I've looked at my screen with a strong magnifying glass and it does seem to be true that Word doesn't smooth the fonts while Acrobat Reader for Pocket PC does. I can't find a way of turning off the smoothing effect, I wonder if there is one.

But I'm wondering if the problem everyone is having with Adobe Reader for Pocket PC has something to do with the pixel doubling that Acrobat Reader uses natively.

I've got a Dell Axim X51v with VGA resolution running Windows Mobile 5. When I first used Adobe Reader small text was not readable, it was so smoothed out. Also the line illustrations with thin lines were all light gray and not really visible until I zoomed way in.

Now I've got the OzVGA hack installed, so now I'm actually able to use all my 640x480 pixels. Using close up or magnifying glasses I can actually read full page Acrobat documents in one screen, the text and illustrations are crisp and clear one pixel wide with only a hint of smoothed edges. I've checked. I can read both Acrobat and Word documents down to small text being 4 pixels high. The slight smoothing in Acrobat makes the fonts just a little less clear than in Word.

What type of Pocket PC are you using. Does it have QVGA or VGA resolution?
