Okular just isn't capable like Adobe is. If you have the capability with your system to download and install Adobe Reader, you should do so, and you should complain to your distro's managers that you want it! I don't know what to suggest--I went thru this same problem you're having two years ago, and obviously they haven't fixed it. I don't understand why we don't have it. Some distros can use the 32 bit version which is the only one available. If some can, they all should be able to! So if opesuse can run the Reader, then install it, and you won't have any more trouble. acroread has been intentionally removed from the distribution and is not coming back. Read the 13.1 release notes.
You have to download it directly from adobe and accept the security risks, because Adobe has dropped support for Linux. No more updates since last June.
I am aware that Adobe isn't making any more versions for Linux, but the version that is available for download is perfectly adequate. Someone should pass on the word to the Okular devs that if they want to make a clone, they need to make a REAL CLONE, form, fit and function! All the buttons and everything in the same places, and all the functions--especially those related to filling out forms-- have to work, PERFECTLY. Until then, I will use Adobe, and I will intentionally avoid distros that do not make provision to do so. And the "security" thing is nothing but scare tactics. You can read anywhere that there has never been a virus on Linux! --doug -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
