Hello!
On the Adobe website, there are two packages for
Acrobat Reader 7 that can be retrieved, one is a
.tar.gz, and the other is a .rpm. RPM files are normally for RedHat, and the other is probably a
general linux file.
From your list of required files, I notice you list arequirement of rpm-3.0.6 9. Does this mean I should download the RPM version? Is there a reason for one instead of the other?
When the package is downloaded, do I just use the
command
pkg_add -r acroread (that is, after I expand the file if necessary)?
Or do I need to do a make install clean in the directory created by the expansion?
I have been seeing PDF files created in versions of
Acrobat later than 5, and they won't open in AcroRead5.
Thanks for your help.

Acrobat7 is in the ports tree.
Assuming you do not have an earlier version of Acrobat Reader installed, then all you have to do to install Acrobat Reader 7 on your FreeBSD system is:
# cd /usr/ports/print/acroread7 # make # make install
It above will automagically take care of everything for you. You will probably want to make sure that your ports tree is up to date before trying to install Acroread7. Refer to the handbook for more information:
