Just downloaded a copy on a Android phone – is there a way of displaying the PDF from the ZIP file directly.
It says file not understood.

Case of transfering to PC and either using VRPC DL – or extracting PDF file out of Zip.

Tried copying PDF to old Tablet and reading it from there – that seems to work.

Interesting comparing Archive mag with output on Tablet.

No sound read output with Tablet PDF reader -

I wonder if !Textease could be used to read out the PDF mags?

Find an app that can do it…pretty much any competent file manager ought to allow one to read PDFs in archives without all the hassle of extracting them first.

Well, if it’s a PDF then it ought to look more or less the same.

What app? Does it support Read Aloud? Is the PDF encrypted or otherwise restricted? Etc.
