See the "Individual users" > heading? Try that. Hello Frank, Thank you for trying to help. Your suggestion downloads AdobeReader_enu-7.0.5-1.i386.tar.gz, I think I want the 7.0.1-1 version. I finally ended up with everything I could find, put it in distfiles, also in distfiles/acroread and as far as I can tell, I cannot get past the message "this is an interactive port" error1 - not exactly the message but it gives you the idea. I then blew everything off and started over, same thing. I think there is a document that I need to agree to that is just not there, I know it used to be for older versions. I've decided, in the interest of getting on with other things like xpdf, kpf, gpdf, ghostview will do what I want. therefore, except for the port acroread7, everything acroread is deinstalled. At some time later I'll try it again. Thank you again. Don
