best for you. They're both about the same price (within pennies last I checked).
