Is there a program out there that will allow me to convert acrobat files into some other format, such as .lit to be read with MS Reader. I have a document that is readable with the acrobat reader for PPC, but I have to scroll left and right to read everything. I want to be able to read the document without scrolling left and right. Thanks.

I have an e-book in acrobat that I can now read on my Dell. It would be great if I could reformat as you suggest. I have tried every option in preferences but to no avail. Can you please provide instructions on how to do this.

Thanx,

shawnc,

Make sure you copy the file through "Mobile Device" in My Computer. If you're installed Acrobat Reader for PPC using the same machine, there's a hook into ActiveSync to retag the PDF to make it "reflowable". You just then turn on reflow on the PPC, and poof! it's reformatted.

As for the original poster - it's deliberately difficult to convert from PDF. If you have the "full" Acrobat version, you may be able to copy the text out, but it's a hassle-filled process.
