Frank McCormick" To: Subject: Acrobat Reader package fails Date: Fri, 27 Oct 2000 09:48:39 -0700 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Priority: 3 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 5.00.2615.200 X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V5.00.2615.200 Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG From the FreeBSD 4.1 CD-ROM, I installed from the packages collection. When invoked from an xterm command line, Acrobat Reader appears to come up normally. I can open the Reader's on-line user's manual, , which also appears to display normally -- almost. Hypertext links on each page are displayed as scrambled text. Most, though not all, attempts to click on these links crash the application, which then reports an error-code exit of 0x400e0009. As an experiment, I fetched the Linux version of Acrobat Reader from the Adobe web site, and installed it according to the directions. The results were identical. Other Linux applications, including Sun's StarOffice 5.2, run properly on my system. I am running the 3.3.6 X server that came with the 4.1 CD on a Matrox G400 card and a Nokia 21-inch monitor at 1280x1024. I have tried running under two window managers, KDE and WindowMaker, with the same results. If anyone else has seen these symptoms and has a solution, I'd be grateful.
