Adobe Reader don't start. Linux. Computer 64 bits

I have installed the adobe acrobat reader in my computer (HP - Ubuntu 7.04 - Feisty Fawn - 64 bits), but it doesn't start.
When I try to start it from terminal emulator:
rober@rober-laptop:~$ acroread
/usr/local/Adobe/Acrobat7.0/Reader/intellinux/bin/acroread: error while loading shared libraries: libgdk_pixbuf_xlib-2.0.so.0: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64
I search for the libgdk_pix.... but it is not available for 64 bits.
Is it possible to use acroread in 64 bits linux system?
Can anyone say me which is the way to resolve this problem?

History notice: Problem still reproducing with Adobe Reader 9.5.4 on Ubuntu 13.04 (April 2013).
Solution: The fix is to simply add the 32 bit version of the missing library. To be sure that you get them all consisstently, just:
sudo apt-get install ia32-libs
Note: Solution seen on this article from the judsonsnotes.com website.

Adobe Reader won't start automatically

I've downloaded Adobe Reader to my Windows8 system,, but when I try to open a pdf file fom on-line it asks me which App I want to use, but Reader isn't listed as a choice. When I clik look for other Apps on computer, I can't find Reader anywhere (not in programs, documents, etc). It will not start automatically. The only way I can't make it work is by Saving the pdf file, then going to my graphic start page and cliking the Adobe reader icon which has been there (and only there) since it was downloaded. It's really time consuming and I have a lot of psf files I have to go back and delte from my downloads

the App version self-loaded and it worked initially whenever I tried to open a pdf file, but this is a new touchscreen Acer and I'm used to having actual programs, not Apps and I don't quite understand it yet...Of course like everything else with Windows 8, most thing don't work the way they used to after you do any updates. I'd love to go back to Windows 7, or even XP. I got this for Christmas and so far (according to it's own software program), it's shut down a total of 418 times, the majority of causes had to do with Explorer.

How would I recognize this attempt and how can I prevent it? I also have Norton protection loaded on my computer (via Comcast). I am not sure if Norton can protect me if I select run. Do you have any suggestions?

Hi peterc,
By default, Reader updates occur automatically via the Reader app itself, and this is the most secure way to receive updates. While you can choose to update manually (by choosing Help > Check for Updates), you may not always get critical updates as they're released. See Automatic updates | Acrobat, Reader. If you receive an email about needing to update Reader, you should ignore it, as that is where the malicious updates can come from. Just make sure you're letting the updates happen from within Reader, either automatically or manually.
Best,

Windows 8, set default application for example adobe reader, customize the start screen

I have two questions, Im going to deploy Windows 8 to our company, but have 2 big issues.
1) I need to customize the start screen, but cant find anywhere in the gpo´s? How can I do this without sysprepping etc (deploying with SCCM2012 SP1)
2) I need to set the default programs for adobe reader, mspaint etc, how can I do this? It doesnt work with the GPP and folder options, anyone have done this?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
Thanks for posting your question in the forum. First of all, if you want to deploy customized Windows 8 Start Screen for domain users, I suggest we could refer to the following similar threads
and article.
Group Policy for Windows 8 Start
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-us/winserver8gen/thread/13a13c25-a1b2-4665-ab67-a2f9bc3b9bba
GPO Management for Windows 8 Start Screen?

Windows 8 Start Screen Customization with MDT
http://blogs.technet.com/b/deploymentguys/archive/2012/10/26/start-screen-customization-with-mdt.aspx
Regarding the second question, since you want to set the default programs via Group Policy but it didn’t work. Would you please let me know how did you configure the setting? Please refer to
the following steps to configure the GPO setting.
To create a new Open With preference item
Open the
Group Policy Management Console. Right-click the Group Policy object (GPO) that should contain the new preference item, and then click
Edit.
In the console tree under
User Configuration, expand the Preferences folder, and then expand the
Control Panel Settings folder.
Right-click the
Folder Options node, point to New, and select
Open With.
In the
New Open With Properties dialog box, select an Action for Group Policy to perform.
Enter Open With settings for Group Policy to configure or remove.
Click the
Common tab, configure any options, and then type your comments in the
Description box.
Click
OK. The new preference item appears in the details pane.
For details, please refer to the following article.
Configure an Open With Item
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc732272.aspx
In addition, I suggest we could collect the following information to narrow down the cause of the issue.
GPMC.log
==================
a. On domain controller, click Start ->Run, type GPMC.MSC, it will load the GPMC console.
b. Right click on "Group Policy Result" and choose wizard to generate a report for the problematic computer and user account (please place appropriately). (Choose computer and select
the proper user in the wizard)
c. Right click
the resulting group policy result and click the "Save Report…" => save report to save the report to a HTML file.
Hope this helps.

