When you’re stuck sitting in an uncomfortable chair you try to avoid certain positions which cause extreme amounts of pain. With that in mind, after failing to open quite a few pdf files on my Nokia E61 I simply just stopped trying for fear of making my phone lock up or getting an out of memory error.

I just read this review over at E-Series about an application called Pdf+

Ed says that it handles pdf’s far better than adobe acrobat 1.5 le. I’ll take his word on that and propose this question: why isn’t better pdf support built in?
