I'll come out with a list soon of features to be put in 1.5, and this will probably make the list. For now check out the scrolling in 1.4<BR/><BR/>@anon: I'm looking into the exram stuff. Check in adobe to see if you can strip out all the image elements, and then you might be in business.JDBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04730255199682550071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8839728675837455322.post-7917023744027558602009-03-16T08:43:00.000-07:002009-03-16T08:43:00.000-07:00I maintain that that there should be two scrolling...I maintain that that there should be two scrolling modes: smooth and jump. Smooth would be as it is now. Jump would jump a full rectangle over or down with 10% overlap. Jumping off the right side of the page would bring you back to the left hand side, but one block down.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8839728675837455322.post-68218938387260185372009-03-12T07:48:00.000-07:002009-03-12T07:48:00.000-07:00I thank you very much for the iniciative, for this...I thank you very much for the iniciative, for this is something I´ve been waiting for some time now.<BR/>In the tests I made, the major problem has to do with memory, for it won´t open pdf made of image pages instead of text (they are much heavier).<BR/><BR/>About the view and controls, both directions are very pleasing and the touch scroll is also a must. Perhaps the zoom could benifit of specific commands for "zoom in" and "zoom out". And a help page, telling what does each command would also be welcome.<BR/><BR/>A menu with less important commands is also something nice. Those would b:<BR/>-Skip 10 pages foward and back<BR/>-Bookmark a page (erase a bookmark)<BR/>-Toggle between bookmars<BR/><BR/>and such useful things...<BR/><BR/>If you have the opportunity take a look at the PSP's Book Reader, it's layout and functions are almost all that the PSP can offer and even without the DS's advantage it's very good.<BR/><BR/>Lastly, I can help but thank you again, for this project. I'm sure that many other people is as pleased with it as I am.<BR/><BR/>Good luck with the development. ^^Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8839728675837455322.post-56043324521807800292009-03-11T16:51:00.000-07:002009-03-11T16:51:00.000-07:00Oh, and a suggestion for D-Pad usage:Have it do bo...Oh, and a suggestion for D-Pad usage:<BR/>Have it do both panning AND page changes, by use of a modifier button.

I have a ~4MB HP Notebook Service Guide and am working on disassembling the notebook to de-solder the faulty and re-solder a new power plug (very common issue with all sodding notebooks). The only portable device I have with which to view PDFs is the thing I'm working on, so hoped this would allow me to refer to the guide while I'm working, which is in a location far from either of my desktops. I likely don't have enough ink to print out the 200+ pages, nor would I want to buy that much ink for something I hope I'll never need again. I do have Acrobat Professional, so maybe I can edit it to have only the pages I need, but this may not help...<BR/>As is, I can only view the first page. Trying to merely go to page 2 gives an "out of memory" error or somesuch. Don't know how much usable RAM the DS has, but apparently it's not anywhere close to enough to make a project like this nearly as useful as it ought to be. I do have the M3 DS Real, which I made sure came with a slot-2 card for GBA. This was an absolute must, due to the fact that the GBA still has a much higher percentage of real games (not Generic Minigame Compilation #5982 For Non-Gamers, etc.) than the DS does currently, or likely ever will from the looks of it. Would it be feasible to make your app use the RAM on a Slot-2 card such as this, or would it have to be one of those RAM cards designed for using a web browser? I don't know if there's any difference.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8839728675837455322.post-19270396098012404182009-03-10T19:25:00.000-07:002009-03-10T19:25:00.000-07:00I think the mode to allow you to drop formatting w...I think the mode to allow you to drop formatting would be great. Look at Adobe Palm Reader for Palm Pilots, it formats things by taking the text and putting it in a format that is viewable, and easily scrollable.
