This is not necessarily about trust. There is plenty of documents one has to fill out for legal reasons that explicitly don't work on other readers. E.g. the mandatory safety form teachers in Baden-Württemberg have to fill out when conducting experiments in class will display nothing but an error message if opened in Okular.

I just checked with them and they said that it will not work with Smartcards.  I specifically asked if it was compatible with pcscd and libcoolkey and they said, no.

I tried (at length) but whatever I did I couldn't get it working on Tumbleweed. I use it with no problems on Ubuntu. I switched to Xreader, along with some other parts of the Mint Xapps suite, e.g. the Xed editor.

Probably but I have only just returned to *SUSE after about 13 years away, so I am not an expert at tweaking dependencies. There are a whole bunch of packages for ``acroread'' on http://software.opensuse.org I tried all of them. Every time, it complained about missing libraries that seemed to be part of Ubuntu's Unity desktop. I also had problems caused by libappindicator or related libraries, which meant that several Gtk apps didn't display their menu bars on Tumbleweed under XFCE: xfce-terminal, Pidgin, Claws-mail, others. In the end, I removed everything Unity-related that I could find and my apps got menu bars -- but acroread would not launch. -- Liam Proven - Technical Writer, SUSE Linux s.r.o.

OK, I got curious. So I grabbed one of the acroread-for-Tumbleweed packages (from home:Ximi1970:openSUSE:Extra) and installed it. It wanted some ISO8859-1.so which it seems it didn't find as a provide (but there is one from the glibc-locale package). I installed 'breaking some of the dependencies'. Running it failed, it complained that it cannot create files in my home directory. Realizing it is actually a 32-bit executable (although the package is x86_64) I got suspicious that it might have to do with the XFS filesystem of home: Several application (mostly some games) have issues with XFS on large partitions (larger than 1.9T IIRC) and die with such stupid errors. So I moved ~/.adobe to /tmp and put a link in my $HOME instead. And wonder o wonder, it just runs....

Maybe. Difficult to say reading here: http://jsignpdf.sourceforge.net/ I googled for "validate digital signature for PDFs in linux", and two places say to try "PDF Studio Viewer".

It does display signature info :-) Similar to acroread, but with less info, it seems, but more than "pdfsig" (see my other email). Ah, on each field I can right click and select "details", and this info is indeed detailed. Next is to find how to add "Trusted identities". Found it, in preferences I can import root certificates.

Has anybody made any progress since this thread was initiated? I looked ant the binary that is finally loaded and found:

/usr/lib/Adobe/Reader9/Reader/intellinux/bin/acroread: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, interpreter /lib/ld-linux.so.2, for GNU/Linux 2.2.5, stripped

Is there something in Leap 15 that prevents is from executing ELF 32-bit LSB executables? If so, what is it and can it be worked around. I ran Yast2 and I think I installed all of the 32 bit libs. I have seen acroread offered on the opensuse packages list, and other places. The site says it builds, but gives no info I saw on execution.

For better or worse, Adobe Reader is obsolete. Have you looked at getting Master PDF Editor 5? It's pretty complete, AFAIK.

Again, stop that bullshit. There are features that NO free Linux pdf viewer has. Namely: cryptographic signature checking, and javascript support in forms.

Apparently that directory is scanned by acroread for libraries it needs, to be used in preference to the system ones. I don't know if it changes the LD_LIBRARY_PATH, but it might, it uses a script to all the program.

cer@Telcontar:~> file /usr/bin/acroread /usr/bin/acroread: symbolic link to ../lib/Adobe/Reader9/bin/acroread cer@Telcontar:~> file /usr/lib/Adobe/Reader9/bin/acroread /usr/lib/Adobe/Reader9/bin/acroread: setgid POSIX shell script, ASCII text executable cer@Telcontar:~>

Then "grep LD_LIBRARY_PATH /usr//lib/Adobe/Reader9/bin/acroread" finds hits. So that's how. This is an strategy that is "sound" for proprietary packages that are not rebuilt (compiled) for each distribution and distro release. Instead they use their own. pdfstudioviewer, for instance, brings its own java version.

I was considering trying to find the above two libraries in debug or source form and determine with gdb what the problem is. Then possibly file a bug report. Is this a worthwhile effort?

Thanks for all the assistance!

I think Joerg Kuehne used gdb to find out. He said something about it in a post I did not fully understand, so you'd better have a look at it. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.3 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)

I have seen acroread offered on the opensuse packages list, and other places. The site says it builds, but gives no info I saw on execution.

What broke? Don

That still doesn't really tell us anything we don't already know, if you try "ldd /usr/lib/Adobe/Reader9/Reader/intellinux/bin/acroread" you will see a list of all the libraries it requires, my guess is that atleast one of the core libraries it lists is now at a different incompatible version in Leap 15, if someone had access to the source code fixing it might be as simple as recompiling it, or it may require some more complex alterations but we will never know as we can't access the source code.

Please help with ldd. I generated an output from both my 42.3 system and Leap 15 system. I can attach them if you wish. I compared them and they are not the same, 81 libs in 42.3 vs 72 libs in Leap 15. But all the files searched for are found except for about 10 at the beginning of 42.3 and 15 that show file not found. But these files are all located in the adobe directory /usr/lib/Adobe/Reader9/Reader/intellinux/lib. I do not understand how acroread can be built and not have links to its own directories. Do I need to adjust my library search paths? I added the above to my LD_LIBRARY_PATH and now all libraries are found in the ldd dump. The executable built on the Leap 15 system executes on the 42.3. The executable built for the 42.3 system does not execute on the Leap 15 system. I tried, and achieved the same results, loading the 42.3 distribution on the 15 system. I have tried all the things I can muster without trying to get into the binary and see where it is failing. Any ideas?

I guess it is all a matter of taste. I do not see why Adobe Reader is obsolete. It allows me to configure window buttons and actions that I desire. I use it mainly for reading PDF documentation. I do not care for the large amount of the screen real estate consumed by window borders, like okular. For instance I have not figured out how to get rid of the previous window bar on the left had side. Also in Adobe I could click on a window an it would jump to the next page, centered perfectly. I just like it. Don -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

I'll try that one in another machine.

I tried on another computer, freshly installed, with AdbeRdr9.5.5-1_i486linux_enu.rpm from that site. It seems to run fine after copying over those libs from 42.3. I used it remotely via ssh -X from my desktop machine, and I observed that it "installed" an applet on the task bar that I have observed previously; I think it is named "tasker". Clicking on it produces errors because it complains that the html rendering engine is not installed. It wants "libgtkembedmoz.so" or another one I forgot. It could be this applet which was causing the exit problem perhaps. :-? I have configured the tasker to display inside the reader instead. It also says there is a security update pending, and whether to install it, but this fails (since ever). Just two nuisances.

This one: Edit/Preferences/Tasker: [X] Show notifications inside Adobe Reader I don't know what is the "SynchronizerApp" yet. I need to search if there is an AppArmor profile that I can use instead of creating my own. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.3 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)
