Unfortunately, SCIM doesn't work in Acrobat Reader 8. Neither with
GTK_IM_MODULE=xim, nor with GTK_IM_MODULE=scim.
However, getting SCIM to run even with Adobe Reader 7 is a bit tricky
if one wants to keep recommended GTK_IM_MODULE=scim. I have a question
and a suggestion:
1. Is the purpose of
case ${ADOBE_LANG} in
.
JPN) : ${GTK_IM_MODULE:=xim}; export GTK_IM_MODULE ;;
to override any other existing value?
2. My suggestion is to enhance this idea to all languages in the
following way (that overcomes one SCIM problem described below).
Namely, if you have this in xinitrc:
GTK_IM_MODULE=xim
QT_IM_MODULE=xim
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
SCIM will work everywhere (incl. Reader 7), but it will behave very
badly in GTK applications. If you use SCIM's recommended values:
GTK_IM_MODULE=scim
QT_IM_MODULE=scim
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
it will not work in Linux and QT apps (incl. Reader 7). The problem
is (I don't know if this is FreeBSD specific) that GTK_IM_MODULE,
once set to 'scim', can't be changed to 'xim' in the same X session,
so the line like aforementioned JPN-specific setting will not have
any effect in such environment. The same goes for XMODIFIERS once set
to @im=SCIM.
The workaround I found is to use the following unusual values:
GTK_IM_MODULE=scim
QT_IM_MODULE=scim
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
(start "scim -d" manually in ~/.xinitrc)
and to use this code in /usr/local/bin/acroread (for all languages):
if [ "${GTK_IM_MODULE}" = "scim" ]; then
if [ "x$XIM_PROGRAM" != "x" ]; then
export XIM_PROGRAM=""
echo "WARNING: \$XIM_PROGRAM variable sometimes can't be"
echo "effectively changed. If you have problems running"
echo "SCIM, don't define it in your xinitrc."
fi
if [ "$XMODIFIERS" = "@im=SCIM" ]; then
echo "WARNING: If you have problems running SCIM, please"
echo "try to set \$XMODIFIERS to \"@im=XIM\" (instead of"
echo "\"@im=SCIM\") in your xinitrc."
fi
export GTK_IM_MODULE=xim
export [EMAIL PROTECTED]
fi
This way, SCIM will work optimally in both GTK apps and Acrobat
Reader 7.
Best regards.

Re: Adobe Reader 8 ports
Hiroki Sato,
thank you for the port.

Hello all,
As you already noticed, ports of Adobe Reader 8.1.1 have been
committed. I tested the functionality as much as I could, but the 15
languages are beyond me anyway ;) So, please try them and let me know
if it works well on your environment or not.
It works well on my FreeBSD 8.0-CURRENT (i386) [AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2
Dual Core Processor 4200+] from today in german language. Only Reader
version 8 is installed. Until now I found no errors or misbehaviour.

${PREFIX}/bin/acroread invokes 8.x if both 7.x and 8.x are installed.
The logic of "acroread" is as follows:
if ($ADOBE_VER == 7)
invoke 7.x
elif ($ADOBE_VER == 8)
invoke 8.x
elif (exists 8.x)
invoke 8.x
elif (exists 7.x)
invoke 7.x
fi
You can also use "acroread7" or "acroread8" if you want to run the
specific version.
If a localized version is installed and $ADOBE_LANG is set, the
localized version is invoked. The logic is the following:
if (not defined $ADOBE_LANG)
if (defined $LANG)
set $ADOBE_LANG based on $LANG
else
ADOBE_LANG:=ENU (english version)
fi
fi
if (exists Adobe Reader in $ADOBE_LANG)
invoke Adobe Reader in $ADOBE_LANG
else
invoke Adobe Reader in ENU (english version)
fi
Known problems:
- Adobe Reader 8 needs libgtkembedmoz.so to render HTML documents.
The current ports use it from www/linux-nvu which is the one that
works well in my investigation. The FreeBSD native libraries from
xulrunner or firefox do not work AFAICT. Please let me know if
you have another solution---such as another more stripped-down
distribution including libgtkembedmoz.so or so.
- XIM does not work at least in japanese/acroread8 even if
GTK_IM_MODULE=xim is defined. Since several Linux users around me
pointed out this, this seems not FreeBSD-specific. I have heard
that SCIM works, but I do not check it yet.
- Gothic font family is not supported in japanese/acroread8. I am
not sure why, but Adobe does not provide it.
