I am frustruated with the bundled Clearvue pdf viewer in the 4700 ROM. Even when I have installed Adobe 2.0, Clearvue automatically opens when an email pdf attachement is selected. To make things worst, Clearvue cannot open all pdf files. I spent a few nights digging through the registry and finally come out with something that works. The below assumes that you have already installed Adobe 2.0. Here it goes:

1. Copy the key in HKCR/pdffile/shell/open/command
The key should be the string that points to Adobe.

2. Paste the key to HKCR/pdffile/shell/opendoc/command
The key before pasting should be the string that points to Westec Clearvue. Hint: It may be good to copy the original key somewhere before pasting; just in case......you never know.

3. Reset.

Adobe should open when pdf files are selected in explorer as well as in mail attachments. I have tested. So far so good.

Let me know if the above works for you. Thanks.

IMPORTANT: Backup first.

how to copy?

You need a registry editor like PHM registry

Once you have downloaded and install, start it up and navigate through those keys mentioned.

what i did for my mini is to exclude installing clearvue files.. then i just install adobe ppc reader..

Unfortunately, there is no such option for 4700. Glad than you can exclude clearvue in your mini.
