need help with getting acrobat reader to run

Hockeyfan · 05-27-2004, 08:41 PM

I just downloaded a copy of acrobat reader from adobe's website. I ran
the ./INSTALL command and it installed the files into the directory /usr/local/Acrobat5. When I tried to run the program I get this:

[root@Hockeyfan root] # /usr/local/Acrobat5/bin/acroread somepdf.pdf
Warning: charset "UTF-8" npot supported using "ISO8859-1"
Aborted
[root@Hockeyfan root] #

Does anyone know how to fix this so that I can view pdf files?

Thanks,

Hockeyfan

try this:
env LC_ALL=en_US /usr/local/Acrobat5/bin/acroread somepdf.pdf

if this works, you can create a little script:
#!/bin/bash
env LC_ALL=en_US /usr/local/Acrobat5/bin/acroread $1

name it acroread, and place it in /usr/bin, make it executable and you can start acroread with just acroread (without the full path).
