Hacking noobish question concerning PDF

[greenslumber]

Is there any way to read PDF text files off a M3DSS?
Can I do it off moonshell or somethin?
Thanks in advance

No. The PDF format is too complicated for the DS to read, or so I am told

oh, no

i now have to copy it all into a wordpad document, noooooooooo

 

[bobrules]

you can download a pdf to jpg converter.

 

[greenslumber]

eh? and what? this will convert each page to a jpeg which i can then view in moonshell? is that it?
thanks

yeah pdf takes too much cpu, ds would only be able to be programmed to read some of them..not really worth the time to program.

 

[greenslumber]

could i possibly convert them then to .CBR and read the documents in comicbookDS?
or will the Picto DS app not do text?
thanks everyone

Yes, that will work.

I found a convertor to convert each to a PNG, then feed it into the imgview program by matey who did Moonshell, and voila!
