It works fine here on my Handspring Pro, with both Plucker and its documents stored in a 16MB Flash Module expansion card. > Will the pdf reader migrate from a web app to be part of the plucker > desktop? Aportis has a PDF converter that does essentially the same thing as the web app: extracts all _text_ from the PDF to a doc file. It does _not_ preserve formatting or import graphics. You could then use Doc Reader under Windows to convert the Doc file to a text file, and use Convert to Plucker to put that in Plucker format. (Yes, Convert to Plucker works on plain text files.) Doc Reader is a freeware app by Mike Pickering. You can find it at http://www.geocities.com/mpicker0/DocReader/DocReader.htm > I'm using plucker on Windows.

I use a third-party app called "Pilot Install", which will let you put pretty much anything on your Pilot. Among other things, it will convert text files to doc files on the fly.
