On the Adobe website, there are two packages for Acrobat Reader 7 that can be retrieved, one is a .tar.gz, and the other is a .rpm. RPM files are normally for RedHat, and the other is probably a general linux file. >From your list of required files, I notice you list a requirement of rpm-3.0.6 9. Does this mean I should download the RPM version? Is there a reason for one instead of the other? When the package is downloaded, do I just use the command pkg_add -r acroread (that is, after I expand the file if necessary)? Or do I need to do a make install clean in the directory created by the expansion? I have been seeing PDF files created in versions of Acrobat later than 5, and they won't open in AcroRead5. Thanks for your help. Harold --
