Yes, I happen to not use Windows for anything serious if I can
help it. My desktop machine is actually a server tower running
Suse 13.2 64bit with FF.
But, it just may be lying to their server... I keep forgetting if
I have that thing turned on so that IE only sites work just fine
talking to Linux.
Eventually I will see if Wine will run Adobe Reader....

Did you use a browser running under Linux when you went to:
https://www.foxitsoftware.com/products/pdf-reader/
and then clicked the Download button? I think it checks what operating system you are
running under and chooses the appropriate install file, because when I hit
"download" it did not ask which platform.

Subject: PDF issues with Linux [WAS Looking for an answer to an SVC question]
I have pdf viewers. But FF sometimes will pass the link off to it, but mostly
won't. And this has been going on for the past few releases of FF.
AND, then there are the Adobe built pdf files that the viewers all complain
about, for having forms that they can't process.
Primary complaints with Taxing agency fill in the blank forms.
Tried to download Foxit. Kept trying to send me .exe files.
Waiting on them to respond to an email.

Steve Thompson

Well, you could abandon Adobe...
I just installed Foxit on my Ubuntu (open
https://www.foxitsoftware.com/products/pdf-reader/ in your Firefox on your Linux and
click the "Free Download" button, then follow the instructions given). Now any
.pdf link just opens the document to view just fine.
Cheers,
