The Acrobat Reader does not funktionate anymore : So I tried to

it with AdbeRdr9.5.5-1_i486linux_enu.rpm .
I get the message "build transaction failure , conflicting requests ;

You can solve this problem by not using this ancient, unsupported
piece
of software which contains a lot of unpatched security bugs.
There are quite a few PDF readers available in the Fedora repositories
(Okular, Evince, MuPDF, …) you can choose from. Very likely there's
already one installed that came with your DE. Otherwise, pick the one
that suits you best.
Hi,
I agree that choosing an OSS pdf viewer is the best. However is there a
viewer that can handle animation? This is the only reason I sometimes
use
acroread.
An example of what I am talking about is in this file (created by
LaTeX):
there is a file in there called stadoc.pdf which has the animation on
Page 5, Movie 1.
https://wol-prod-cdn.literatumonline.com/pb-assets/assets/20491573/Stat_AutClass_v4_rev-1508937938000.zip
When I try to read it in evince or okular, in the first case, nothing
happens with the animation. In the case of okular, I get a blank gray
square where the animation is. (All this with F28: I do not know if
upgrading F29 will fix that in the sense that if there is an upgrade to
evince or okular.)
Joining the chorus of those who use AdobeReader, two benefits:
- Adobe has tabs rather than individual windows in order to view several
documents at once;
- Adobe's save-as-text function sometimes works better than pdftotext;
since
there is no standardization of pdf files, sometimes one tool renders
the text
better than the other (YMMV)
I managed to install AdbeRdr9.5.5-1_i486linux_enu.rpm and it works
correctly.
First:
dnf install libidn1.34-1.34-1.fc29.i686
Then,
rpm -ivh --force AdbeRdr9.5.5-1_i486linux_enu.rpm
YMMV & fyi,
Max Pyziur
