Bentley PDF on iPond or iPhone:

I have tried and tried to view my Bentley PDF on an iPod touch, where
I keep and view PDF User Manuals of a number of things. Because of the
enormity of the Bentley, I have had no success in reading the document
in Files.

For those who don't know, Files is an iPhone app that comes in free
and paid versions and lets you drag pretty much anything like a word
doc, spreadsheet, jpg, or PDF onto a folder on your desktop and it
uses your local wireless network to put it on the iPhone, and lets you
organize the stuff in folders.

I have Acrobat Professional and have chopped out sections to make the
PDF smaller, but to no avail. I'm using an 8 meg version that should
have plenty of memory left for viewing.

Is anyone else doing this successfully, and if so, what are you using?

Jim
