If I want to read PDF files on my BN, I download the files directly from the KeyWeb browser, and then I send them as email attachments to a PDF file converted which translates them to either plain text or HTML, depending on where I send it. The PDF-TO-TXT email address is [EMAIL PROTECTED] and the PDF-TO-HTML is [EMAIL PROTECTED] Translation software emails the file back to you rather quickly. I only put one attachment on one email, and if I want multiple files translated, I usually send one email a day because I find that I will only get the most recent file I sent translated if I send many at one time. When sending, leave the Subject field blank, and you don't have to put anything in the Message Body. If you want to read the file in the Book Reader, you'll probably want a plain text file. The email you get back will have an attachment which is your translated file, but the information will also be in the message itself. HTH. Maria
