Adobe Acrobat Reader 5.0

[Ozzy22]

I've downloaded and installed Adobe Acrobat Reader 5.0 for Linux, but I don't know how to execute it.. can anyone help me with this pls?

My Acrobat reader is located in /usr/bin/acroread. If yours is, then just go into a terminal and type "acroread" without the inverted commas.

If it isn't, then, again in a terminal, type "whereis acroread" it will oblige and tell you.

On mine, Acrobat Reader 5 is installed in /usr/local/Acrobat5/bin . The executable file there is acroread so to execute it you could enter in a terminal window:

/usr/local/Acrobat5/bin/acroread &

The & at the end of the command allows you to continue to use the terminal window without shutting down Acrobat Reader. It is optional though.

When I tried whereis acroread on my computer running Red Hat 7.3 it just responded with acroread: . I didn't give me a location.

I thought that Adobe had stopped after version 4 for Linux. Has 5 been released?

Thanks. I was wondering if Adobe would release version 5 for Linux.
