I thought iPhone could only read pdf's via the Mail app?
I could be wrong though - as I don't have one yet.

But I gather you have hacked / cracked / and added to your iPhone (obviously)

Hmm, works PDFViewer works for me on my 1.1.4 iPod Touch - try re creating the folder (in this case /var/root/Media/PDF ) and then chmod it to 777? Works for me, so that's all I'm saying :P

Yes. Make sure to chmod 777 /var/root/Media and /var/root/Media/PDF, or just "chmod -R /var/root/Media" - after that, it worked for me ok.

You can chmod via a FTP Client (eg. FileZilla), or you could do as coljac said and run
Quote:
chmod -R /var/root/Media
via ssh on your iPhone/iPod Touch.

Let's try again :-)

Which version is your iPhone/iPod Touch running, and what version of PDFViewer are you using as well.

oh another thing that might help is did you install it via Installer, or manually?
