Adobe Reader 7,8
anyone know where I can get a copy of Adobe Reader 7 or 8 for Linux
from a reliable place that does not have backdoors or viruses, etc. ? Adobe's site only has 9.5(5?) for Linux It was called Adobe Acrobat Reader then do you know if Acrobat will open a secure PDF file? I bought the CIECAM02 document from CIE, they have a FileOpen application but I need Reader 7,8 for the plugin http://www.techstreet.com/cie/products/1210075 http://www.cie.co.at/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CIECAM02 their customer service will not open it for me, and have stopped replying to me, I will try to continue with them but just thought I would ask -- Dale |

Newer versions read older formats, so the newer version should work. Perhaps your problem is different from what you think. Also, the website you gave suggests that the PDF file can be downloaded. If true, you do not need a plug-in; that is just making things unnecessarily difficult. Yes, Abobe Acrobat will read a secure PDF. However, depending on what was made secure (reading, or only copying) you may need a password. However, as you paid money for this PDF, if you need a password to read it then it will be supplied. Finally, I still run Adobe Reader 5.0 on one system, but it is Windows. I could print the PDF for you and mail you the 22 pages. Alternatively, you could use one of the many free on-line conversion services. Some online services will even remove the security that prevents copying (eg, http://freemypdf.com/). -- Regards, Martin Leese E-mail: LID Web: http://members.tripod.com/martin_leese/ |

Thanks Martin, I have tried the Reader for Linux available on Adobe's website, version 9.5.5, it doesn't unlock the file, it says it needs a plugin, I have the plugin from the CIE site, but it needs Reader version 7,8, I don't know a reliable place for this I tried the freemypdf website you suggested but it says I need a plugin my sister has Windows so I am going to try that route, but I might take you up on your offer to open it, Thanks a lot -- Dale |

Hi,
I was going to offer an older version from my own private collection, but you should really use Google better... http://www.oldapps.com/adobe_reader.php |
