Hmmm I dont have any problems downloading PDF's. I just click the link to download, then go to the "download" icon located in your apps and there it is.

its a MS webmail site. OTA. On my droid Inc Dolphin allows me to dl the pdf but on the xoom dolphin crashes and the stock browser fails on the droid inc and the motorola xoom.

arghhh not sure what to do. thanks.

Odd, I seem to think the stock browsers on both of those devices are fantastic. To each there own I guess...

I've been using Firefox Mobile on the Xoom, and for the most part it's been pretty excellent.

Aloha,
Just got my Xoom a couple of weeks ago. Still going through the 70 page owners manual. Does anyone know how to open mutliple PDF's on the Xoom. I have several saved as lyric files and need to have as many as 5 opened at once and then be able to swipe to the next as we do our worship. Mahalo for any help or direction.
