SuSE Acrobat versus Windows Acrobat
How can I rotate by 180 degrees a "pdf" file whose pages are upside-down ? Unluckily whoever has ported Acrobat Reader from Windows to SuSE has left out a nice feature that Acrobat (Windows version does have) that is the possibility to rotate clockwise and counter-clockwise the displayed document !

Aren't you comparing apples ( Acrobat reader 5.0.x for windows ) and oranges ( Acrobat reader 4.0.x for linux ) ? Try upgrading to Acrobat reader 5.0.x, avilable at www.acrobat.com
Thank you. Actually I ignored Acrobat 5.0 would be available for Linux platforms as well ... I assumed if it was that people in charge of SuSE new versions would update SuSE ditribution kit adequately... which evidently is not done ! Anyway I'm in the process of downloading Acrobat 5.0 for Linux just now. When I extract the acrhive (unzip and untar the downloaded file) am I going to find an "rpm" file ? I'm just concerned about installation and integration of Acrobat 5.0 wih SuSE 8.0 environment ...??? Regards, Maura Tor Sigurdsson wrote:

i installed the new acrobat via the tgz file and all you have to do is run the INSTALL program, tell it where you want the acrobat excutables installed (i let it use /usr/local/Acrobat5 the default) then i just symlinked /usr/X11R6/bin/acroread to /usr/local/Acrobat5/bin/acroread and copied the nppdf.so file from /usr/local/Acrobat5/browsers/intellinux to /usr/local/mozilla/plugins both work fine after doing so (acrobat and mozilla with pdf plugin) On Thursday 01 August 2002 02:37 pm, Maura Edelweiss Monville wrote:

Thank you. I'll follow your instructions. Browsing through the Adobe web site I noticed Acrobat Distiller is available for UNIX as well. I have it on Windows. It's very useful to convert files from other format into "pdf" files. Does a Linux SuSE version of Acrobat Distiller exist ? Does anyone have any experience with it on SuSE ? How much does the Linux version cost ? Maura Chad Whitten wrote:

I don't think you need the Linux version. You just have to print to a post script file (the result will be something like file.ps), then you use ps2pdf program which will generate the PDF for you. If you use OpenOffice/StarOffice it will automatically print to PDF. Have fun, Dan. -- Binaries might die, but source code lives forever
