[LBo] Adobe Acrobat Reader on FC6 x86_64

> Does anybody know if it's possible to run Acrobat Reader on a 64bit system?
Hello Bert

I installed Acrobat Reader 7.0.8 rpm package on a FC6 64bit system. I got the 
RPM package from adobe website:

http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2_allversions.html 

After the installation, I edited /usr/bin/acroread file with a text editor. 
Find the line given below:

echo $mfile| sed 's/libgtk-x11-\([0-9]*\).0.so.0.\([0-9]\)00.\([0-9]*\)\|
\(.*\)/\1\2\3/g'

Edit it and rewrite it as given below:

echo $mfile| sed 's/libgtk-x11-\([0-9]*\).0.so.0.\([0-9]*\)00.\([0-9]*\)\|
\(.*\)/\1\2\3/g'

And here is another editing. Grab the line given below:

MIN_GTK_VERSION="240"

Edit it and rewrite it as given below:

MIN_GTK_VERSION="2040"

Adobe Acrobat Reader is ready to run!

For Acobat Plugin support for firefox here is the tip:

#ln -s /usr/local/Adobe/Acrobat7.0/Browser/intellinux/nppdf.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/nppdf.so

I hope it works for you...
