I think the current version (0.5) of droidreader is still broken for
some features. I still need to work on it.
But you can try earlier versions, please find them on the droidreader
homepage:
http://code.google.com/p/droidreader (see "Downloads" link).
There's also the source code (see "Source" link). Note that the versions
where there's a published binary version (.apk) are tagged (v0_2, v0_3,
v0_4, v0_5).
Feel free to use it!
If it doesn't suit your needs, have a look at android-pdf-viewer (apv),
also on Google Code - it also uses muPDF as its rendering library and it
is also Open Source!

sorry, I'm only able to respond to emails so I didn't get to make a
tarball of the source for you.
But this question is easy to answer (and in fact is written in bold
letters on the droidreader home page): DroidReader uses the OpenIntents
approach to this so it needs a file manager in order to present an "open
file" dialog box which is compatible with this approach. This would e.g.
be the OI File Manager which you can find on the market and also on the web.
You can in fact use any file manager to open PDF files with DroidReader
- but DroidReader may then be unable to present the "Open File" dialog
box. In fact, this stupid "Open File" habit of applications
(implementing a mini file manager just in order to pick one single
document) does not really fit into the android world, but I thought that
people might miss it.

you a suggestion, you should first try to act on that suggestion and
do some information searching for yourself.
Download the OI File Manager
http://openintents.googlecode.com/files/FileManager-1.1.3.apk
after installing it, whenever you open the PDF reader, it will show
the open file dialogue.Browse to your location (SDcard) to select the
PDF file you want.

I thought I was clear about it, sorry. So:
- Install ANY file manager. Start it. Klick on the PDF file. Done.
OR
- Install "OI File Manager" if you want to open PDFs from the menu in
DroidReader.
You can find it on the Market _or_ download it here:
http://www.openintents.org/en/node/159
In your Desktop OS, how do you open PDFs? Personally, I just click on
them. I do not start "Adobe Reader" or whatever and then use
File-Open-Dialogue. It works just the same way on Android. And there is
no "Open File Dialog" implemented in DroidReader. It uses other apps for
that and the interface is defined on http://www.openintents.org/.
