I recall that thread, but it doesn't change the fact that Okular is a poor substitute. Maybe someone can do something about those dependencies, as Okular is an exercise in frustration. Why, for example, is there not a button to start from the home directory, rather than click a couple of times to get up to the top and then click down? Why not remember where files have been saved previously, instead of coming up with a list of locations I've never used?
I agree that nothing is a real good substitute for Adobe acroread program, but openSUSE can not put it back. The software is proprietary and the owner (Adobe) has abandoned it for Linux: they do not publish any new version since several years. Thus the existing version has holes and is a pain to install. If you want it, as I do, you have to do what that thread said: it works here. There are also other proprietary alternatives that also work and are currently maintained. I can't recall their names this instant, but I reported my findings in this list. So go find that thread and read it :-) Foxit? -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
