Just in case you have this problem. I downloaded acrobat reader from the lindows warehouse (Debian system). It wouldn't open valid pdf documents or items linked on the internet.
As usual, knowing bash helps. which acroread shows that the acroread command is really a script: #!/bin/bash cd ~/MyDocuments /usr/Acrobat5/bin/acroread $* The person who wrote this script must never have tried to use it. Two errors in this script prevent acroread from working. First, it always looks for the documents in MyDocuments. Secondly, it can't handle blanks in file names. This script works: #!/bin/bash # cd ~/MyDocuments /usr/Acrobat5/bin/acroread "$*" Geez.
