I fully understand that there are "open source" PDF readers. I use a
number of these, as well as Qoppa PDF Studio Pro (under license for fee)
as a Linux replacement for Adobe Acrobat. (PDF Studio Pro provides
essentially all of the features I need that are provided by Adobe
Acrobat -- and Adobe refuses to port Acrobat to linux.)
Nonetheless, I attempt to keep a functioning copy of Adobe Reader
(acroread) on my workstation. This was not an issue under EL 6.
However, the most recent (last) Adobe Acroread rpm does not run. I followed
http://www.if-not-true-then-false.com/2010/install-adobe-acrobat-pdf-reader-on-fedora-centos-red-hat-rhel/
3b. Install Adobe Reader (acroread) on CentOS/Red Hat (RHEL) 7
Note: On x86_64 bit system, 32-bit dependencies is also installed.
end quote.
With the IA-32 dependencies supposedly installed (yum install of the
Adobe acroread RPM was successful), the application fails.
Does anyone have SL7 acroread working? If so, how?
I really do not want to invoke Virtualbox to run MS Win 7 pro to run the
MS Win version of acroread.
