Re: cannot run Adobe Reader

2012-11-25 Thread David King, linux user

I use Adobe Reader for its booklet printing ability. I have not found a FOSS 
pdf reader that can do that.

Perhaps an multi-architecture issue? Do you run an Ubuntu Studio amd64
install? If so, is libxml2:i386 installed?

Is Adobe reader needed for something? I'm not dogmatic, I use
proprietary software myself, but only if needed. Why do you want Adobe
reader?

Re: cannot run Adobe Reader

2012-11-25 Thread David King, linux user
Booklet printing is where you can print a document of several pages long, but 
each page is reduced to fit on half the sheet, and all in the correct order so 
that when printed the whole lot can be stapled and folded to form a booklet, 
albeit smaller than the original document. Currently I now have to go into 
Windows, via Virtualbox  to do this. I realise Ubuntu developers cannot fix 
Adobe Reader, but it seems to rely on libxml2, which is part of Linux, and the 
error message suggests that's where the problem lies, as it used to work 
previously before one of the updates I did in Ubuntu Studio.

I would file wishlist bugs with the foss projects in question. We can't
include adobe reader. We also can't fix it if its broken. I would contact
adobe for support of the adobe products. I would be glad to help track down
booklet printing if you'd elaborate as to what that is. Also, in the
interest of casting a wider support query, you might seek help in the main
ubuntu avenues as this issue is not ubuntustudio specific. Cheers.
