I haven't been able to get JPilot to install any files.  KPilot, however, 
works just fine.

You probably don't have it in the correct location.  They need to be in a 
directory called /PALM/Launcher (I don't think case is sensitive, but that's 
how it is on my card).  Plus, on my Palm, the files were converted from PDF 
to PDB (which I did on a Windows PC), so just copying them may not be enough.

It's entirely probable that someone has created a utility to convert PDF 
files 
in to the Palm PDB format, and then you might be able to just copy them over. 
 
I would search SourceForge.net for that.
