I have some pdf files located on a http server:

Like:

http://domain.com/files/file1.pdf

http://domain.com/files/file1.pdf

http://domain.com/files/file1.pdf

I need to display these files on a mobile application using java me.

I tried to display them by opening Google Docs Viewer with platformRequest. However it seems Google Docs Viewer uses ajax and many mobile browsers does not support it.

Is there an alternative for "Google Docs Viewer" for mobile devices ? Or is there a better solution for this problem ?

Unless you have something can interpret the PDF on the phone, you may need to convert the PDF to images on the server for display purposes.

OK the only solution is to convert the pdf files to html (thumbnail images) Do you know a .net library to do this?

GhostScript can to convert PDF files to jpgs (I have a C# wrapper for this and will share it, just email me, address on profile page) Or you can use a commercial component for instance from Tall Components. (I think they also have a free thumbnailing component)
