Question:
How do I install PDF To Go 2.0 on my BlackBerry smartphone?
Answer:
PDF To Go 2.0 is part of the Premium Edition of Documents To Go 2.0, and is installed separately from the other Documents To Go applications. The easiest (and recommended) way to install PDF To Go is to do so "Over The Air" (OTA) as described below. This method requires an internet connection on the handheld. If an OTA installation is not possible, it can be installed by copying a set of installation files to the BlackBerry from a computer. Both methods of installation are described below.
NOTE: PDF To Go 2.0 requires Documents To Go Premium Edition v2.000 or higher (purchase or trial).
