I'm in the same boat a you are...there are no other viable alternatives to the stock pdf viewer...you could try to install nitdroid and use an Android pdf viewer...just make sure you install a version of nitdroid compatible with your firmware

Is it possible to run some PDF readers from N900 repositories? Nitroid doesn't have voicecalls features and i love MeeGo interfaces, i don't want to revert back to Android

If those PDF's are e-books, isn't it a better option to convert them into something more palatable for mobile devices, like ePub or HTML? I guess Calibre can do this. Or try to obtain ePub-versions online. There are two ePub free readers in the store for the N9, both are fine readers.

They aren't ebook but newspaper with images and complex formatting. If i try to convert to any ebook formats, it appears unreadable at all

you may use any debian pdf reader. Just install easy debian.

No you need HarmChom to run debian applications into Meego Harmattan.
I'm desperate, it still doesn't work for me but I don't know what step is wrong in what I do, so no progress. I remember how much Easy Debian was awsome on the N900, it opens the way to many many new possibilities and applications, I really like to have it running on the N9 too. Rcolistete might plan to provide .deb files someday to make the installation easier, I really hope it will solve my problem, and I'm looking forward to trying it.

no chance to have a native OSS PDF Reader for N9...
I have a 60+ pages pdf and it's very annoying to read it with Documents app: it's too slooooow to render on pinch to zoom or to render the single pages if scrolling is pretty faster.
Can you suggest me a more faster opensource/free PDF reader to use on N9?
Thanks
