Out in the Linux file explorer, a right-click on a PDF gave me a menu, with Adobe Reader at the top of the list.

I clicked on that, went through the license agreement, and confirmed that Reader was able to open a PDF. I saw that I had a new icon in my Start menu (that is, in what would be the Start menu in Windows: Start > Office > Adobe Reader 9. I saved and closed the defaults.list file. I also confirmed that there was no reference to Foxit, which I had already installed and used as a PDF reader. In defaults.list, I looked for the line referring to “application/pdf.” Mine read, “application/pdf=sktop sktop.” I changed it to read simply “application/pdf=sktop.” As UbuntuMag advised, I also added these lines to the end of the application section in defaults.list, after searching to verify that there were not already similar lines (referring to e.g., “fdf”) somewhere in defaults.list: application/fdf=sktop

Moving on, I ran sudo gedit /etc/gnome/defaults.list to open the list of default programs. Nspluginwrapper had apparently been marked as obsolete, so it wouldn’t be coming back. The following packages have unmet dependencies:Īcroread : Depends: nspluginwrapper but it is not installableĮ: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. Sudo add-apt-repository -r 'deb precise partner'īut when I tried those commands, I got this: (Note additional commands recommended by AskUbuntu.) UbuntuMag said these commands would also work: sudo add-apt-repository 'deb precise partner' For the latest version offered on that page (9.5.5), I found. If that was the case, it was no longer true as of this writing: I did find an Adobe download page for Reader version 9 (with versions 7 and 8 as alternatives). There appeared to be reports that this meant the Linux versions of Adobe programs were no longer available for download from the Adobe website. Success with Adobe Reader 9, Linux VersionĪt a certain point circa 2014, Adobe ceased to support Linux. On the other hand, it seemed that Wine often worked better with somewhat older versions of various programs. Which of those versions was best for Linux? As discussed in another post, there appeared to be an ongoing need for relatively recent versions of Reader - for example, to handle increasingly complex tax forms generated in government offices where the latest version of Adobe Reader was assumed to be universally available. The Softpedia download button likewise offered version 11.0.10, as well as several earlier versions. For example, in my Cameyo explorations, I had gathered that version 11.0.08 was optimal for Windows XP SP3. The latter’s download button opened into an Adobe page offering multiple versions, depending upon the operating system specified.

The first question was, which version of Adobe Reader? A Softpedia search produced links to Portable Adobe Reader 9.0 and also to the installer version. This post describes my efforts to run Adobe Reader in Linux Mint.
