Title: Formatting PDFs for handheld computers
Post by: GreatWolf on February 27, 2003, 05:41:24 PM
I just recently received the use of a Palm Pilot through work, and I have discovered the wonder of Adobe Reader for the Palm.  I read Ron's "Mongrel" on the Palm and I had sent Clinton's "Paladin" across.  However, a regular PDF doesn't always translate well to the Palm, primarily due to fancy formatting.  Has anyone considered laying out a separate version of a PDF game specifically for the Palm?  Any advantages to doing this?  Any reason why this is a silly idea?  Just curious if anyone else out there has thought about this.

Title: PDFs for Palm

I've actually been working at creating PDFs for Palm. Nothing worth showing yet but when I have it working I'll update all of my PDFs to include a Palm version.
