[»] No version 6 of Adobe Acrobat Reader for Linux
by AnyFile - Dec 3rd 2004 09:50:06

Dispate the claim of Adobe as pdf a format to be easly used on any system there is no a version 6 of Adobe Acrobat Reader.

I often have an ugly pop up windows says me to update to a newer version. I click OK and I download the same version I already have (becouse is the last). But I can not have version 6 and I can not use the function that need version 6

    Here here! How long has it been since 6 was released on Windows? 1 year? 2 years?

    Either change the name from Portable Document Format to Windows Document Format, or port your reader to Linux. Drop the Motif crap, buy a Qt license and get done with it.

by Paul Campbell - Jul 7th 2003 10:58:13

The error message in "Subject" was reported
previously. It is surprising that it wouldn't have been fixed
or that the README wouldn't discuss it.

Is there a downside to adding the export LANG=C ?

    dictd won't start unless you run it with:
    --locale=en_US.UTF-8
    Of course it won't report any errors, just mysteriously fail to start.

    greets

    had same problem and was researching when ran across your post. found the answer:

    you need to set your LANG variable to C, which is not the default in newer redhat releases. i edited the /usr/local/Acrobat5/bin/acroread script and added:

    LANG=C; export LANG

    near the top. it worked for me.

    cheers. alex.

        you all can edit /usr/local/Acrobat5/bin/acroread and put top of the file,

        LANG=eng_US
        export LANG

        I found the same - and you're right, your solution
        works! So simple - why didn't Adobe resolve that
        themselves?
