Can anybody recommend a pdf reader for big size pdf files.
I'm trying to open 30Mb pdf file but Acrobat keeps telling "Not enough memory", although I have lots of free memory.

Yea, i could use some PDF related help too. Pretty much every PDF file i try to open requires some friggin password or something. Wtf? It cant be the files, is my adobe PDF reader unsigned or something?

lamborg,
If you do not mind me asking, what do you have in a PDF file of that size?

I have thousand page Ebooks that are only 6 MB and thats about the largest files I have. Anything else that I have that would require any larger file is broken into parts.

crimsonspec,
Since the acrobat reader in the N95 is preinstalled as part of the ROM it does not need any type of signing. I am more inclined to say you are downloading PDF's from a bad source.

Trust me, the files are legit. And as for the size, i am using the phone mainly for game guides. Those pdf are full of hi rez pics and maps and loads of text so they can be quite big. Up to 60mb. Far Cry 2 game guide is like 33mb.

I don't mind at all.
I have an A+ study book, origianl size of the book was about 30 Mb. After a few manipulations, like croping unnecessary pages and compressing the book, the file size now is 23Mb. The preinstalled Acrobat still says "Not enough memory". I tried to use Pdf+ reader, few versions of it actually, but it's got some kind kind of bugs or something, that it makes it unusable.

yeah the default PDF reader sucks, I have the NYC subway map on my N95 and whenever I try to open it, I don't get memory errors but the map is so detailed that it doesn't render properly.

The only solution I have found, is to split the file to a few parts. File of 3-4 Mb opens perfectly.

yes, lamborg, I think larger files should be in smaller parts. I have some stuff like that and it is not stuff that I made. From what i have experienced on the net the 'proper' way is to not make files so large and instead make a set of files.

crimsonspec, pardon my comment but when a file prompts you for a password and you do not have that password it is generally an indication the file was not intended for your use.

tenzen, come on, you know you don't need all that useless info on the PDF version. Just right click the GIF map and save that instead. It looks great on the N95 screen at 100% view. Seriously, I don't know what the hell is up with that file. I think there is some kind of layer thing going on that the N95's pdf reader does not understand and thats why all the land is black and not beige.
