The 2.0 version also adds a desktop application for the Macintosh, satisfying a significant voice in Adobe's customer base. They also added language support for French, German, Italian, and Spanish.

What's missing
The Adobe Acrobat Reader for Palm OS mailing list has low volume, but people have some common questions and desires. One of the most common features lamented as missing from Adobe Acrobat Reader for Palm OS is the preservation of links. This is highest on my wish list for enhancements. I understand why Adobe will not support arbitrary links, but I really wish that an inline table of contents would remain functional when downloaded to the Palm handheld. The reader can use the known structure of the document to present a table of contents, but I would rather use the one that the creator of the document assembled where available. Likewise, if the author of a document chose to provide excellent cross-references, I would like to be able to us them. In fact, I feel that they're more important on the handheld than on the desktop because of the limited speed and screen size of Palm OS devices.

Bookmarks would also help immensely on the Palm handheld, but they were omitted. Adobe Acrobat Reader for Palm OS will take you back to the spot you last viewed in the most recent document. If you need to reference many locations in multiple documents, it becomes cumbersome quickly.

Another common question is whether forms are supported. Adobe has not yet included support for forms, nor have they indicated such intent. The latter is not surprising, given that I have seen no mention of future feature plans.

Some find the lack of support for embedded fonts significant. Given the storage these fonts would require, it seems a practical omission. However, this prevents use on documents with unsupported languages, as noted for the Xiino reference manual in my review of Palm OS Web browsers (at http://www.palmpowerenterprise.com/issues/issue200208/browser001.html and http://www.palmpower.com/issues/issue200209/browser0902001.html).

Support issues
One of the other common topics in the user forums revolves around device support. There are several reports of difficulties with Sony Clie handhelds, as well as occasional reports against other devices such as one for the Palm m130. There also seem to be issues with installing as a user with Administrator privileges and trying to use it as another user. Palm OS 3.5 or higher (including 5.0) is required, as well as Palm Desktop 4.0 or 4.01. I have seen reports of problems with Palm OS 3.5 on non-Palm OS devices, but it seems far from universal.

I have encountered one or two problems converting and viewing files. I have had frequent problems opening files on network drives from the desktop application. I have also found one document (the SEI CMMI Full Staged model at http://www.sei.cmu.edu/pub/documents/02.reports/pdf/02tr012.pdf) that converts cleanly but will not open. Attempting to open it on the handheld gives the Adobe Acrobat Reader for Palm OS "I'm thinking" icon and then returns back to the file index.
