Acrobat Reader 7 for Linux
Adam Langley noticed
that Adobe Reader 7 is now available for Linux. The update from version 5 has
been long overdue. The new version uses GDK rather than Motif. It has some
new features such as Save As Text, and will hopefully eliminate those annoying
warnings about a PDF requiring a newer version of Acrobat Reader (though they
always seem to be perfectly readable). Multiple PDFs are now opened within a
single application window.
Here are some Debian packages I built based on Christian Marillat's packages. I'm sure he'll do a better job soon.
Update: Christian Marillat has added acroread packages to his testing and unstable repositories. You probably want to use those.
