"RepliGo represents a breakthrough in document conversion technology and mobility. In a matter of seconds, virtually any document you have on your PC can be transferred to your handheld device while maintaining the document’s original look and feel. This includes Microsoft® Office documents, Adobe® PDF files, Web pages and hundreds of other formats. Once on your device, documents can easily be viewed, printed, and shared with others using the supplied RepliGo Viewer."
Normal and zoomed mode of an Excel spreadsheet with chart.
It supports Word, Excel, Project, Adobe PDF, Visio, MapPoint, Money, Word Perfect, Lotus 1-2-3, Adobe Illustrator, Corel Draw and others. Where applicable it will reflow the document for the smaller Pocket PC screen, and can shrink the file up to 50%. It is just a viewer and does require the conversion to happen on the desktop, so files you receive in an email won't work. All Pocket PCs are supported and you need ActiveSync 3.1 or higher on the desktop. 10MB is required on the desktop and about 550K on the Pocket PC. It is $49.95, but if you buy from Handango before February 21 affiliate link using the promotional code 614A745 you get $10 off. There is a 14 day trial version at the Cerience site.
Update: Ok, just installed it. Wow! :crazyeyes: It adds an icon for conversion to Excel, Word and IE, but for all other apps, you simply hit File|Print then pick the Repligo printer. So, as long as your app can print on the desktop, Repligo can "convert" it for viewing on your Pocket PC. Buying a copy today! Look for a full review by next week. Oh, it also includes its own print drivers and will print to IR or any printer mapped to a COM port, like through Bluetooth!
