Code: | # emerge -C -pv acroread |
will show you, what version you have instaled by portage
in my opinion, portage put acrobat to /opt/Acrobat5 or /opt/Acrobat7, so maybe you instaled version 5 other way
also I though, that acroread is not slotted, so emerging v7 will automaticly remove version5 |

You're right, I must have installed it from a tarball instead of portage (back when I first got started with gentoo). |

thx guys, i can get acrobat working in firefox.
just 1 more thing however, when i install additional extensions to firefox, acrobat refuse to work again... i have either opened too many tabs (8 might be on start up???) or i have installed too many exts?? surely, if i remove the .mozilla and start from the beginning acrobat will work.

I can confirm that this works, although I had to slightly edit it:
Code: | ebuild /usr/portage/x11-libs/gtk+/gtk+-2.4.9-r2.ebuild install |
-r1 didn't compile, r2 did however, and now the plugin works. |
THANK you! I don't know why I didn't try this myself, but as nobody else seemed to have problems with -r1 I just assumed it's an error on my side.
Now I finally have a featurecomplete PDF-Plugin in FF. Finally! And with a distinctly more akzeptable gui, too.
Ciao, Jan |

Also, the Acroread program doesn't come up at all. |

I never could get version 7 working on my system. I tried everything here. Have masked version 7 and gone back to version 5.10 that works properly. Version 7 does not work correctly on my husband's windows xp system either. So I know it is not just a linux problem. |

After trying acroread I claimed, that kpdf doesn't need to be replaced by any other program. _________________ http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Index

yaneurabeya: Same here. Looking at your earlier error, I'm tempted to blame scim (which I have a history of other trouble with). Have you filed a bug report about this? |

Yeah, I did actually. SCIM seems to screw up more junk than it's worth-which is sad since it's the best working IME available for Linux right now ... |

Hi there...
Following the instructions from this topic I've managed to get acroread 7 working perfectly in my system (including the firefox plug-in). Strange enough, I get the following when I try to open this file:http://www.math.uio.no/~bratteli/bratrob/VOL-2S~1.PDF
Code: | Could not open the file: the root object is missing or invalid. |
The thing is that the file is OK, you can open up in acroread 5 or kpdf. I think it's a bug. Did you guys happen to get something similar with another file?
The file for wich I get this error has nothing especial in it (no form, no slide, no multimedia content, only text and hiperlinks). |

I'm downgrading since it seems like version 7 is really buggy still... |

i noticed that acroread 7 has a great new feature of commenting, but you need acrobat in order to enable this in a pdf doc. is there a linux way to do this?

Commenting's been around since acrobat 6 I think... Or at least my TA's are commenting my homework with different versions than what's available in the computer labs here. |

I tried the solutions in this thread (emerging old gtk, changing the acroread script) but again, the plugin does still not work. Any solutions?
thanks

The fix worked.
I had additionally to copy (or symlink) all files in the /lib directory to the /gui directory
now it works perfectly |

I installed Acrobat 7.0 rpm with KPackage. As it seem to be normal with gentoo and Kpackage, they do not work so easy together. Gentoo uses links to lib and Kpackage does not accept those, so the dependency check fails. Just install without dependency check.
Then you get the next error PPKlib.api fails. You can simply rename it to PPKlib.apidontdoit and it works fine. The real problem is that this api wants to have emerge openldap to be happy.
Don't kwow how to find this, except googling on the internet for PPKLite.api. |

Acrobat 7 and Firefox -
Before this last Tuesday, Firefox would not launch Acrobat Readerplugin (v7). I could change settings, you name it. It wouldn't work.
I recompiled the entire system and cleaned it up a bit. (emerge -e system; emerge kde-meta)
In order to emerge kde-meta, I had to unmerge a rather large number of KDE 3.2 and KDE 3.3 files.
But now, Firefox launches Acrobat Reader plugin. I didn't touch Firefox, or Acrobat reader, during the compile.
[scratching head]
So I still don't know what was causing the issue, maybe a mismatch of some kind in KDE?
But it works, now. _________________ Live large. |

Has anyobody else experienced a massive slowdown in starting the newest version of Acrobat Reader 7? It's always been pretty slow (compared to xpdf and such) and used to take about 15-20 seconds to start. Now I'm up to:
Quote: | >time acroread
real 0m53.968s
user 0m46.167s
sys 0m0.720s |
This is, as you might understand, painful to wait for. I've had problems with massive fragmentation on my ReiserFS disk, but repartitioned my HDD yesterday, changing parts of it to ext3 and did the copy/reformat/copy-routine on the ReiserFS disk. It solved other speed issues (like very long emerge --sync time) but this issue is still with me. Haven't seen any post about it on the forum. I know that Reader5 was pretty slow and right out ugly, but Reader7 has treated me better so far (until a month ago).
My packages are:
Quote: | * app-text/acroread-7.0.5-r1 |
I think it was the upgrade to 7.0.5 from 7.0.1 that caused it to slow down.. Anyone else experiencing this problem? _________________ Weeks of coding can save you hours of planning. |

Yes, I have the same problem with acroread-7.0.5-r1.
There is some disk work at the beginnig, when I start it for the first time,
then I does something (process load at 100% ) for aprox. one minute.
And finaly it running without problem.
I've found on inet, that this version send info when you read some document.
It use HTTP and std. port 80, and I have HTTP acces just through proxy
so first time, I think there is the problem.
Is it possible in your case?
Other question: what do you know about defragentation of linux FS
(I'm on ext3)? As my portage operation are VERY slow. I have slow disk,
I know, but It seems to be worth as the time comes.
Some one said me that reiser is better for the lot of small files (i.e. for portage tree)
Do you think so too?
Thanks, Jan |
