PDF viewer on a psp?

[riskzero]

I googled it but came up with many differing answer from homebrewing to custom firmwares etc also most of the articles were dated 06-07-08.

Is it possible with the newest firmware without having to hack my psp?

Thanks folks!

Nope, no official one.

They could, they have the comic reader, as well as apparently some sort of e-book reader built into the firmware that is used for PSN downloads to show the manual. Not to mention that one for CFW that someone wrote.

But...

Still, it's an idea on the new Share ideas blog

So vote for it

PDF Raders are homebrew only

You may be able to avoid CFW. I have a program on my computer that converts text documents to picture snapshots for the PSP. Im at work and cant recall the name, but if you googled "psp text to picture" or something along those lines you might find it. Its more limited than a dedicated pdf viewer, but I have read several books from Project Gutenberg using that setup and your PSP remains legit.

There are also programs that will convert a PDF into a HTML file. I can't remember them, but I remember trying one of them to read a pdf on my PSP. Mixed results.
