I have looked for recommended pdf readers and evince no longer exists in maemo downloads and links to it no longer work...

Are there any decent pdf readers on the Nokia n900 or is it just that rubbish one that comes with the phone?

I am quite a novice and no other pdf readers will open as exe files!

Surely the maemo community has a decent one somewhere?

please help!!! thanks

Evince should still be available within extras-devel repository. Standard warnings about this repository apply.

I think the PDF Reader built into the phone is pretty good. But thats just me I guess.

I would agree if only you could adjust the size in smaller increments, as it is I can never get it to the right text size.

Just FYI, there are several interesting patches in bugzilla that should apply relatively easily to the Fremantle version as well (since it has changed so little).

You can get evince using easy debian. See if you like that better.
