Adobe Reader with Bionic

[neil154]

I had Adobe Reader installed on my Thunderbolt and everything was fine. I switched to a Bionic and it installed fine. When I open Adobe Reader it says there were no recent opened files (obviously since I just installed) but it does not give me any method to navigate to any place where my PDF files are. There is a home button but that does not help. If I use a file manager to geta PDF to open and I tell the Bionic to use Adobe Reader it opens fine.

How do I get Adobe Reader to navigate to the file area so I can choose the PDF I want?

dunno. My Bionic puts files that I download, into the document folder for adobe reader without me having to do anything special.

 

[1812dave]

the folder is the "download" folder, on the internal card. Adobe reads that folder...

Thanks, that really pretty poor design to allow only opening files in 1 specific folder. I can't remember seeing another app that does not allow navigating to another folder.

Download ES File Explorer, allows you to open docs from anywhere, dropbox, download folder, etc.

Thanks I have a file manager already but Adobe is just complicating life by doing a very poor design

What happens if you navigate to the file you want to view and open them, does it open in the Adobe Reader? I bet it will.

So open a file manager first, not the Reader. But you should end up in the same place.

You are correct except for the fact that I use Documents To Go (Full Version) for my default PDF app. The only time that I want to use Adobe Reader to open a PDF file is when the PDF file is a PDF Portfolio (multiple PDFs in 1 file) since this is the only app for an Android which I found that will open it up.
