Getting trouble with PDF file in your PDA?

I have downloaded some pdf files(ebook) from the internet, once i loaded them into my HTC P3300 PDA phone, i realized that they are hard to be read.
All the content exceed the PDA screen width and the never ending horizontal scroll causing the PDF ebook unreadable. I was very frustrated and start searching google for solution. Have tried to install all kind of PDF reader that I was able to download from the internet, but non of them really work.
At the end, I have found 2 solutions
1) Mobipocket
Step 1- install mobipocket into your pc, drag the pdf file you want to read into the mobipocket(pc version), let it to convert it for you.
Step 2 - transfer the converted ebook to your PDA phone. It works perfectly, no more horizontal scroll

Note: Mobipocket is a freeware, one of the must have software for your PDA.

2) Installed Adobe Reader 2.0 from Adobe website(www.adobe.com), if you are lucky, open the PDF(ebook) with Adobe Reader, check whether the "Reflow" button is clickable. If it is clickable, then you can so called "Reflow" the PDF and start reading :)
