my way to solve the no reflow in adobe LE v2.5

---

I do not want to flash the whole ROM , so I used another way to fix the ADR LITE.
I extracted the exe. file of adobe reader LE from my diamond (2.09M instead of 2.01M of HD )

Tried two ways:
1. replacement of the original ROM's exe file. This worked but it ended up with failure in direct opening of the PDF files.
A grey screen will appear after the start of adobe reader lite. Then you will need to select your target file again by browsing.

2. copy the exe file into another folder, then renamed it as another name e.g. ADRLv25.exe.
If you start this ADRLv25.exe, then you can use reflow.

If you kick the PDF file directly, the original ROM ver will be started without a grey screen. But this ver has no grey screen.

Interesting - thanks, I'd like to check it out.
So what exactly do I have to do with the exe file you provided?
Do I run it in my HD and install it or does it act as a stand-alone app?
If something goes wrong, can I get the original one back?

You just need to copy and paste it can run it alone.
Try not to replace the original one on your rom.

Replacement will end up with failure in direct launching of PDF files. The program still works but you will need to open the file by browsing in the adobe reader lite manually.

Or you could try iinstalling this cab of your file. Seems to work for me and is completely uninstallable from Remove Programs.

Thanks.

WOW - An absolute MUST HAVE!

Thank you both for your input!! I ended up installing the cab from "Prof. Yaffle" in the post above to have the uninstall option if needed.

It worked like a charm! Now I can open pdf files just like before (directly out of a folder) and then under Tools--View I can select "reflow".
This is a MUST HAVE for a Pocket PC!! I can't believe they took that out of the version of AdobeReader that is shipped with the HD.

I'm so glad I found this thread. Thanks for posting it guys!

I notice now that when I use fullscreen mode, I cannot get out of it. I used to double-tap (or tap and hold - I can't remember which) and I could exit fullscreen mode. Now, I have to press the HTC Home button to get out of Adobe Reader and then in the task manager I have to close Adobe Reader, then restart it.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Simplest solution without installing anything:

BTW: double-tapping is working fine to exit fullscreen....

Even better. Excellent find.

Thanks.

AWESOME - even better. Thank you for the link!
I uninstalled the cab I had installed earlier.
Did a soft reset.
Then I did the simple registry change (current_user/software/adobe/adobereaderle.25/ EnableReflow 0 to 1)


And now it all works perfectly. I have reflow and I can double tap to get out of full screen mode.
You know, it would be nice if double-tapping brought you both in and out of fullscreen mode. I wonder if that be done somehow.
But in any case - I'm so glad I got this sorted out.


EDIT: This tip should be added to HD Tweak (I already sent the developer a PM about it). I also added it to the wiki list of HD tips.

I have another question.
How come in landscape mode, when I use my finger to scroll, it scrolls like crazy regardless of how soft I flick? It's really hard to stop it and I end up losing my place in the text.
FYI - This happens whether in reflow mode or not.

EDIT: The only way to get it to work is to gently flick and immediately tap the screen once. I guess I can live with that.
