Many thanks to all!

So that now, if you still want to use Adobe for Linux, you have to
save an old rpm and install it directly. And do it every time you
reinstall Fedora--or at least reinstall it cleanly.
I need advice on whether I can abandon Adobe Reader completely, and
what to use instead.
I use it all the time for certain PDF's that come with form fields
that you fill out. Not all PDF viewers--and not the PDF viewer native
to Firefox--support form filling. Without form filling, I have to fill
in forms by hand--and my fist is a bit of a strain on anyone's eyes,
especially those of a bureaucrat or his confidential secretary. So I
need form filling.
That aside, I'd love to have something that opens seemlessly in any
browser window.
For the record, I use KDE. But I'll still use any GNOME products that
still open in KDE.

I think Master PDF Editor 4 will do what you want. It runs fine on my
PCLOS KDE 5 (and ran on KDE 4 also). I haven't tried to fill in
anything, but it is an *editor* so it should work. And it is available
in RPM format, which should make it easy for a Fedora user to install.

Can we assume you've started firefox in -safe-mode to eliminate an extension as the problem? 2. You've switched to chrome. Is there something wrong with chrome that is making you look elsewhere?

Most of the time, it works OK, but it seems that there's always some new thing in Adobe that Okular and the others haven't caught up with, and those companies and agencies that like to use the latest Adobe features make forms that just don't work in linux. I have about an 85% success rate for PDF forms using Okular. billo ___ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org

choices for reliable, secure browser for fedora 27 and beyond?
currently running fedora 27 on my asus laptop, and i've previously whined about how cripplingly slow the firefox browser is, to the point where i had to kill it and restart it several times a day (memory leak?). more recently, it simply locks up my entire system, typically within only minutes of my starting it, to the point where i've bailed on it and switched to chrome. at this point, since i'm not wedded to any particular browser, i'm open to suggestions for a simple, fast, reliable and secure browser for fedora. of course there is always opera (which i haven't used in quite some time so i have no idea how well that fits the bill). and if i choose to stick with chrome, i just ran across what looks like a hardened version of it, iridium: https://iridiumbrowser.de/downloads/fedora i'm sure there are other possibilities, so i'm open to suggestions. i really wish i knew why firefox was treating me so badly, but i've given up trying to figure it out and just want to move on. rday -- Robert P.
