OpenSUSE :: Evince Or Acrobat Reader - Default Pdf Reader?
Aug 31, 2010
I have openSUSE 11.2, 64 bits. I use Evince from the very beginning. Since a few weeks, when I want to open a .pdf file, Acrobat Reader appears and reads my file. It seems to have become the default reader now. However, I never wanted to change from Evince :this simple program is well enough for me. I tried various ways, but I can't define Evince as my default .pdf reader. How can I make Evince to become my default reader again please ?

I find this command
sudo update-alternatives -config x-www-browser
I choose Chrome. It works for xpdf, but Evince still starts Firefox after click. I feel Linux is not standard. I use Linux Mint 8 (Helena) LXDE.

I am trying to install the adobe reader in Fedora 14 using yum. When I try this I get a list of packages that also need to be installed. What do I do? I tried to remove avahi-libs-0.6.27-2.fc14.i686, but it wanted to also remove 200+ other things.Needless to say I declined the removal.

Tech support installed a new computer for me at work yesterday and it's running 64-bit Ubuntu 9.10. I succeeded in installing Adobe Reader 9 (I need to review PDF documents in a number of PDF readers including Adobe as part of my job) but I can't open any PDFs using Reader. I ran "acroread" in the shell and it rendered this output:
Code: (acroread:17035): GLib-WARNING **: getpwuid_r(): failed due to unknown user id (1179128842) I've tried Googling all this, but nothing helpful has been forthcoming.

I've noticed in the last few weeks that whenever I open a PDF file in Adobe Acrobat Reader I get several files with names like 4cbe92d509fde in my /tmp directory. This happens for all PDFs, whether I download them or create them myself. Has anyone else seen this happen? It's not a big deal, since I can just rm those files. I'm just curious about how this happens, and if there's a way to stop it. I'm using Acrobat Reader 9.3.2 in F13 (32-bit).

occurring seemingly randomly, every once in a while I open a pdf and find out that all my custom settings (toolbar buttons, etc.) have been wiped out. Also, as soon as I open the pdf I'm asked to accept the licence, that I had previously accepted.It's about the second time it happens in about a week. My acrobat version is 9.3.4.

There are two things that evince does not do that I need it to do:
1) In dual page viewing mode, it needs to know what to do with the first page. Sometimes the first page is a cover, and sometimes it is not. The facing pages are not correct if the first page is not a cover page, then evince does not place the facing pages on the same screen for me
2) I want to view pages using the best fit mode. I then click on a page in the side pane and the document suddenly changes back to fit page width mode. The "save current settings ad default" does nothing
Because of this, I would like either a fix or a recommendation for a better pdf reader.

On a Debian system, I installed Adobe Acrobat Reader using the Linux binary (AdbeRdr9.4.2 1_i486linux_enu.bin) downloaded from Adobe's website. What's the right way to uninstall Reader when it was installed this way?

This isn't exactly a Linux question, because it also happens with the Windows version, but I've got a pdf file with a number of images in it. When I try to copy the image, it works except the pasted image is just a blank rectangle.I've tried this with The Gimp on Linux and Windows, Photoshop Elements on Windows, and some other programs. I get similar results from all of them. Sometimes the rectangle is transparent, sometimes black, but never the image I've selected. However the rectangle does appear to be the size of the selected image, so something is being picked up.

On a Debian system, I installed Adobe Acrobat Reader using the Linux binary (AdbeRdr9.4.2-1_i486linux_enu.bin) downloaded from Adobe's website. I realized there's a way to install it from a Debian package as opposed to Adobe's binary (and be able to keep up better with security updates), so I want to remove Adobe's version and install the Debian package. What's the right way to uninstall Reader when it was installed this way?

How do I enable Adobe Reader as the default reader in Linux automatically whenever I create a new user account? I don't want to find myself doing it for every user I create, It's too tedious if there are too many users.

Ubuntu 9.04 and a Konica 2430 DL on USB. I can get a Ubuntu test page from the printer management screen (printout says GPL. Postscript version 3010 revision 864) and I can print from Firefox. I cannot print PDFs from either Acrobat or Evince. The print jobs show up as completed in the print jobs list.

I have just updated my system from openSuse 11.1 to openSuse 11.2, all is working fine. Now I would like to install the Adobe Reader program downloading it from the official website. I can use Evince to see PDF files... Unfortunately Evince shows strange defects over the images contained in the PDF file (strange white vertical lines and other little things).
I want try to use the original Adobe reader to check if those defects will go away so I can print the document (on Windows the pdf file is displayed perfectly). I have gone to this address to download the latest version:
Adobe - Adobe Reader : For Unix : Adobe Reader 9.3.1 Linux and Solaris update - multiple languages
When I presse the "Download" button I go to another page. In this page I select the 9.3.1 version and then the "enu" directory (I suppose that "enu" stays for "english", I'm right? )
After that I block myself; as I see there are only i386 and i486 version available, but I have the i586 architecture. This means that the Adobe Reader is not available for my Linux system? Maybe I have got the wrong download address?

I normally use the Evince Document Viewer for .pdf files. However, sometimes Adobe Reader is better. I recently downloaded (the Linux version directly from the Adobe website) and installed Adobe Reader. Somehow it set the default viewer for .pdf files to Adobe Reader. Even if I right click on a .pdf document, select evince, and check the box to make evince the default viewer, the next time I click on a .pdf file Adobe Reader comes up. Adobe must have set some configuration file to force Adobe Reader to be used. Does anybody know how to change this, so Evince is my default document viewer again?
As an aside I am suspicious that Adobe plants some cookies or other bad stuff in my system and reports stuff back to Adobe. Does anybody know if this is true, and if so, how I can get rid of this stuff.

Using openSUSE 11.3 (64-bit), KDE environment. I am very, very new and inexperienced with Linux... I would like to download and read some e-books using my desktop PC. I poked around the Internet with Google and found several recommendations for an e-book reader called Calibre. So I found it in the openSUSE repository and installed v. 0.6.53-3.3.1 using YaST2. But the darned thing does not seem to work -- I click on the icon and nothing happens!!
