I think the main question is self-sufficient. To add things that I tried: I am on a linux machine so I was trying opensource options, and qpdf was the software I was already using. Tried to seek answer from google but couldn't find my answer from the links google indexed. Tried getting answers from chatgpt but it told me to use acrobat instead because qpdf is not as good as acrobat. Being on a linux machine I just installed acrobat using wine, but I still have to use acrobat. I thought of asking the question here while trying the acrobat way, because I would prefer something opensource.

I have the PureOS with GNOME3 but am having difficulty installing WINE . I need Wine in order to be able to use Adobe Acrobat Reader DC for my job. I am a rank beginner in Linux, so if someone could walk me through the steps as if teaching a baby I´d really appreciate it! :) I tried using instructions for Debian, upon which PureOS is based, but it was too complex for me. I don´t know how to use a text editor in Linux. **Update**: I used Nano text editor, and, yes, it was incredibly easy to use! I followed the instructions on the WineHQ website for Debian, but this is the message I got:

q@q-pc:/etc/apt$ sudo apt install --install-recommends winehq-stable

I want to show two pages of a pdf document at the same time in PDF viewer such that 1. be able to scroll pages 1,..,N-1 at the left-hand-side view 2. show all the time page N at the rigth hand-side view The reason is that I am inputing data on pages 1,..,N-1 from the user, while the page N aggregates the data on page N. So I want to show all the time the last page. Maybe, it is possible somehow in some internet browser. OS: Debian 9 PDF viewer: any PDF viewer, but preferably Adobe acroread with Javascript installed like here Internet browsers: Firefox 52.2.x, Google Chrome 59.x

I'm a professional typesetter and I really need to use Acrobat Reader DC on my Ubuntu 16.04 machine. I installed it via playonlinux. I call it by command line with: playonlinux --run Adobe\ Acrobat\ Reader\ DC mypdffile.pdf My question is: can I make Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome open a pdf file with Acrobat Reader installed via playonlinux? On Firefox I can choose a default reader but I'm not able to see Acrobat Reader in my options. (I know I can download the pdf file and open it with the reader... but this is very annoying)

We can create the action which works in Windows and OSX, based on the thread answer How to add print link action of specific pages? The reason why only Windows and OSX is supported is that only the recent Adobe Acrobat Javascript API support PrintParams. However, Linux has many PDF viewers so I am thinking if to make such a support for Linux can be possible or if it exists there in any form. Basically, the LaTeX code uses mediabutton calls to the print(). OS: Debian 9 TeXLive: 2017 PDF viewer: Adobe acroread installed like here

Situation: to have Advanced search (like Adobe Acrobat's one) in any pdf reader; search many documents and have integrated view for their review I know the thread about installing Adobe reader by in the thread How to install Adobe Acrobat Reader in Debian? where I tried - its current accepted answer is about the installation of the old version (9.0) of Adobe reader here - terdon's answer about adding Linux Mint's reporisitory of acroread in Debian but the source does not work I know the answer in the thread How to Install Adobe Acrobat in Ubuntu 16.04? about adding a repository, but there is no command add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ precise partner" in Debian. I can recall that you can get Adobe Reader 10 and/or newer by this method. I would like to get at least the same in Debian. OS: Debian 8.5 64 bit Linux kernel: 4.6 Hardware: Asus Zenbook UX303UA Architecture: amd64

Unfortunately I need sometimes the Adobe pdf reader and can not use always one of the free alternatives . Now I recognized a new icon in the Mate taskbar Its tooltip says Adobe Tracker Alert and has two menu items * Open Tracker * Open Preferences The latter opens a preferences dialog from Adobe Acrobat 9.5.5 which was installed as binary via the official gentoo packages. But I could not find a way to disable this function and I have no idea what this tracker does. I do not want to have more features than necessary from a closed source program. **How can I remove / disable this tracker and what is it meant to do on my system?**

I'm not sure where my problem lies. I'm running Slackware Linux, Xorg 7.5, FVWM 2.6.1, Acrobat Reader 9.5.3 Every time my mouse goes into the Acroread window, the Acroread window auto-raises. I don't want it to do that. When I put another window on top of the Acroread window, I want it to stay visible and on top. I have Acroread*AutoRaise: false in my .Xdefaults file, but that does not seem to do it. How can I make Acroread not auto-raise on focus? ===== Edit: I have a longtime .fvwm2rc file that prevents windows from auto-raising. This line is commented out: #AutoRaise 750 The only other references to Raise are inside functions, and I'm not using those. Acroread is the only window (that I'm aware of off the top of my head) that auto-raises on focus.
