I've got a local copy too. I'm just careful to use it as a last resort.
I use apparmour to make sure it doesn't access out of bounds.
But even this version doesn't handle digital signatures with keys from Smart Cards, so I have to keep Windows around in a Virtualbox sandbox. It works okay and can access the Linux filesystem "share" for data exchange. I use it to run my Canon multifunction printer/scanner and Epson V600 Photo scanner too. I'd never buy another Canon product...
Oh. I don't have the hardware to read cards, so I didn't notice. (Same about Canon here)
One potential problem with acroread is that it's a 32-bit program. I've had issues with it on XFS filesystems larger than 2-TB. There's a way to make XFS filesystems where the inode pointers are all grouped in 32-bit space, but there are tradeoffs as I understand it. openSuSE defaults to not building XFS in a 32-bit friendly fashion.
You are right. But I don't have any partition here that big. At worst, just place the PDFs it must read in a smaller partition. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 13.1 x86_64 "Bottle" at Telcontar)
