Yeah we'll have to wait and see if they will confirm us. I'm not sure how long this process is as I couldn't find a statement on when. Maybe i'm just blind.

But yeah =/

It looks promising, but it's still very buggy. Not that I would expect anything else from a closed beta though. :D

It's just about time. I just get very depressive when I have to use motif, tcl/tk, and the like. I have to admit that acroread is the best viewer for rendering pdf properly (yes, yes, even better than gpdf). :wink:

I guess we can now make a ebuild request in the bugzilla, now that we have the beta file. It would be cool if the ebuild would be ready as soon as Adobe publish it final. 8)
