i installed adobe reader app on my rooted NC. When i open the app i see the message No PDF files available. i have pdfs in the library / my files which i have loaded with Calibre but tapping on any of these just opens them using the built-in pdf reader. I have read several postings stating that Adobe reader and other pdf reader apps work on NC but no one mentions if they had to adjust a setting, load pdfs to a special location or use a file manager app to associate the pdfs with the reader. Can someone tell me what the trick is?

pauls there are two "back-door" solutions, but neither is ideal. One is to navigate to where ever your PDF is (internal or sdcard) with a file manager. If you open the file from there, you should get the option of choosing your PDF reader (unless one has been made default; you can clear the defaults in the app manager if you like). The other solution involves making a widget-type shortcut on the desktop with Desktop Visualizer that points to your PDF and calls the file manager Astro when it's tapped. That will do the same thing (allow you to choose your reader).

Adobe reader works the same on all android devices. It only reads files on sd cards. The apps works the same on my htc hero, htc evo and nc.
ahh got ya...i figured some apps wouldn't work exactly the same on the nc as other officially supported devices, i know i still have problems loading google books, but i'm sure it works on other tablets.
You can also use the built in reader app on the nook. Don't open your pdf from Library because it forces you to use quickpdf. If you open the pdf from an app like astro or root explorer, it will prompt you to select a app to use. There's an app called Reader, you select that and it will read the PDF like it does books.

NONONONONONONO, please don't take what I said seriously...I was being...mildly sarcastic. It seems the last few days I am the only one who can see my posts. I feel invisible.Credit to all
Of course this is a community. The last thing I want to do is take credit for a solution...it's just a matter of sharing!
