iPod touch PDFViewer Question

[WILLDOGS]

I placed a pdf in /var/root/media/PDF (i had to create the PDF directory)

Now when I run pdfviewer on my IPT, the PDF is listed as a selection, but when I open it up the PDF is blank.

Any ideas?

This is the PDF:
www.mta.info/nyct/maps/subwaymap.pdf

it can't handle it, for me I dl that subway map and install apache on my iPt and put that pdf in the webserver folder and run the safari and type in http://localhost/subwaymap.pdf

it load up fine.

Yeah that PDF viewer hasn't worked for me at all, hopefully it'll be updated soon, it does warn that it's an alpha when you install it.

Guess it is too large for PDFViewer... The Apache trick is a neat one. Shall try it when time allows. I'd like to put the IPT and IPhone manual on-board 🙂

After I install Apache and restart my ipod.. i put the .pdf file under WebServer.... went to safari.. typed in http://localhost/file.pdf and it wouldn't work. what am i doing wrong? 🙁

If you're using OSX you can download an app called filemark which lets you bookmark PDFs (and also higher res images) in safari which you can access offline.

Open PDF with filemark
Save link to bookmarks
Sync bookmarks in iTunes
Done.

The PDF Viewer does work, it just takes an obscene amount of time to load. The screen is blank because it's still loading.
The App isn't worth using yet.
