have downloaded adbeRdr 9,5,5,-i386 linux_enu.deb and unpacked in terminal. when i wanted to install it, it says - bad quality package - and that installation could damage my PC. has anybode had this kind of experience yet ? if it is really dangerous I rather not install it. I have to work with a lot with pdf and cannot print the documentviewer. thanking in advance,

I'm running Adobe Reader 9.5.4 01/09/2013 on my Ubuntu 14.04 with no problems. I wasn't aware that there was a different version number.

Why do you unpack a <package.deb> ? ?
Only required if you for some reason want to inspect / repack files.

HOWTO, AdbeRdr9.5.5-1_i386linux_enu.deb

Hello Knudfl, I followed the instructions on another website - how to install Adobe Reader in Ubuntu 14.10, where it advised to got to handbook utopic to add a repository - r deb http archive canonical. com /precise partner. this also recommand to uninstall the repository after successfull installation. Guess have to uninstall this repository in terminal before following your advice ?
many thanks,
miramarcos

Would be better to remove - if not in use, but not really relevant.

have installed Acrobatreader successfully, but still cannot print out, should I set Adobe as default pdf in order to print pdfs ?

can you print from other apps? What kind of os/gui do you have?

miramarcos · 11-10-2014, 09:54 AM

Hello, have ubuntu 14.04 installed and yes, can print other files, only the one which I have to work - print a lot is pdf, which doesn-t work now.
many thanks for your help,

I guess the default "Ubuntu pdf reader" is still 'evince' :

$ sudo apt-get install evince

... Please try if you can get a print out with evince.

hello, no cannot print in evince - document viewer - as well. think I m missing a plugin for acrobatreader, but cannot download it for the 9 acrobatreader
