Try downloading the Linux acrobat directly from Adobe and see if it does the same thing. Also, note if it consistently takes 80 seconds, or if it's only after a reboot. A bug report probably won't do much good, since Adobe is a proprietary, binary only package. Basically that means SUSE can't really do anything about it even if there is something wrong. From the RPM description: --- However, there are security leaks and other bugs that cannot be fixed because the Adobe license forbids us to "modify the Software in any way." See http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/acrrdistribute.html --- You may want to give kpdf a try, or contact Adobe.
