Hi,
I have Adobe Acrobat Reader DC installed in F37 via Snap. When I
click on a pdf attachment in Thunderbird Daily I get a prompt asking
if I want to view it in the Ocular default or save the attachment. If
I click "OK" to display it in Ocular it displays fine.
When I click on the Drop Down in the prompt and select "Other"
to display the pdf in something other than Ocular I am not shown
Acrobat in the list, but if I look at "KDE System
Settings->Applications->File Associations->application->pdf" Adobe
Acrobat is shown as the third entry in the list of applications. If I
move Adobe Acrobat to the top then the prompt from Thunderbird shows
Adobe Acrobat as the default as expected.
With the prompt now asking if I want to view the pdf in Acrobat,
if I click on "OK" Acrobat is launched but produced the error "There
was an error opening this document. This file cannot be found". If I
edit the pdf association entry for Acrobat and add "%U" into the
empty Arguments text box, in the same way it is specified for the
Ocular entry, Acrobat still produces the error message that it can't
find the file. Has the snap process not installed Acrobat correctly,
or is the file argument for Acrobat not "%U", or is there something
else at play here?
This seems like it is more a question that should be asked of snap or
adobe. Unless someone else has this snap installed, and it is working
for them, or snap in general is failing on fedora. I don't use snap
so I don't know. Is there any way to get more debugging information?
Like, what is the filename it is looking for? Is it looking in the
wrong place? Maybe it is nelinux context missing. Have you tried
running with selinux in permissive mode?
I seem to remember that the method for installing acrobat in Fedora used
to be a 3rd party repository I think was provided by Adobe, but I
believe Adobe stopped supporting Acrobat in Linux some time ago.
The reason I'm using snap is all the hits I found from Google on
installing Acrobat in Fedora all said to use snap to do it and provided
the relevant snap commands. I also don't know at the moment who supports
snap and how.
I have no idea if there is any way to get extra debugging information
nor do I know how to put Selinux in passive mode, but I would have
thought that if it was an Selinux issue that Selinux would have produced
a pop-up for the exception with instructions on how to resolve it, like
it did for the snap processes when snap was initially installed.
Also if it was an Selinux issue I would have thought the process for
extracting the attachment from the mail and passing it to Ocular would
also fail.
One issue might be that the %U parameter specified for Ocular to give it
the location of the extracted file may not be the correct parameter for
Acrobat.
regards,
Steve
