The problem seems to have been reported with 24bpp (I run at 24bpp and have no problem). Some more info: http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=enth=eec33ddccdd992edrnum=1 I cannot even get the acrobat window to choose the settings... is there any default configure file where I can uncheck the anti-aliasing? acroread --helpall might give a clue: -visual visual class [depth=depth] -visual id=visual id -visual best -visual default Specifies a visual. In the first form, the visual class (specified by either its name or number) with an option depth determine the visual to use. In the second form, the visual id is specified. The prefix 0x must be used for hexadecimal numbers. The third form uses an internal algorithm based on depth and visual class. The fourth form simply uses the default visual. Note that PseudoColor visuals of depth greater than 8, and DirectColor visuals are not supported. Other possible solutions: * Change your X display depth and try again. * Do some searches on acroread and your display driver. Perhaps there is an incompatibility in the driver. That's about all I can suggest. If you don't find a solution (or you do and the Debian developers should know about it) file a bug report: http://www.debian.org/Bugs/Reporting And in the meantime use another PDF viewer such as gv or xpdf.

acroread broken? (potato)
Having just received a very amazing CD, enjoying it on a Mac and a Windoze machine, I thought acroread would probably work with it. I get messages about compressed pdf from other pdf readers. There is some problem with graphics rendering on the potato system, and when I try to follow links, I get either a segmentation fault or some other error. When I run ldd the following happens: $ ldd /usr/lib/Acrobat4/Reader/intellinux/bin/acroread libreadcore.so = not found libAGM.so = not found libCoolType.so = not found libICC.so = not found libXt.so.6 = /usr/lib/libc5-compat/libXt.so.6 (0x4000c000) libXext.so.6 = /usr/lib/libc5-compat/libXext.so.6 (0x4004f000) libX11.so.6 = /usr/lib/libc5-compat/libX11.so.6 (0x4005a000) libm.so.5 = /lib/libm.so.5 (0x400fa000) libdl.so.1 = /lib/libdl.so.1 (0x40103000) libc.so.5 = /lib/libc.so.5 (0x40106000) libSM.so.6 = /usr/lib/libc5-compat/libSM.so.6 (0x401c4000) libICE.so.6 = /usr/lib/libc5-compat/libICE.so.6 (0x401cd000) $ Apparently those libaries that are not found ARE in the distribution, in acroread's directories. Can I reasonably get this thing to work right, or am I stuck until Adobe chooses to release a binary compatible with my libaries? Or what?
