Hi Mickey,
This might be a moot point, but have you tried deleting the
adobereader profile in your home directory, which fixed my 9.5.5 64bit
reader problem when its execution produced errors about being unable
to read a file?
regards,
Steve

There has Got to be something with Ferdora 20 that is causing this

I have to have AdobeReader-9.5.5 , because the FOSS pdf readers
will not allow me to Edit and Print PDF files Online at the Boy
Scouts of america website.

I'm not using proprietary closed source software, but try running it
from a command line to see if there is any error from the program. You
can also try to check if it is missing any library (if it is not
statically linked) with 'ldd binary', also if you have SElinux
enabled (which is default on Fedora) check for its messages (I think
in /var/log/audit/audit.log) (maybe it blocks some actions from you
software, and if it does, you can temporarily try disabling SELinux and
testing it again)
No error message at command line.
Selinux is disabled.
acroread execute is in /usr/bin and it is linked to
/opt/Adobe/Reader9/bin/acroread and if i execute acroread in /opt dir
it execute and gives the Red AdobeReader splash screen, then goes
away. So there is no linking problem to execute of acroread.

I uninstalled Adobereader and then I went into ~/.adobe/Acrobat and
deleted that directory.
I then installed as SU AdbeRdr9.5.5-1_i486linux_enu.bin and then tried
to run acroread again and got same results, acroread won't start.
I,m thinking about backing up my Harddrive and reformat the whole drive
and reinstalling Adobe fresh install and see what happens .
I replaced a harddrive on another computer that had crashed yesterday,
and did a total fresh install with AdbeRdr9.5.5-1_i486linux_enu.bin and
on the new drive AdobeReader ran perfect.

Re: Adobereader won't install
Hi Mickey,
This might be a moot point, but have you tried deleting the
adobereader profile in your home directory, which fixed my 9.5.5 64bit
reader problem when its execution produced errors about being unable to
read a file?
regards,
Steve

They can also be containers which can contain other embedded documents, including PDFs inside PDFs and MS/Libre Office documents *inside PDFs*. The other FOSS readers cannot handle these. So everyone, stop telling the OP to use alternatives. We all know that there are alternatives; they come preinstalled with Fedora.

Turns out the redhat-lsb packages are *not* required for the current version of Adobe Reader. FWIW, I just installed Adobe Reader on a VM running F20/64bit and KDE. On initial start up you get an Adobe splash-screen and then a dialog box to accept their license. At this time the ~/.adobe directory is created and adobe reader is opened with a blank page since no pdf has been specified. My problem is the Adobe splash-screen flashes on and goes away just as fast, no other windows open. -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?

Re: Adobereader won't install
Actually filling interactive forms in the above mentioned documents is possible by the apps with pdf support based on poppler, Evince Okular. Let's say one difference I noticed when filling the form e.g. date input, unlike FoxitReader, it ain't controllable in Evince Okular. Nevertheless they are useful for this task. = Evince - Adobe reader - Comparison Notes = https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Evince/ComparingEvinceAcroread Advanced Function 12. Fill in PDF form Evince has a basic forms support. Some features are still missing like spell checking and signature fields are not supported yet. Needs improvement = Okular - Development News = http://okular.kde.org/news.php This release introduces new features like undo/redo support for forms and annotations and configurable review tools. Possibility to save a PDF document with the changes to the form fields Improved support for forms = Poppler - libpoppler = http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poppler_(software) As of the version 0.18 release in 2011, the poppler library represents a complete implementation of ISO 32000-1,[not in citation given] the PDF format standard, and is the first major free PDF library to support its forms (only Acroforms but not full XFA forms[5][6]) and annotations features.[3] Features Poppler partially supports interactive documents using JavaScript,[13] annotations, and Acroforms.

Temlakos Hi, If the rpm being installed is the one supplied by Adobe, the command provided is acroread. On my system the rpm installed its files into /opt/Adobe, check that the acroread file is executable and that you have read/write access to all files/folders within that path. I had an issue with acroread, whereby when I ran it, it produced a dialog complaining of a file read error and wouldn't run, I also received the same error when I clicked on widgets to add them to my development project in Windowbuilder within Eclipse. This error turned out to be a corrupt profile in ~/.adobe/Acrobat which, when I deleted that directory, and acrobat recreated it resolved my problems. regards, Steve attachment: samorris.vcf-- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?

I think it's because the name of the command is now changed. No longer acroread but AdobeReader. Note: that's case-sensitive. Acrobat is now reserved for the PDF /editor/. And by the way: the latest version is more than a year old. Where can we find a side-by-side feature table for Adobe Reader v. Okular, or whatever the favored PDF viewer is for Gnome? Temlakos Hi, If the rpm being installed is the one supplied by Adobe, the command provided is acroread. On my system the rpm installed its files into /opt/Adobe, check that the acroread file is executable and that you have read/write access to all files/folders within that path. I had an issue with acroread, whereby when I ran it, it produced a dialog complaining of a file read error and wouldn't run, I also received the same error when I clicked on widgets to add them to my development project in Windowbuilder within Eclipse. This error turned out to be a corrupt profile in ~/.adobe/Acrobat which, when I deleted that directory, and acrobat recreated it resolved my problems. regards, Steve Forget all about adobe pdf readers Run yum -y install evince and be done with it. On my machine: yum list evince Installed Packages evince.x86_64 3.10.3-1.fc20 @fedora My problem is that when I get on to the Boy Scouts of America BSA all their forms are in pdf and they require AdobeReader . I went to the Boy Scouts of America website using Chrome...and all their PDF's loaded and displayed properly in Chromes built-in PDF reader. What and where is the Chrome built-in PDF reader, is it a extension or what. No, it's not an extension. AFAIK it's built-in to Chrome. When I use Chrome go onto the BSA website it tells me I must have AdobeReader-9 0r greater. That's strange. When I went there with Chrome I didn't get any warning. Can you edit the PDF's on their website ? To fill in spaces. Good question...which I can't answer. But in my experience many sites with PDF files you can fill in require...can I say it?