Adobe Reader 8.1.2 (linux) hang at startup

We have a number of users who have reported hangs when trying to start Adobe Reader on our CentOS 4.5 linux workstations (CentOS 4.5 is a RedHat Enterprise Linux 4.5 rebuild). When this occurs, the X-server is locked for a minimum of 10 seconds, sometimes longer, until the Reader window finally comes up.
I was able to duplicate this behavior on my desktop workstation; of course, once I tried to run the program through strace I no longer saw this behavior.
Have any other users here seen this behavior? Any idea what is causing it, or is there a workaround to mitigate the problem?
John Perkins

I was finally able to get an strace of a delayed acroread startup with the Xming xserver (displaying on Windows). I can't use XManager or Exceed (or similar products) when trying to display on a linux desktop.
The strace output I've collected suggests Adobe Reader is trying to
stat() all the font files available at startup time. We run with an AFS filesystem here, and some fonts are in AFS...so those fonts get cached on local disk when Adobe Reader first runs, and stat()'ing the font files goes much faster the next time around.
It may be necessary for us to move these font files to the local disk at some point to improve performance with Adobe Reader, and maybe with other apps.
Some detail as to how fonts are found could be helpful...does Reader try to generate a list of paths from the X-server somehow? Or does it find font paths some other way?
John

My SD-card reader don´t takes SDHC Computer Pavilion zd8180ea Win-7

I tryed to uninstall the reader and start the computer with the card. No result
What can i do is the computer to old?

Your zd8180ea appears to be from 2004 or 2005, which is before the widespread introduction and use of SDHC compatible card readers. It is very likely that the computer is too old to use with SDHC cards.

Adobe reader will not start. I can not work on my taxes.

I've tried uninstalling, uninstalling with the Adobe clean uninstall tool, repairing windows, repairing Adobe reader, and TDSSKiller, and nothing works. Every time I try to start the reader it comes up with the message: "acrobat failed to load its core DLL". I'm running windows 7, and have tried to restore the OS to a previous version, but the corrupt file always comes up as not being able to be repaired. Also get message from Reader_sl.exe that the Application was unable to start correctly 0xc0000006.

Sort of. I can not update windows or adobe without risk of losing everything again. MS and Adobe should work together better if the IRS is going to require everybody to use Adobe. The computer guy changed a lot of settings on my computer in order to get Adobe 10 to work, and now my mail program and Internet explorer programs keep locking up. Adobe customer support is non-existant; i.e. sucks. This is Adobe/MS problem is forcing me to buy a new computer, probably just how they planned it.

Adobe Reader X process starts but application does not open

I have Adobe Reader X installed on a Windows 7 64bit OS. Most of the time (95%) when I try to open pdf files that I've saved locally or on the web the process (AcroRd32.exe) will start, but the application and the file do not actually open.
Sometimes I can shutdown the computer and restart and I'm then able to open pdf files.
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the application, but the status does not change. I still continue to have problems opening pdf files.
I have searched, but cannot find this issue in the discussion board...most users get some type of error. I checked the event logs on Windows and there are no errors.

Hi Antonyd22,
I've found the same issue using Acro Reader 9 on Windows XP.
Sometimes, when I try to open some PDF documents which are locally saved on my computer, the process AcroRd32.exe (and AcroRd32Info.exe) starts immideately, but the window is not shown for a long time (more than some minutes); trying to start Adobe Acrobat Reader from start menu, the window is shown immideately but it becames "not responding".
It seems that this behaviour is related to some recent file that it is not more accessible (perhaps because it was located on an unavailable network path).
To solve this issue, try to reduce the number of recent files (Edit -> Preferences -> Document -> set "Document in recently used list" to 1) and to open a PDF file that it is available locally (in order to set the last used file); then close and restart Adobe Acrobat.
In my opionion it is a bug that it is still present with Adobe Acrobat Reader 9.4.7.

