Acrobat reader won't install

#1 Post by budden »

The acrobat reader dot.pup fails.

- the download file is labeled acroreadnnnn.pup.pup
(the .pup is repeated)

- there's nothing in the file.


I also tried to install from .rpm directly from Adobe's page ... no joy. /usr/bin/acroread is there all right but even after chmod u+x it won't come up.


Why. I have some egregiously fancy powerpoint briefings that I wanted to display in class. Exported them as .pdf. Fortunatly, I tested these with the Ghostscript reader _before_ I went to class -- the fancy logos take hours to load ... per page. Figured the quickest fix was to find an alternate reader.

... ended up taking my Powerbook to class
