Adobe Acrobat 5 Forum

I also just installed Acrobat on my Gentoo system with version 4.0 of Crossover Office Standard. It installed fine and works great for opening PDFs and browsing PDFs (I've got Mozilla Firefox hooked up to launch Acrobat 5.0 when I hit a PDF on the web--no problems).

As mentioned, the "save as" doesn't work and, in fact, causes Acrobat to crash on my system. I haven't tried the workarounds yet but will give that a shot.

Thanks

CrossOver 4.1 didn't fix the problem. Acrobat 5.0 still crashes during "save as..."

I am assuming that it doesn't help to reinstall Acrobat with each version of CX Office. Does "save as..." work for anyone?

On Xandros dl3, and Crossover as distributed with it:
Distiller seems to do everything as required except that you can't drag files into the window, which means that you can't deal with a batch of files at once.
This is just annoying, but Acrobat hits a much more serious problem: you can't insert pages - this produces an error message about permission for the inserted file, which no actual change of permissions seems able to affect. This strange problem limits what can be done with batch processing, and also blocks off an obvious simple way round the save-as problem. Oddly, replacing pages works, but using this as a work-around is laborious, to put it mildly. Deleting pages also works.

For any of you still using Acrobat 5 Pro (like me) as at 2007-10-23, CXO version 6.2.0 installs Acrobat 5 Pro, and runs and saves files well enough.

Acrobat 5 Pro saves if you make a change to the document (add, delete, replace). ie: saving replaces the original.

Acrobat 5 Pro will not "save as" under any circumstances.

Therefore if you want to "save as", you have to think ahead and copy the PDF doco before you start making changes to the copy, and then you can save changes to the copy using "save".