Adobe Reader 9.3 for Linux: Segmentation Fault in PPKLite.api

Adobe Reader 9.3 cannot open signed pdf files on our system (64-bit Fedora 10 Linux, with 32-bit compatibility libraries installed). It crashes with a segmentation fault any time one tries to open the following file:
http://www.utoronto.ca/ic/software/forms/matlab_concurrent_renewal2010.pdf
Running with ACRODEBUG=1 and ACRO_CRASHLOG=1 results in a zero-length crash log file and the only debug messages shown are
Loading PlugIn /opt/Adobe/Reader9/Reader/intellinux/plug_ins/Annots.api ... [dlopen success for Annots.api, handle = 0xc4548f8]
Loading PlugIn /opt/Adobe/Reader9/Reader/intellinux/plug_ins/AcroForm.api ... [dlopen success for AcroForm.api, handle = 0xd0c3a50]
Loading PlugIn /opt/Adobe/Reader9/Reader/intellinux/plug_ins/DigSig.api ... [dlopen success for DigSig.api, handle = 0xd0dcc68]

Loading PlugIn /opt/Adobe/Reader9/Reader/intellinux/plug_ins/PPKLite.api ... [dlopen success for PPKLite.api, handle = 0xd7b1ff0]
If I run the gdb debugger on /opt/Adobe/Reader9/Reader/intellinux/bin/acroread, it shows the segmentation fault occurring inside /opt/Adobe/Reader9/Reader/intellinux/plug_ins/PPKLite.api (but since the file is stripped, all it shows is the binary offset of the segfault). I do have a coredump, though.
If I remove the PPKLite.api file (or rename it to PPKLite.api.hide -- note that chmod -x does not work, nor does renaming it to something else that still ends in .api, unlike some workarounds I've seen on the web for similar problems in earlier versions of Adobe Reader), then Adobe Reader can open the file without crashing, except that without PPKLite it cannot validate its signature and so it displays the message "This document enabled extended features in Adobe Reader. The document has been changed since it was created and use of extended features is no longer available. Please contact the author for the original version of this document" -- which I assume is because the signature validation failed due to the absence of PPKLite so it things the document has been altered even though it hasn't been.
So this removing or renaming of PPKLite.api works around the problem of the crash, at the expense of getting this misleading warning message.
However, obviously there is a problem inside PPKLite.api that needs to be fixed....

I'm seeing what must be the same issue: acroread foo.pdf exits almost instantly without any message, but with status 1.
This is: AdobeReader_enu-9.3.1-1.i486 on a Fedora 12 box, AMD Phenom II 945.
If I set ACRODEBUG=1 and ACRO_CRASHLOG=1 and ulimit -c unlimited, and rename PPKLite.api, *then* I get a nonzero crashlog. Which is:

Quicktime Applets and Adobe Reader don't work in Safari

If I am on a website that requires Quicktime, Adobe Reader or an applet, nothing works. With Quicktime the only thing that appears is the scroll bar with sound but no movie, with Adobe Reader or an applet the only thing that comes up is the logo. I have re-installed the plug-ins but still nothing. I have 3 Mac Pros in my small office and one at home and it is the same on all computers. I have to use Firefox which works great. I am running Leopard 10.5.3.
Any suggestions?

I tried Lynda.com and it has a script that causes Flash 9 to run slowly, so I aborted that. Apple.com doesn't play trailers for me, either; it doesn't even show any link is active on the trailers, so that could be a coding issue specific to Safari, as Camino and Firefox don't pose any problem.
Safari has the ability to view PDFs without any plug-ins. You can disable the Acrobat Reader plug-in either by removing it from ~/Library/InternetPlug-Ins, or launching Acrobat Reader, go to Preferences>Internet and uncheck the box labeled "Display PDF in browser using…"; then quit Acrobat Reader and Safari, relaunch and try again.
