Pocket PC users get a hand from Adobe Systems with the introduction of Adobe Acrobat Reader for Pocket PC.

Acrobat Reader for Pocket PC, which can be downloaded free of charge from the Adobe.com Website at http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html, allows mobile professionals and others to view content in the Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF) on devices based on the popular Pocket PC software from Microsoft Corp.

Acrobat Reader for Pocket PC extends Adobe Acrobat 5.0 software and Adobe PDF to a broad range of devices, including HP Jornada, Compaq iPAQ and Casio CASSIOPEIA Pocket PC personal digital assistants (PDAs). Adobe PDF files created using Acrobat 5.0, as well as Adobe InDesign 2.0 and Adobe PageMaker 7.0, will offer the best reading experience on Pocket PC devices because they are automatically tagged with information on page structure and organization. This allows for easier and more reliable text reflow on a handheld device.

Acrobat Reader for Pocket PC is immediately available free of charge for the HP Jornada 520, 540, and 560, Compaq iPAQ H3630, H3635, H3670, H3135, H3760, H3850, and H3870, and Casio CASSIOPEIA E-125, EM500, E-115, and E-200 Pocket PC PDAs. The product supports the Pocket PC and Pocket PC 2002 operating systems, is compatible with Windows 98, Windows ME, Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, and Windows XP, and requires Microsoft ActiveSync 3.1 or 3.5 (ActiveSync 3.5 is not supported on Windows NT 4.0) and a Pocket PC device with minimum memory of 16 MB. Acrobat Reader for Pocket PC is initially available in English only. Support for other languages is expected in future versions.
