Thank God I found this comment / bug report from Roger James, as it has saved me from getting even angrier at this problem than I already was. I can fully confirm the bug with Ubuntu 11.10 32 bit and Acrobat Reader 9.4.2, and the fix that the reporter has detailled in the comment above.
This is not only a severe functionality bug, but a very simple one to fix as well from the comment above. Without the fix or the workaround lots of online paperwork simply don't work, as many site SSL certificates are not signed by the typical commercial root CA, so following Acrobat instructions and running commands like the one below, doesn't make a difference: acroread -installCertificate www-s.munimadrid.es 443 In fact, under the user's application directory the file with the cert gets created, but as long as you don't workaround the cert file by hand, it doesn't make the connection work. I went to the pain of dumping the connection data via Wireshark, and the TLSv1 session is dropped by the client end (Acrobat Reader) sending the other end a "unknow CA certificate" message. So it seemed clear the problem was somewhere in Acrobat, and thank God Roger had already "fixed" it. Please commit a fix for this issue to the package, as not everyone is going to be able to workaround it, as like it or not, Adobe Acrobat is the de-facto standard (and maybe the only one PDF reader) witch capabilities to be used for things like attaching files to PDF documents, digitally signing them, and securely send them to an enabled server. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Canonical Partner Developers, which is subscribed to acroread in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/883839 Title: Wrong file names generated by acroread -installCertificate To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/acroread/+bug/883839/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~canonical-partner-dev Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~canonical-partner-dev More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
