One thing that I don't like is when some of these app developers nickel and dime you to death.

Actually, if you own a full version of Documents to Go, the PDF and email add-ons are free. Its only the m500/505 bundled version where you have to pay $20 to get the new functionality. I just upgraded my D2G 3.0 to the 3.04 version which comes with the add-on two days ago, and the PDF viewer works quite well.

Thanks, I missed that when I was putting the article together, don't ask me how. I've updated the article with the correct info.

Will the new add-in support (view) the images within the PDF file?

PDFs, as viewed by Documents on the Go, are just text. Graphics get omitted, and if there is a page with just graphics, it gets turned into a note saying that the page only contained graphics. Every page was like that when I tried converting some of the PalmSource 2000 slides.
