i downloaded a checklist for a320 in fs 2004 and its in adobe format.but i dont know how to add it so i can open it in flight sim.so if u know plz help.

For a checklist to be available from the Kneepad you must place the file in the aircraft's main folder, for example; the checklist for the default b737 is in the ..\Aircraft\B737\.. folder, and named 'boeing737-400_check.htm'

The kneeboard will read either .htm or .txt files (not .pdf) so you would have to convert the file. The file name is generally in the form 'xxxx_check.htm'. There must also be an entry in the aircraft.cfg file [fltsim.x] section, for the b737 example its:

kb_checklists=boeing737-400_check

My guess, is if it is in .pdf format it is designed to be printed out and used on a real kneeboard/clipboard for realism.

so do i have have to change the file name to .htm or i have to like copy it all and put it in notepad then add it to kneeboard?

The actual method is as Dave describes.......

   To get the PDF file into htm format I personally would have to open the .PDF file (Adobe Reader) then save as a .txt which is the only format allowed in my Adobe reader........I then open the .txt file in my Works WP and save it as  .htm with the file name you need it to have, then follow Dave's instructions...commoner

You could just use the .txt file .... but I prefer to keep all such files in .htm format.
