This would be an ugly workaround for the real problem: Adobe are not providing a proper 64-bit build of Acrobat Reader. This is a problem which needs to be taken up with Adobe, not CUPS. The solution in the meantime is to debootstrap a 32-bit chroot (use a tool like schroot to access it--it supports 32-in-64 bit operation via the kernel linux32 personality). This is what is generally recommended for running out of date 32-bit proprietary code on 64-bit systems. You can write a one-line shell script wrapper to make running the reader completely transparent. This is recommended in the AMD64 FAQ. https://alioth.debian.org/docman/view.php/30192/21/debian-amd64-howto.html#id292205 Regards, Roger -- .''`.
