Android Pdf Viewer

Anyone know why Android Adobe PDF reader cannot always open PDF files... seems to defeat its purpose?

I've got a bog standard Samsung GS2 with the 16GB memory dual core, so I'd have though Adobe or the free Polaris office PDF viewers could open all my PDF files. Not so, when I try and open a scan PDF of a 30 pages 1.7MB file it says memory not enough! My Android Kindle viewer on same phone can open it, so whats the deal with Adobe.... had similar issues with Adobe on a previous Windows Mobile 6.5 phone on similar data files.

I have a Samsung Captivate (Galaxy S variant) with Android 2.3.5.

I am able to open/view PDF files, no issues. Maybe you don't have the right application?

pdf_001 is ~ 1.8 MB/27 pages (a PC PSU manual)

pdf_002 is ~ 3.0 MB/99 pages (a router manual)

Must be something to do with the PDF file itself perhaps. I'm using latest Adobe on Android 2.3.3 so it should work. Some big PDF files open ok, some smaller don't. This error message on a simple PDF scan of a 30 page passport that will not open with Adobe.

Seems to be related to how the PDF is saved in first place. The file was made with Adobe Acrobat X using different compression, version compatibility settings and then opens ok within Android. A crap shoot in other words.
