I'm hoping Adobe won't take too long to get around to releasing the Linux port. The document search function in 7.0 is buggy and very slow, and I'd really like to have it working (assuming they've fixed / improved it in version 8.1).

So I've just added this line to my /etc/hosts: 127.0.0.1 www.remoteapproach.com Hopefully, that'll stop the blighters. That is a good trick! Thanks, I will still stick with kpdf as I do not see much in the Adobe reader besides the fact that load slower... to make me use it. Regards, G.

Re: [opensuse] Reading Ebooks on Linux
Have you tried other PDF clients like kpdf? I am not sure what this format is so I may be wrong but giving something else a try is a good start. What I would do is run a search in Yast to find out what readers and tools are available for pdf files.
