        Yes and No depending on what type of PDF, Tool, and trick you have on your
system.

        Here is part of the PDF Nuvi 1200/1300/1400 User Manual.

        Garmin is just a joke, and I don't know when they get tired of telling
joke to spend the energy to improve the product (especially software which
they are so bad).


=======================================

Calibrating the Screen
1. Turn off the nüvi.
2. Hold the upper-left corner of the
screen while turning on the nüvi.
3. Release the power key when the
Garmin screen appears.
4. Continue to hold the upper-left
corner of the touch screen for 30
seconds until a white screen with
“Press dot” appears.
Updating the Software
1. Connect the nüvi to your
computer using the mini-USB
cable. The AutoPlay menu opens.
2. Double-click on to open the
myGarmin Agent download
page. If the AutoPlay menu does
not open, or you are on a Mac
computer, go to www.garmin
.com/agent.
3. Follow the on-screen instructions.
After you have installed myGarmin
Agent, you will be prompted to
open myDashboard when you
connect your nüvi to your computer.
myDashboard checks your nüvi
for current software and provides
additional information about your
nüvi.
Clearing User Data
important: This deletes all
user-entered information.
1. Hold your finger on the lower-right
corner of the nüvi screen while
turning on the nüvi.
2. Keep your finger pressed until the
pop-up window appears.
3. Touch Yes to clear all user data.
All original settings are restored.
Any items that you have saved are

PDF documents can inhibit your ability to copy text or pictures in the
document security properties.

Of course this applies mostly if you are using Adobe apps to view them.
