Cowon A2 and PDF

giantgreengoat · 04-15-2008, 11:23

I love the Cowon A2, but I would love it even more if I could open PDFs with it. Any suggestions? Thanks!

You have to just convert them... there isn't a pdf viewer, not sure if there's even a csd option. I've converted them (each page) to graphic images before for my A2.

Thanks. Thats what I thought, its seems to have the power for it, I wonder why it was not included.

There is a CSD option. Just download MTrans 1.1 from Cowon's site.

I use it quite alot, I have some eBooks and I have converted a lot of technical and programming documentation to variable results. Webpages, in my experience, are better saved and then edited to remove unnecessary navigation bars etc. or for speed, turned into plain text (if it doesn't require images).

Some people convert graphic novels and comic books to sets of images and apparently that works quite well.

The CSD viewer is not too bad, just don't expect it to be as good as proper PDF viewer.

If you are using vista, 1.01 printer driver wont work, you need to dl 1.02 mtrans for cowon a3 which also works for a2 on the cowonglobal.com site
