> Thank you for the useful info. Here is the question from another newbi (I
am about to start my first project):
> Does "Advanced Palm Programming" book teach you how to create .pdb file?
If not, where can I find detail info about it and could you give me the
link? I searched Palm Web, but could not find it.
> If I already have a PDF file, how do I create .pdb without retype
everything by hand. It is a 50 pages "Quick Reference Guide" which contains
text and tables. I want to move it to Palm. So user can tab on some title or
sub title to review the the topic in detail.
> Can anyone give me any ideas? I am using C, do not know Java and C++. I am
using MAC and CodeWarrior.
> Thank you very much
