off-topic : Adobe reader doesn't show file window

[Antonio M]

as Adobe Reader cannot be fully replaced by evince or other application, I
note that if I start Acroread and I use the File/open menu, it doesn't
work. Using acroread name_of_file in a terminal it works. Any idea? sorry
for the off-topic

No definitive answer.  You could try creating a new user and see if it
works with that user. If it does, that implies that there is something
in your configuration.  If it doesn't, you should probably open a
ticket at adobe about this issue so they can fix it.

Sounds like a permissions problem.

even with the new user Acrobat carshes in the same way. Not sure, but I
think that Adobe isnot supporting Acrobat reader any longer.

Tnx for help

Hi Antonio,

You actually got Adobe reader to work at all.  Wow!

Alternatives are:

     PDF Studio Reader (free)
     https://www.qoppa.com/pdfstudioviewer/

and

     Foxit Reader (free) under Wine.
     https://www.foxitsoftware.com/pdf-reader/

Foxit reader works wonderful under Wine Staging.

I use the paid version of PDF Studio all the time
and I adore it.  (I doesn't do Dynamic XFA documents
though, for that you will need Foxit Reader.)

I am the one who actually wrote this how to configure
PDF Studio to scan using saned:

Even though I use okular, I just installed AdbeRdr9.5.5-1_i486linux_enu.rpm for
testing only on an F28 system running fully updated KDE.

It installed and ran just fine from the KDE menu as well as from the command line.

FWIW, okular does what I need it to do and I really don't like (personal preference)
the 80+ i686 packages it needs to install to run.

I run WineStaging .686, so I got a ton of i686 packages
to support it.  I wonder how many more Adobe reader would add?

I just looked at okular dependencies on my SL7 system.  The only i686 
ones I see are kde-runtime and glibc

What are you questioning?  My dis-jointed English?  :-)

Those i686 packages are being added as the result of installing Adobe Reader. 
Previously, the KDE system had zero i686 packages installed.

[egreshko@f28k-b1 ~]$ rpm -qa | grep 686
[egreshko@f28k-b1 ~]$

[egreshko@f28k-b1 ~]$ rpm -qa | grep x86_ | wc
   1556    1556   52757
[egreshko@f28k-b1 ~]$ rpm -qa | grep noar | wc
    344     344   13560

Maybe :-)  I had read the long list as being required by okular and 
wondered if those wide-range packages were somehow responsible. 
Adobe-reader doesn't appear to be on offer..

I'm sure it is definite.  For it to have been unambiguous (aka clear) I should have
written...

FWIW, okular does what I need it to do and I really don't like (personal preference) 
the 80+ i686 packages Adobe Reader needs installed in order for it to run.

Sorry for the confusion.

I don't have access to your file, but I am encountering the same issue 
with some PDF files. The only reader to use is unfortunately Acrobat 
Reader itself. No way with evince, qpdf, okular and so on...
