I asked about doing this before on the boards, there was some interest, but no one knew how. I finally found out. It requires two programs, but is fairly easy to execute.

1. Fineprint. Its not freeware but not impossible to get free.
It acts as a printer on your computer, and will "print" a pdf file into a bunch of jpegs. Take these jpegs throw them in a folder and run it through....

2. Comic book DS. Makes your jpegs into .nds files. Put em on your DS, no patching required, load them with the "start" button.(Will not load when launched with A.)

Now I got my ds playing games, movies, music, and I can study off of it. There are some websites that you can download magazines from. The little magnifier on this program lets you read really small print. Lets just get a cell phone on this thing now.
