Is she using them in the native Word format?  If she lets D2G convert
the handheld copy to D2G's own format, it may be faster.  Note, I have
NOT tried that so I'm only guessing.

But not read them... IMO, the screen on the Treo is just too +small+ to
make use of most PDF files.

A PDF is basically an image of a document (yes, I know it's more than
that, but for uses such as this, it's an image).  You're going to
either wind up having it too small to read, or be constantly panning
and scrolling around just to see it.
