Hi,
If the rpm being installed is the one supplied by Adobe, the
command provided is "acroread". On my system the rpm installed its
files into /opt/Adobe, check that the acroread file is executable
and that you have read/write access to all files/folders within
that path. I had an issue with acroread, whereby when I ran it, it
produced a dialog complaining of a file read error and wouldn't
run, I also received the same error when I clicked on widgets to
add them to my development project in Windowbuilder within
Eclipse. This error turned out to be a corrupt profile in
~/.adobe/Acrobat which, when I deleted that directory, and acrobat
recreated it resolved my problems.
regards,
Steve
Forget all about adobe pdf readers
Run
yum -y install evince
and be done with it.
On my machine:
yum list evince
Installed Packages
evince.x86_64 3.10.3-1.fc20 @fedora
My problem is that when I get on to the Boy Scouts of America BSA all
their forms are in pdf and they require AdobeReader .
Would you know where I can get the pdf-to-text.rpm, I could probably
download the pdf's from BSA website and edit them with pdf-to-text.
