PDF Question
 
Hi, I'm new to blackberries so i have a lot of questions. I want to ask you guys if there is a free PDF Viewer for Blackberry Perl 8100, and if yes can you guys give me some links so i can install it its, very urgent and i want to do this ASAP. I hope everyone understood what i'm saying.

I don't know of a free one, but you might try repligo or beamberry for a trial version. Look for more info on either in the Aftermarket Software forum.

good luck.

About that repligo does it connect to internet when you use it every time? I have an ebook that i want to read while i'm traveling thats my only purpose and i hope the program doesn't connect to internet each time to use. More replies or suggestions are greatly apriciated :)

As far as I know the short answer is no... You can not save a PDF to the memory card and then put it in your 8100. The way that you can "read" PDF's that come as an attachment is by having your 8100 on a BES server that is running MDS services. The MDS services "read" the PDF and then send the data down to your device that it can actually read.

Try eOffice. It saves files to BB memory - no need for connectivity to open and edit them, no additional data charges

@OP: the short simple answer is that there is no official PDF Viewer from Adobe, and no standalone aftermarket PDF viewer that's worth your time. You are not alone, this is one of my biggest gripes with the BlackBerry platform (something that all S60 and WM5 handsets can do without any problems).

The closest you might come is to convert (somehow) your PDF into an eBook, and use the MobiPocket Reader (free) application to read the eBook off your SD card.
