    Does anyone know if RIM is planning anything with Adobe? I would love to be able to view documents with reader.

    You can already view PDFs that are attached to an email.

    You should be able to view PDF files on your device. I know I can. Try sending yourself a PDF attatchment.

    You can also buy Beamberry which allows you to open and even save attachments, including pdf files. It costs $9 but they have a trial program too.

    In OS 4.5 you can actually save the attachments to your SD card once you open them.

    I know when I try to view a PDF that is attached to my work emails, they seem to be converted to a low quality image or something. We use PDF's alot here at work (engineering AutoCAD drawings, 8.5"x11" documents, etc) and when I view them on my BB curve it is very grainy/pixelated and useless. Zooming in makes it even worse, it seems. Do you know if there is a conversion process from the original PDF image to something the BB can display?

    After you zoom in press the menu button and there should be "enhance" in there. Makes it a bit clearer.

    ah ha, Awesome! Thanks. Kind of sucks that it doesn't enhance the whole document, just the portion that you are zoomed into, but it is better than nothing and I can actually read it now!

    Thanks again.

    I can't remember if it did it with 4.2, but with 4.5 after zooming just wait a few seconds and it clears up.

    NP Try enhancing the whole thing first then zoom in. Either way at leasy now you can read it.

    In 4.2 you had to select enhance but yes in 4.5 it does it automatically.

    If I enhance from the beginning, then zoom in, it's blurry again. I think the only way of enhancing is when it's at an optimum stage to view. If you want to look at another part of the page in detail, then the have to 'go back' then re-enhance.

    Never-the-less, it's great we can at least view the pdf docs.

    Yea ur probably right. I'm using 4.5 right now so I couldn't test that. Either way works great.
