There are very few choices....
1. Install the Acrobat Reader 9 for Linux.
Unsupported, no updates.
3. Try installing a 3rd party viewer in Wine (like Foxit for example).
Keys do not work.
4. Try to get the latest Acrobat Reader working in Wine./
AFAIK, does not work. Work in progress.
5. Try to use the native Linux readers.
No scripting support, no signature support.
I've tried all 6 options.
Another: set up a virtual machine with Android, install new adobe reader inside. It works fine... but a mouse is not a touch screen, so usability is small.
Acroread 9 has security holes and update issues as you noted... 3rd party viewers rarely work with forms... I've never see Acroread work in Wine... native Linux PDF viewers rarely work with forms... PDF Studio is a hit/miss, and when I tested it, it failed on the PDF form I needed to fill in.
Yep.
In the end my solution is Evince/Okular as the default. Where that fails, Acroread 9. Where that fails, I boot up a Windows VM and use the latest Acroread for WIndows... this last option always works.
You can legally install W7 for 30 days, I understand. I may be wrong. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
