Ola Tom�s e bem vindo, iSilo doesn't convert pdf's anyway.
Your options are: 1. Get the FREE acrobat reader for PALM OS http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readerforpalm.html This thing comes with a (slow) converter that converts your document on the PC and sets it up for hotsynching to the PALM. I find the usability of this reader pretty poor so I don't use it anymore. But it works and it's free. 2. Buy some payware PDF converter (search on www.palmgear.com, there are a few of them). 3. Convert the pdf to html, then use a second program like iSilo (payware) or Plucker (free) to convert and read on the palm. This is the solution I use. There's a freeware converter at: http://pdftohtml.sourceforge.net/ The main problem with 3 is that the linebreaks are all preserved in the PDF. This means that every single line break that was made just to fit within the page width (as opposed to paragraphs) is maintained, which ruins the formatting a bit on the palm. I use this script to try to fix that, but its only partially effective: #!/usr/local/bin/perl # copyright rhubarb 2003 # Takes output from pdftohtml and rewraps the paragraphs # use pdftohtml -i -noframes -nomerge <pdf_file> <html_file> my $pdffile = shift; my $htmlfile = shift; if ($htmlfile eq "") { ($htmlfile = $pdffile) =~ s/\.pdf/.html/i; # copy first then change pdf for html } open (OUTFILE, ">$htmlfile"); print "Processing file $pdffile to generate $htmlfile ...\n"; print " ... about to run \'pdftohtml -i -noframes -nomerge -stdout \"$pdffile\"\' ...\n"; open (HTML, "pdftohtml -i -noframes -nomerge -stdout \"$pdffile\" |") || die "Can't run pdftohtml on $pdffile $!"; print "... converted to html, reformatting ... \n"; # TODOadd a debug flag to save the html while (<HTML>) { s/^<hr>\n//i; # Remove the horz lines used for page breaks s/<a name=\d+><\/a>//i; # Remove the page number anchors s/([^.!?">]) <br>/$1 /i;# Replace space-<br> that isn't preceded by end of a sentence s/([a-zA-Z])<br>/$1 /i; # Replace <br> preceded by the end of a word s/([-,])<br>/$1 /i; # Replace <br> preceded by a non-end-of-sentence char. s/ \n/ /; # Strip lbreaks after space (leave break after <br>) print OUTFILE $_; } close (OUTFILE); print "Output in $htmlfile.\n"; Best of luck Chris > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of > Tom�s N��ez Lirola > Sent: Friday, April 30, 2004 11:18 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: [Off Topic] How can I read PDF on my Palm OS, using > Linux as my desktop? > > Hi > Sorry for the off-topic.
