Right, acrobat X does not currently install or run on wine. If you are going to use version 9, then just use the Linux version instead.
Actually, it does. You can install both Acrobat Reader X and XI through Wine and/or Crossover. In vanilla Wine, you need to run: winetricks -q mspatcha. I didn't try in Crossover yet but the results should be close to identical since they
Both Reader X and XI do actually work OK in Wine 1.7.7 (I just tested both versions in 1.7.7 and in the daily snapshot)... but... both also crash when trying to open any document with forms, including the one that Per is trying to work with. So, still not a solution here.
There is a bug open on this crash problem: http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=34109
What I have found is this: http://www.qoppa.com/pdfstudio/ It's commercial software, but there is a free trial, and... it works. You CAN open PDFs with forms and embedded Javascript - you get a popup warning with a yes/no choice. The form from Per appears to work OK in the trial version.
So.. commercial software, but if you need to have PDF support in Linux, maybe this is an option?
Definitely - if it's full-featured, I don't mind paying for it. OTOH, perhaps development on okular will pick up and bring it to a sufficient level of functionality. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (4.0°C) http://www.hostsuisse.com/ - dedicated server rental in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
