Hello:
For a while I could not upgrade to Leap 15.1 because I could not make acroread (adobe reader) work. I did not see the cups configured printers. The print window of acroread only offered "custom" printer.

Acroread for linux has been abandoned by Adobe for quite some time It's probably best to switch to something that is being actively maintained such as okular. If acroread is a must-have, I guess Wine or a VM (running Windows or an old version of Linux) might be the best way to continue with it.

I installed acroread from the link to 15.0 as a test, and it worked fine. It complained about the missing ISO8859-1.so (32-bit) that was already installed at /usr/lib/gconv/ISO8859-1.so. I just ignored the package dependency and installed anyway and acroread 9 worked like a champ. For pdf's with forms, I just use LibreOffice Draw which handles most fill-in forms allowing you to save/print a filled in form. Otherwise kpdf is my favorite. One of these days it will need work, but as of now, it still handles 99.99999% of all other pdfs just fine. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
