I was fixind bugs while others were making GWN :-)

For asianfonts, please see bug #86181 https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=86181

It is quite a mess with having both /opt/Acrobat5 and /opt/Acrobat7 (and why in opt in the first place), but it works now.

It is quite slow here the first time (I don't mean the first-first time when font lists are created) on a laptop with not big memory.

Also available as a portage overlay from rsync://rsync.tar.bz/gentoo-portage-kalin/

Sorry to be OT, but I believe /opt/ is the appropriate place for binary only stuff and complies with FHS in this way. firefox-bin and openoffice-bin are in here too, among others.

I emerged it with
ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~amd64" emerge acroread
(because i have an amd64)
and it runs very fast here
I have an amd athlon64 opteron (k8n) 3000+ (2.01GHz) with 512 mb ram
acroread 7 loads in less than 2 s

Code:

$ time acroread

(acroread:15341): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "qtengine",

real    0m1.704s
user    0m0.587s
sys     0m0.079s


:) i'm very happy with this one

Sorry, I missed that point... Emerging? Do you mean it's in portage right now?


Sorry for the delay, but if you read my post I indicate that I am running unstable. I haven't verified if it is in stable yet, but as for unstable it is there.

So... if someone has sync'd, updated acroread to A7 successfully and wants the plugin to load in Firefox, what should I do? I tried the two symlink suggestions and neither worked.... The new version is nice, just can't get firefox to load the plugin....

Nevermind. Got it to work by manually copying the nppdf.so to the firefox plugins dir.... The script didn't work saying it couldn't overwrite the old file...

Even this didn't work for me, also changing the symlink was without success. I'm using Mozilla, but steps have to be very similar, I think. Mozilla says that he could not launch Acrobat7, because possibly the path is not set, but it is. Any idea?

I had to delete the one in the MozillaFirefox/plugins folder and then actually paste a new one there. For some reason trying to overwrite the symlink wasn't working. It showed up with a lock on it in Konquerer - i deleted it as root and actually pasted - not symlinked the plugin.

@tomcat22 the following was posted earlier in this thread, did you read and try it? It solved my problems, I can now view PDF's in Firefox :)

Ok. For those of you having problems with the browser plugin here is the scoop.


If you are using GTK+ <= 2.4.9 you should not be having any problems with the plugin

If you are using GTK+ > 2.4.9( ie. all you beeding-edge and gnome-2.10 types) you have probably noticed that the plugin simply does not work in the browsers.


so following a post made by firely (that genius !) here is a workaround.


Code:

mkdir /opt/Acrobat7/Reader/intellinux/lib/gui
ebuild /usr/portage/x11-libs/gtk+/gtk+-2.4.9-r1.ebuild install
cp -ax /var/tmp/portage/gtk+-2.4.9-r1/image/usr/lib/* /opt/Acrobat7/Reader/intellinux/lib/gui/


Now edit 'acoread' (/usr/bin/acroread)

find this section in the acroread script:
Code:

#
# Setup configuration specific environment variables
#
case "$ACRO_CONFIG" in
  sparcsolaris)
    LD_LIBRARY_PATH="`prepend "$ACRO_INSTALL_DIR/$ACRO_CONFIG/lib" "$LD_LIBRARY_PATH"`"
    export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
    ;;
  intellinux)
    LD_LIBRARY_PATH="`prepend "$ACRO_INSTALL_DIR/$ACRO_CONFIG/lib:$ACRO_INSTALL_DIR/$ACRO_CONFIG/sidecars" "$LD_LIBRARY_PATH"`"
    export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
    ;;
esac


now modify the LD_LIBRARY_PATH line, ie. the 'intellinux)' one to look as follows:
Code:

LD_LIBRARY_PATH="`prepend "$ACRO_INSTALL_DIR/$ACRO_CONFIG/lib/gui:$ACRO_INSTALL_DIR/$ACRO_CONFIG/lib:$ACRO_INSTALL_DIR/$ACRO_CONFIG/sidecars" "$LD_LIBRARY_PATH"`"



just to reiterate: prepend the following to the (second) LD_LIBRARY_PATH line
Code:

$ACRO_INSTALL_DIR/$ACRO_CONFIG/lib/gui:


now your browser plugin should work ;)

Those of you who are annoyed by the banner in the top right corner can disable it by going into
Edit-->Preferences-->Startup and uncheck "Show messages and automatically update".

Code:

- The autoscroll function doesn't work in Adobe Reader 7.0. The autoscroll function is normally used by pressing the wheel button of your mouse, and moving the mouse upwards or down. In internet explorer, mozilla firefox, MS office applications, this causes the program to automatically scroll the document. How can I set Reader to do the same? (I know Reader has a autoscroll function using Ctrl+Shift+H, but I would really like to have an autoscroll function that is controlled using the mouse.
Harry De Vries - 03:12am Jan 25, 2005 Pacific

from http://www.adobeforums.com/cgi-bin/webx?13@398.Sbacdx0u5Te.4@.3bb80133/0

I'd also like the middle button to autoscroll, like the firefox behavior.
Also is there a way to change the number of lines scrolled using wheel mouse up & down?

I know you guys aren't acroread devs, but maybe you can help me find some answers.

For me, the pdf files open up with blank pages using acroread7. I went back to Acroread 5.10 and the pages open just fine.

Are you guys totally ignorant of past posts.

enter this shell code:
#cd ~/.mozilla/plugins/
#ln -s /opt/netscape/plugins/nppdf.so ./

Then do this if it applies to you:

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.
