I went to the links that you provided an actually installed the Adobe reader for PalmOS. I believe the confusion lies in the fact that the download is a Windows executable file which you must install on your PC. The reason why you must install this program is because the Adobe Reader for PalmOS doesn't actually read native PDF files. The Windows program actually converts the PDF file into a file format that the Adobe Reader for PalmOS (PRC file) actually reads. In this way, it is very much like "Documents to Go". To get the Adobe Reader for PalmOS PRC file, you have to perform a hotsynch after the Windows installation finishes. You must use the Windows program that is installed during the installation process to convert your PDF file to a file format that the PalmOS version can handle. I hope this helps.
