Then for the most part you should be set although I have not extensively tested all available options.īelow is a screenshot of the Acrobat Reader running on my own 16.04 system:ĭuring the installation there are 2 extraneous files created which you can either ignore or delete: When the reader first loads select the option "Always open with Protected Mode Disabled" seen in the first screen. WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=~/.wine32 wine AdbeRdr11008_en_US.exe Now to download the required reader with the following single command: cd $HOME/Desktop & \Īnd finally install the downloaded Reader to the wine 32 bit prefix directory cd $HOME/Desktop & \ Then download a needed file with the following command, which you will note is using our new 32 bit wine prefix: WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=~/.wine32 winetricks mspatcha Use the following commands in a Terminal window to accomplish this: sudo apt-get remove winetricks You will need to install the most modern version of winetricks. With winecfg open make sure that it is set to 'Windows XP', this has been tested as giving the best performance with the Acrobat Reader. WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=~/.wine32 winecfg
First back up any default wine configuration and then create the prefix: mv ~/.wine ~/.wine_bak Once this rather hefty download is done you will need to set a 32 bit prefix for wine to use, necessary for the Adobe Acrobat to work properly. Run the following command in a Terminal window to install wine and a few extra applications: sudo apt-get install wine cabextract p7zip unrar unzip wget zenity It just takes a little bit of finesse :).
However if you are really keen it is still possible to install Adobe Reader X1 (version 11.0.08) under Ubuntu Xenial Xerus 16.04 using wine. There are many decent pdf readers available for a Linux system these days, my own personal favourite being Okular.
