I was having some trouble with things not displaying properly in PDFs, so I downloaded the latest version of Acrobat from Adobe. When I try to open any pdf, I get a dialog saying:
Code:
There was an error while loading the plug-in 'PPKLite.api'. The plug-in failed to initialize.
well, the plugin errors are no big deal. you can just keep clicking ok and when all the plugin errors are done notifying, the pdf should open up. I had plugins problem when i was using gcc3-3.1-5, glibc3.1-5 and libstdc++3-3.1-5. I had on the whim found gcc3-3.2-7, glibc3.2-7 and libstc++3-3.2-7 packages for my redhat 7.3 box and upgraded that - plugin errors went away. It seems to me that the glibc and libstdc++ upgrade fixed it and it's my guess that adobe needs a glibc version of at least 3.2.
Although, when you said you got the latest one, did you mean from adobe.com or the latest from your distro repository?
Latest from adobe.com. I know you can click OK and it works fine, but it doesn't seem like something that should be happening. I have glibc 2.3.5. This page says "The current version is 2.3.6."
Since it's not that big of an issue, maybe I'll just ignore it and watch for the next release of acrobat.
Doesn't seem related but this is due to missing libldap.so library.
I installed the openldap-client package and the error went away. You may need to do an ldconfig after installing.
It seems that PPKLIte doesn't affect Reader's functionality, I just had to close the window every time and then Reader started up.
So what I did was to remove the execute permission forr PPKLite.api and not making it executable. I guess another way would be to delete the file entirely-again, since it seems that acrobat works fine without it.
I guess that installing the OpenLDAP suite also fixes the problem, but this seemed quicker. I found some info on it in a Brazilian e-zine, slackwarezine.com.br
Reader 7.0.5
cd /usr/local/Adobe/Acrobat7.0/Reader/intellinux/plug_ins/
chmod -v 777 PPKLite.api = problem rwxrwxrwx
chmod -v 766 * = no problem rwxrw-rw-
chmod -v 755 * = problem rwxr-x-r-x
chmod -v 744 * = no problem rwxr--r--
chmod -v 733 * = no problem rwx-wx-wx
chmod -v 722 * = no problem rwx-w--w-
chmod -v 711 * = no problem rwx--x--x
chmod -v 700 * = no problem rwx------
Now if someone wants to add that OpenLDAP program to... oh yah I did from linuxpackages.org before doing this test... That is unless it needs some symbolic links to certian lib-files?
PS. 5 min after my post:
--7.0.8 is now out so this should no longer be a problem.

FYI: I am running Ubuntu 6.06 and just downloaded the .rpm from Adobe's site (7.0.8 version; uninstalled the 7.0.1 version available from the default repositories). I was having this error and I installed libldap2-dev version 2.1.30-12ubuntu3 using Synaptic Package Manager and the error went away.
I had the same problem with Adobe 7.0.9 on a Slacware 10.2 box. Changing the name to xPPKLite.api didn't help, nor did changing permissions to 644 (though, to be fair, I didn't try all of the various permissions like Theta13579 did). Moving the file to another directory worked, as did changing '.api' to '.000' (or probably anything else, for that matter).
