Have you tried other PDF clients like kpdf? I am not sure what this
format is so I may be wrong but giving something else a try is a good
start. What I would do is run a search in Yast to find out what
readers and tools are available for pdf files.

Sounds like Adobe's latest DRM model, which I doubt they will release on Linux anytime soon, which means you're going to have to wait for the hack. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I am avoiding their reader for a number reason, but most strongly because of this: http://lwn.net/Articles/129729/ kpdf handles pds great, but most probably not good enough for Bo, unfortunately.

A hack I've used for a long time to block adverts etc is to cause the offending program not to find the host it's looking for. So I've just added this line to my /etc/hosts: 127.0.0.1 www.remoteapproach.com Hopefully, that'll stop the blighters. Cheers, Dave PS I use Adblock now for adverts. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

That is a good trick! Thanks, I will still stick with kpdf as I do not see much in the Adobe reader besides the fact that load slower... to make me use it. Regards, G.

The latest version of Adobe Reader for Windows and Mac OS is 8.1. I'm hoping Adobe won't take too long to get around to releasing the Linux port. The document search function in 7.0 is buggy and very slow, and I'd really like to have it working (assuming they've fixed / improved it in version 8.1).
