How to install Adobe Acrobat Reader 9 on Fedora 42
Adapted from these instructions for Fedora 36: https://old.reddit.com/r/Fedora/comments/wgmb3q/how_to_install_adobe_reader_in_fedora_36/
Basically, we need to install a few other old dependencies from the Fedora archive, and then the actual software. The Adobe FTP server is dead unfortunately, so I've uploaded a copy of the software to my website here: http://www.nick99nack.com/pub/Adobe/Acrobat/Reader/AdbeRdr9.5.5-1_i486linux_enu.rpm
Here's what you need to install:
| Code: | dnf install https://archives.fedoraproject.org/pub/archive/fedora/linux/releases/31/Everything/x86_64/os/Packages/p/pangox-compat-0.0.2-15.fc31.i686.rpm
dnf install atk.i686 gdk-pixbuf2.i686 gdk-pixbuf2-xlib.i686 mesa-libGL.i686 mesa-libGLU.i686 gtk2.i686 libXt.i686
dnf install https://archives.fedoraproject.org/pub/archive/fedora/linux/releases/28/Everything/x86_64/os/Packages/l/libidn-1.34-1.fc28.i686.rpm
wget https://www.nick99nack.com/pub/Adobe/Acrobat/Reader/AdbeRdr9.5.5-1_i486linux_enu.rpm
rpm -ivh AdbeRdr9.5.5-1_i486linux_enu.rpm
|
After that, Acrobat Reader should just work!
