Please put Adobe Reader back in, so that we have a PDF app that works properly!!!
try using master pdf editor: https://code-industry.net/free-pdf-editor/#get
or foxit reader: https://www.foxitsoftware.com/de/pdf-reader/
Foxit can not verify signatures.
i almost daily use master pdf editor and didn't find a single feature, adobe reader had, which master pdf editor hadn't.
It is Java and comes with its own JRE. Thus bigger size.
It does not work with some forms that use javascript. From my "report":
It loads *some* forms correctly, but not vide-cerfa_13754-02.pdf. First issue is that the form uses javascript, gives a security warning in the reader. If accepted then gives an error: "Unable to open document as it is a Livecycle Dynamic XFA form".

Subject: [opensuse] Adobe Reader no longer works - 15.0 There was a thread started 06/04/2018 entitled "Adobe Reader no longer works - 15.0". On 06/27/2018 Per Jensen referenced a post by Joerg Kühne described his solution to this problem. He does not post to this list so it was not seen here. There is a response 0n 06/28/2018 by7 Catlos"
I just got acroread running in 15.0. You need to install the 32 bit patterns, and you need to copy some /usr/lib libraries from 42.3 into /usr/lib/Adobe/Reader9/Reader/intellinux/lib.
I personally copied from the 42.3 system:
42.3/usr/lib/libpcre.so.1* /usr/lib/Adobe/Reader9/Reader/intellinux/lib 42.3/usr/lib/libxcb.so.* /usr/lib/Adobe/Reader9/Reader/intellinux/lib
Set LD_LIBRARY_PATH so that it now reads /usr/lib/Adobe/Reader9/intellinux/lib.
This worked for me, but I gave up on 15 a while back with other problems so have not tried it recently. I wish people would not keep fixing things!
Don Please direct your comments to Adobe. They were the ones to decide Reader for linux was dead. Since it's closed source, how could openSUSE do something about that. @All: Why here?
Because our users have a sense of openSUSE being able to help them with little petty things, such as reading PDFs. Sure, it does get a little tiresome when the question turns up for the umpteenth time, but that just means 1) it is important to people 2) we neglected to write a decent support page explaining how it's done.
To have openSUSE fix all security holes and then run Reader, which is a siff when concerning security.
The choice is lack of security vs lack of functionality. I think the users have made their choice clear. In my business, we're managing with Okular, although printing issues have meant reverting to Acrobat every so often. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (16.8°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - free dynamic DNS, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
