dmzeplin Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 I was surprised to see what kind of graphic I get from Acrobat Reader?? At first, I tried to get from MCC to install it... but they doesn't have it, I also, urpmi acrobat reader, but it said perl-patchreader or qfaxreader. So, I decided to find RPM from website and found acroread-5.0.10.2.norlug, and installed it. But wow the graphic must be bad... it look like only black and white color and look like 1700's?? Is that supposed to be?? :unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coverup Posted February 27, 2005 Share Posted February 27, 2005 Acrobat Reader is distributed as a tar.gz archive. Go to http://mirror.aarnet.edu.au, and click 'Adobe Acrobat Reader' (the first line under Unix/Linux). Save the file, uncompress it with gzip -d, then unpack with tar -xvf. Then you should be able to see installation instructions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iphitus Posted February 27, 2005 Share Posted February 27, 2005 Yeah, its an ugly program, but it gives the best output of PDFs. There's a beta version of a newer one, which may be nicer which im downloading now via bittorrent... i'll let you know what its like and link the torrent if its any good.

dmzeplin Posted March 1, 2005 Author Share Posted March 1, 2005 I was wondering if I should uninstall the first Acrobat Reader before I start install the new one? Or just install and overwrite the current Acrobat Reader?? BTW, how is the output? Did it look better from Bittorrent?? Let me know... I have not install yet...

aioshin Posted March 1, 2005 Share Posted March 1, 2005 I've been using Acrobat Reader that I downloaded from adobe website and it seems fine to me.. the documents only goes black when you minimize the window, but generally, I find it ok.... have you tried to install the reader from Adobe.com?

Artificial Intelligence Posted March 1, 2005 Share Posted March 1, 2005 You could also try with 'xpdf'. It's much nicer IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
