| Summary: Adobe Reader for PDF Files | |
The Adobe Reader is proprietary binary-only software.
Normally Adobe Reader is used to display PDF files on the screen. For
this purpose, at least the minimum graphical system must be installed
(the packages that provide the RPM capability "XFree86-libs"). In this
case, the command "acroread file.pdf" can be used to display a PDF file
when the X Window System is up and running. For example, use "acroread
/usr/X11R6/lib/Acrobat7/Reader/help/ENU/Reader.pdf" to display the
Adobe Reader help.
The Adobe Reader can also be used as a PDF to PostScript converter. For
this purpose, no graphical system is required. For example, the command
"acroread -toPostScript -size a4 <file.pdf >file.ps" can be used to
convert a PDF file into a PostScript file that can be sent directly to
a PostScript printer. The command "acroread -help" shows the command
line options.
Adobe Reader is often the only program able to process complicated PDF
files, such as PDF forms. However, there are security leaks and other
bugs that cannot be fixed because the Adobe license forbids us to
"modify the Software in any way." See
http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/acrrdistribute.html.
Ghostscript is an alternative program for displaying and converting PDF
files. It can be used with the "gv" and "kghostview" (for KDE)
graphical front-ends. Additionally there is the "xpdf" package.

* Fri Apr 08 2005 - ghorlacher@suse.de

Which does not have the suse_update_desktop_file setup for this.
* Wed Mar 30 2005 - jsmeix@suse.de
- Added "norootforbuild".
* Wed Mar 16 2005 - ro@suse.de
- block provides and requires for internal-only copies of

- Updated to Adobe Reader 7.0.0 RC1
* Thu Dec 16 2004 - jsmeix@suse.de
- Update to version 5.010 which has a security fix that solves
a problem with malformed mail containing pdf attachments
(see SUSE bugzilla bug #49257).
* Wed Nov 17 2004 - jsmeix@suse.de
- included the icon /usr/share/pixmaps/acroread.png
which is installed by %suse_update_desktop_file
* Wed Aug 04 2004 - jsmeix@suse.de
- Update to version 5.09
* Sun Sep 07 2003 - adrian@suse.de
- raise priority of acroread on pdf files
* Thu Sep 04 2003 - mfabian@suse.de
- unset LC_ALL in start script because Acroread still dumped
core when LC_ALL was set to an UTF-8 locale
(see also Bugzilla #28718).
* Mon Aug 18 2003 - jsmeix@suse.de
- Add preun section because of the following reason:
If Acrobat Reader is run by root then a file ...Font/AdobeFnt*
is created. This file contains the actual font list of Acrobat
Reader's fonts. As the actual hostname becomes part of the
filename it must be deleted by using a wildcard.
* Mon Aug 18 2003 - ro@suse.de
- export NO_BRP_STRIP_DEBUG
* Sat Aug 16 2003 - adrian@suse.de
- install desktop file from kappfinder
* Mon Aug 11 2003 - jsmeix@suse.de
- Removed install_dir.patch because it is version dependend
as RPM_BUILD_ROOT has the version included.
Now it is done by in-place changing (using "perl -pi ...")
$RPM_BUILD_ROOT/usr/X11R6/bin/acroread
* Mon Aug 11 2003 - jsmeix@suse.de
- Security update to version 5.08 from
ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/acrobatreader/unix/5.x/linux-508.tar.gz
Reason:
A security patch was applied that solves a problem reported
with long URLs in weblinks which can cause a buffer overrun.
See
http://www.heise.de/security/news/meldung/38468
and
bugzilla.suse.de bug number 27666
* Tue Aug 05 2003 - mfabian@suse.de
- use LC_CTYPE=POSIX, otherwise acroread will dump core when
started with LC_CTYPE set to an UTF-8 locale, for example:
"LANG=en_US.UTF-8 LC_CTYPE=ja_JP.UTF-8 acroread"
* Thu Jun 26 2003 - ro@suse.de
- mention install_dir.patch as patch in specfile
- don't use literal RPM_SOURCE_DIR in specfile
* Thu Jun 26 2003 - jsmeix@suse.de
- added install_dir.patch because "use BuildRoot" sets
RPM_BUILD_ROOT=/var/tmp/acroread-5.07-build
which leads to the wrong install_dir setting.
* Tue Jun 24 2003 - jsmeix@suse.de
- Security update to version 5.0.7 from
http://download.adobe.com/pub/adobe/acrobatreader/unix/5.x/linux-507.tar.gz
Reason:
It was possible to execute shell commands which are included
in links in PDF files because the reader executes in this case
"sh -c <program> <embedded link>" - see
http://www.heise.de/newsticker/data/dab-16.06.03-000/
