If you start apps from the gui menu, you lose any error messages they may give. Under such circumstances it is often more productive to start the app from the command line. So, as I said, what do yo get it you attempt to start the app from the command line. I.e. type > acroread ????? > It's what comes up when you click on a .pdf file. I have not figured out > yet where it lives. I can't find it. But it is NOT Acrobat. its probably evince the default gnome viewer. But, I'm not a gnome user so I'm just guessing here. Is there a "about" or "help" tab you could try looking at. Also, if the fonts are too small for you there is usually so option to change that. It might by part of the app or it might be a global gnome setting somewhere. Again, a gnome user should be able to help more here as I'm not one. > Again Chris, I have been able to use Acrobat on EVERY linux but FC6 so far. That is no guarantee of anything... Fedora is cutting edge and thus quite often is too new for many third party apps. Acroread is one of these. That said, it might just be you need to install some backwards compatibility libs. We won't know until you show us the *real* error messages. I.e. my first point.... Chris p.s. I realize, a few days ago I was rather rude to you on this list. I really do apologize. All I can say was "bad day at work" no excuse I know... -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
