As I described in an earlier post, we have created and continue to refine a solution for bringing Space Database availability and marketing data to smart phones. We've done this by creating 'miniature' websites that are formatted for small screens and are easy to interact with. 
We have dispensed with CSS layouts, JavaScript and Flash. We were linking to our standard marketing PDF files and this was working well. But then, some clients reported that these would only display as blank pages on some BlackBerries. After a recent upgrade on our server, the same thing happened to us. It turns out that the way that the BlackBerry service interpret and 'distills' PDF files now removes the drawing information on linked PDFs (BB still display PDF drawings sent as attachments).
It used to work, but then it didn't...
But we've fixed it! We've now altered the service to automatically deliver .jpg versions of the marketing drawings. This now makes the site function of the simplest devices and browsers.
