PDF files

Is there software that will let me view Adobe Acrobat PDF files on my iPod. I know of some software listed on the ipodlounge.com page but one of the links is broken and the other one I have to pay for. I want to download the demo version or full version of one for free.
Thanks

I don't think there is, the only software that will allow you to view pdf files on your iPod is iPodlibrary, but it clearly says on the homepage that these have to be eBooks...so not just any pdf file is possible.

It figures actually, you ever saw a picture (other than the apple logo) on the iPod screen? You can kind of consider pdf files to be a big picture (of documents) saved in a different format.

If you do see pictures on your iPod screen, don't forget to take your medication ;-)

Thanks, I kinda figured that there wasn't a free demo of software. I downloaded a pdf to word dorc converter to display on my iPod but the converter is not very good, for some reason it types the text twice. Like there are two layers to the word document and on one layer there is large text and the other there is smaller text. My iPod just displayed a bunch of blurry lines across the screen. That's ok. I will stick to listening to music on my iPod instead of trying to use it to read some documents.

iPodLibrary is completely free and you can use any pdf file you like.

The thing is you can only read the text on the iPod, images etc. are left out (hence books work well).

Give it a go :)
