In my quest to make my phone say "Hello World!" using python and no other computing power than that available on my Nokia E61 I've got to the point where I need a PDF reader in order to read the standard Symbian python docs. By default the E61 doesn't have a PDF reader. Checking out the All About Symbian forums I quickly find two options: one from Nokia and another called PDF+ from mBrain Software.
Trying the Nokia one first. I downloaded the sis file from the Nokia Asia site but the installation failed. Don't know why, but it is enough to make me try PDF+.
Trying the PDF+ reader from mbrains, but on clicking the sis link the browser displays the binary on the screen. I guess that the mime type is wrong on their server.
Trying the adobe site directly. Took some searching and headed off to "Reader LE". That link sends me off to a "partner site". This site gives me an option to buy but no preview. Sigh.
OK. Time for a re-think. Next time I'll try to get a text version of the API docs from somewhere. For now the traffic is moving and I'm off to work.

Yes you are right. when i searching for PDF reader fo my phone i found PDF+, BUT some man left comment that this software "eat" the battery. And it is TRUE - when you start Pdf+, read something, end then quit pdf+ - he steel eat your battery(I SUPPOSE proccessor is working). now i dont know what to do, restarting phone after reading PDF file is not cool. Somebody Please Write a FREE normal PDF program for E61, E61i! Yours Increazon from Ukraine!
