Re: [CentOS] acrobat reader for x86_64?
With regard to reading PDFs on 64 bit *nix, I use Google Chrome. It handle PDFs without a plugin. One of the things I like about Acrobat Reader is the Advanced search option which shows found text strings in context. Chrome doesn't do that, but it does show where they are found in the slider controlling the page.

Fred: Adobe doesn't seem to have acroread for x86_64 linux, or at least I don't see it anywhere. Anybody know otherwise? They produce a Linux RPM.
