Adobe 7.0 Reader in Puppy
Hello Everyone,
In my experiments, I found that if you have the right copy of Mandriva 05, which includes Adobe Reader 7.0 with the dotpup "undeb/unrpm" the file can be converted easily and copied into Puppy and seems to work fine.
It's over 20mb's in size.

Legacy OS 2017 has been released.

you can go directly to adobe's site and download the package with tar.gz extension. it can be installed easily and works fine except for an error message at the start up. Do you have that also?john biles wrote:Hello Everyone,

I think MU was talking about the very same error while he was talking about the adobe reader in MUPPY.
anything new with this, useless yet distracting error message

Get rid of the faulty plug-in error by renaming /usr/local/Adobe/Acrobat7.0/Reader/intellinux/plug_ins/PPKLite.api to PPKLite.api.alttahaselim wrote:you can go directly to adobe's site and download the package with tar.gz extension. it can be installed easily and works fine except for an error message at the start up.

Hope that helps.

Thanks WhoDo that solved the problem right away.WhoDo wrote: Get rid of the faulty plug-in error by renaming /usr/local/Adobe/Acrobat7.0/Reader/intellinux/plug_ins/PPKLite.api to PPKLite.api.alt

I wonder for what purpose one would write an api that only gives an error and you don't lose anything when it is discarded?
anyway, what would happen if I just delete it? i will try that today.

fobq,
I installed a deb file from here that seemed to work ok.

This was Precise 5.4.3. Adobe is a big resource hog.
Cheers,
