I put mine in /opt/Adobe/Acrobat7.0. I know it's a bit Sun-centric. However, it works for me. I then made a link from /opt/Adobe/Acrobat7.0/bin/acroread to /usr/local/bin/acroread. This got my command line (and KDE menu) running. I ran the install_browser_plugin script with the global options to set up nppfd.so for Firefox. Unfortunately, the script copies the shared library instead of making a symbolic link. I went through and deleted /usr/lib/firefox-1.0.1/plugins/nppdf.so and made the symbolic link to /opt/Adobe/Acrobat7.0/Browser/intellinux/nppdf.so All is well, scroll wheel works, speed is much better, and graphics are much better. All in all, a reasonable use of disk space. -- Mark Eggers <mdeggers@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
