Tagged PDF file are rendered in Pocket Acrobat like HTML pages, so there is
no need to scroll the page left and right. This is a very useful option that
probably on the Nokia 770 pdf reader is not considered. I would to ask if
there are some apps on the Nokia, which have a better screen than today
Pocket PCs, that allows to render correctly tagged pdf. Pdf to HTML conversion
is not a good option, in particular in documents that uses formulas,
images, etc.

There are free programs out there that can convert the PDF to a Picture (jpg and more). That way you can easily read MUCH faster.

Also you can't resize without pixelation.
I tried that solution.

To be sincere, I don't appreciate very well these type of tricks, when
in Windows Mobile (WM) world reading tagged pdf files is well supported.
What an user want, in my opinion, is read tagged pdf files in a more
comfortable way (thank also to the high quality screen characteristics
of the 770) compared to WM world. The first use of the 770 is "reading web
pages". I expect that the second use is "reading documents".
Does someone tried to execute Linux acroread on the 770?

My experience with the integrated pdf viewer and with evince is spoiled by that with a proprietary program for symbian-operated smartphones, i.e. picsel previewer (or proviewer, I can't remind now). Never seen such a quick page rendering - at least on my nokia 9500. I'd love something like it on the 770.
