Acrobat Reader SFS

Forum member sszindian reported that the Acrobat Reader (PDF reader) from the Lucid repo on ibblio.org works fine in Racy. It will probably work in Wary too, so I have uploaded it to the Wary/Racy SFS repo.

Or rather sszindian tested the PET on the Lucid repo, but they also have a SFS file, so I got the latter.

Here it is (61MB):

One area where you would want this rather than the ePDFView Poppler-based viewer, is for editable PDF files, those that have fields that can be filled in.

"Editable fields in PDF would sto me from going to Microsoft/Apple to process a PDF form. Might you also consider adding the PET to the PPM for the Live media community? Just a thought

"A better option is probably the Windows version of Foxit reader, via Wine. This also supports adding annotations and some other cool but highly obscure things. Acrobat reader can only add annotations to a PDF if someone with Acrobat professional (not even standard!) has specifically enabled this in the PDF... I'm not sure I've ever seen such a PDF in the wild.
