Hello,

I hope I can get quick help:

In Windows Ce 5.0 is the option to add a pdf file viewer. If you add this
component the licence is Proffessional Plus.

It seems that there are no file viewer anymore in Windows Ce 6.0. Are there
any other opportunities?

Thanks.

Regards,

Mario

If you are working on a ARM-based device you _may_ be able to use one
of the Windows Mobile PDF readers.

There is a version from Adobe and some "compatible" viewers:
http://www.foxitsoftware.com/pdf/mobile/winmobile.htm

This viewer supports many formats, including PDF:
http://www.picsel.com/index.php/solutions/view/C12/

This is a beta WM viewer licensed under the GPL:
http://pocketxpdf.sourceforge.net/
It's based on XPDF:
http://www.foolabs.com/xpdf/home.html
and they provide also commercial licensing and customization through:
http://www.glyphandcog.com/


This viewer is for windows but is release under GPL, so you may able
to port it to CE:

This is also a GPL licensed library that you may use to implement a
simple viewer:

You may try to contact the authors/distributors to check if they
provide a CE-based release (with no WM dependencies) and to know if
they allow you to ship their software with your device.
