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.
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 ?
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 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.

Adobe Reader: [URL] Which package shall I download? Where shall I retain the package to install so that it can be detected on browsing?
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).

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?
On my system, System->Preferences->Software Updates, as best I can determine, completely ignores the "Check for updates: " setting. It looks as if, regardless of what I set, I get daily checks. Is anybody else experiencing this? Anybody got a fix? I like the idea of having the system check for me, so I don't want to just pitch the program.
Every time I open "sound preferences" from either the sound applet or the preferences menu pulseaudio CPU usage goes right up to 100% and proceeds to lock up the entire computer. pavucontrol, paman, and all the other pulseaudio utils work fine, except for ubuntu's sound preferences. It affects a new account.This is my 10.04 desktop that is affected. I have just the default pulseaudio config.
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.
Is their a program in ubuntu that can match adobe acrobat 9 pro extended?Or what is the best ubuntu PDF program, that can allow the most features seen in adobe acrobat 9 pro extended.
As with almost every time I try to simultaneously install two operating systems, I have incurred the wrath of GRUB. It's probably more to do with my laptop's terrible hard drive, but here's my problem: I had a 9.10 install and a swap space on this hard drive, then I used GParted from the BT live CD to resize shrink the Ubuntu partition to make space for a BT install. I booted into Ubuntu just to make sure it was working fine. it was. Then I went back in to the BT live CD to install it on the free space.
When I booted up after install, the GRUB screen had changed (obviously), but now only the BT installation (which appeared as Ubuntu 8.10 for some reason) would boot, The previous Ubuntu installs had stopped working, and now came up with "file missing" or "file not found" (cant remember). I tried fsck -v /dev/hda1 (where my 9.10 installation was), and it didn't seem to have any errors. What's wrong with my computer (or GRUB)?
I let the updater change my menu.lst file in Jaunty. It reported an error but I had no problems until I noticed Windows XP was gone. I rarely use it but now I am teaching a computer class on how to use Widows so I have to fix it tonight.
The system is a Dell 531 with 2 gigs of ram and 2 drives.There are 2 menu.lst files in Grub , menu.lst and menu.lst~ . Is the one with the ~ after it the backup? If so how do you restore it?
I've just installed Windows 7 in a separate partition to play with. Trouble is, it's wiped out GRUB. I was expecting this and I know last time this happened it was easy to fix. The forum serch found a thread with 3 ways to re-install GRUB. I've tried each, and none have wored. Methods I've tried
1) The aptitude install grub-pc command ran and said it had worked correctly. On re-bootong, Windows started without any GRUB screens on the way.
2) The chroot method stated it installed correctly after raising a few warnings - after I used the --force command, as the install failed without it. Again, reboot and get Windows without a GRUB screen...
3) Normal grub-install command (no chroot). This went as per the chroot command.
From where I'm sat, it looks like I'll have to do a clean Linux re-install on the disk and then restore my linux files again from a back-up - something I'm not particularly over-joyed by the prospect of...
i am trying to open shared pdfs through samba with Adobe Acrobat but nothing seems to happen with evince i cant open shared pdfs successfully in windows i can open the shared pdfs with Acrobat successfully
Wanted to restore laptop to Windows 7 and put Ubuntu on another machine. The Laptop is an Acer and the Win 7 disks go into a propitiatory recovery screen. I have 3 choices reload Win 7 to new state, Load Win 7 and put everything in backup or Exit.
I have loaded the Ubuntu 10:10 Live and downloaded ms-sys. The problem is Ubuntu is unable to mount the HDD - not in fstab.
I am trying to stop acrobat automatically opening and embedding a pdf reader in firefox whenever I download a pdf. I can't for the life of me find a way to turn it off (short of editing a file called pluginreg.dat which clearly states "Do not edit").
I have tried the following:
about:config in firefox gives me no option to disable plugins of any kind (odd, as others report that that is where one does this kind of thing using plugin.disable_full_page_plugin_for_types or some such, but nothing like that is there for me)
edit->preferences->applications is no help. it says "portable document format" should lead to an "always ask" question. clearly, this is being overridden
finally, disabling acrobat settings like "allow fast web view" does nothing.
I have been able to successfully install Acrobat 4 on CrossOver 8.0.0. I recently purchased Acrobat 9, but could not install it. Everything seems to go smoothly except that the serial number is rejected by the Acrobat installer.
1. Has anybody successfully installed a recent version of Acrobat on WINE or CrossOver?
2. What is it about WINE that would interfere with the serial number?
(I successfully installed on WinXP, so I do have a good S/N.)
