Hello Foxit Software,
I have a few suggestions that would make "Foxit Reader for Pocket PC for WM 5.0" perfect
(perfect for OEMs because they can't bundle software that doesn't use features offered by WM5-devices, perfect for customers because software that neglects the usage of softkeys is just uncomfortable).
1.) WM5-devices have 2 Softkeys
For example:
Left-Softkey "Menu": Open, Options, ..., About FoxitReader..., Exit
Right-Softkey "Misc": Next Page, Previous Page, First Page, Last Page, Zoom In, Zoom Out, Fit to screen (height), Fit to screen (width), [ ] Auto Word Wrapping, [ ] Fullscreen, ...
2.) Automatic Word Wrap (AWW)
Quoting mzel: "avoiding horizontal scrolling" (as in Mobipocket)
Why?: Useful for people who just need to scan over some content; e.g. preparation for a meeting while not having a notebook at hand.
3.) If AWW is activated
Directional buttons have following effects:
Up, Down: Scroll up and down
Left, Right: Previous Page, Next Page
4.) Fullscreen
Select button: switches between Fullscreen (as in Mobipocket)
Estimated Time of Arrival of those features, let's say: next Milestone. :1_31: Could you confirm that? :1_07:
A short feedback from Foxit Software, would be greatly appreciated. :1_18:
Best Regards
Oliver

Thanks a lot, I've been waiting for this piece of software for years!:1_11:
It is probably ungateful of me to start with a gripe, but some of it makes the program unsuable.
The first and the biggest is the absence of the support for tagged pdf. Without this reading any standard document is a nightmare. The idea of avoiding the need for horizontal scroll brought out the whole slew of software - Mobipocket, Haali Reader, Netfront, etc.
Second, the up and down keys should go to the next/previous page at the end/beginning of the page. The need to tap a button on a screen to move ahead makes it impossible to read with one hand.
I am sure these are only a temporary shortcomings of a pre-release version.
Othervise - great job! Much lighter and faster then the original software, thanks again.
