Hi,
I have Adobe Acrobat Reader DC installed in F37 via Snap. When I
click on a pdf attachment in Thunderbird Daily I get a prompt asking
if I want to view it in the Ocular default or save the attachment. If
I click "OK" to display it in Ocular it displays fine.
When I click on the Drop Down in the prompt and select "Other" to
display the pdf in something other than Ocular I am not shown Acrobat
in the list, but if I look at "KDE System Settings->Applications->File
Associations->application->pdf" Adobe Acrobat is shown as the third
entry in the list of applications. If I move Adobe Acrobat to the top
then the prompt from Thunderbird shows Adobe Acrobat as the default as
expected.
With the prompt now asking if I want to view the pdf in Acrobat,
if I click on "OK" Acrobat is launched but produced the error "There
was an error opening this document. This file cannot be found". If I
edit the pdf association entry for Acrobat and add "%U" into the empty
Arguments text box, in the same way it is specified for the Ocular
entry, Acrobat still produces the error message that it can't find the
file.
Has the snap process not installed Acrobat correctly, or is the
file argument for Acrobat not "%U", or is there something else at play
here?
regards,
Steve
It seems as though the reason the attachment does not appear to be
passed into Acrobat is the version that snap installs is the Windows
version of Adobe Acrobat Reader DC.
I found on the net a methodology to install a 32-bit linux version of
Acrobat Reader 9.5.5 into Fedora 33/34 which works for installing that
version into F37. Even though with this install the mimetype
association doesn't specify any arguments for the filename like the one
for Okular does, both of the two mimetype attachments get passed into
Acrobat for viewing quite happily.
So now I can use the Acrobat Reader 9 association for accessing pdf
attachments in emails and the Acrobat Reader DC app for saved pdf's if I
need the extra functionality that it provides.
regards,
Steve
