=Ver: 2.0 ##---------------------------------------- =Pkg: acroread 8.1.2 1.3 i586 =Sum: Adobe Reader for PDF Files +Des: The Adobe Reader is proprietary binary-only software. Usually, the Adobe Reader is used to read PDF files. For this purpose, you need a minimum graphical system (the packages that provide the RPM capability "XFree86-libs"). If so, 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. No graphical system is required for this purpose. Use the "acroread -toPostScript -size a4 file.ps" command 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.
