How do I view Adobe on Mobiles?

I have a Sony Ericsson K800i, and wondered if there was a way of viewing Adobe documents on it?
I consider myself to be a male feminist. Is that allowed?

    What documents do you mean? I'm assuming you mean pdfs (but could be flash, photoshop, pngs.....). If you mean PDF files then as far as I know there aren't any viewer available, you'd probably have to convert the document into something else first that your k800i could read (plain text, html).

    They say it's genetic, they say he can't help it, they say you can catch it - but sometimes you're born with it

    If you downloaded the zip you'll probably have to extract the jar and run it on your phone, not try to open the zip.

    It says it on my phone when I go to the WAP site it sent me. I've managed to download the program to my PC and put it on the phone that way, but when I now go to install, it says 'Operation failed'. How do I extract the jar? (Sorry to sound thick! lol)

    once you have the jar file, just drop it into the 'other' folder on the phones memory card using the data cable. disconnect the phone and wait for the phone to reboot then open the file manager > other and find the app and hit install.

    if you get operation failed when installing the jar, try another app/game and if that comes up operation failed as well, then you have a problem with the filesystem on the phones internal memory
