Description Clark Torgerson 2004-05-08 07:41:19 UTC

Was just wondering if we could get the Adobe Acrobat ebuild updated to version 6. I've tried playing with the ebuild, but I don't think I'll be able to submit ebuilds just yet. :-D

At anyrate, I believe this version supports DRM protected ebooks. I hate that most ebooks have this enabled, but I also enjoy reading books at less than the printed retail price. Thanks for any help.

5.0.8 which is in portage is the most recent version of the acrobat reader
for linux according to http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html

I'm closing this as INVALID since the latest Linux version that Adobe has released is 5.0.8 [ As per http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html as Sven Wegener mentions ] for which the ebuild is in the Portage tree as app-text/acroread.

If you notice a new release at their end feel free to reopen this bug if you don't see if added... Thanks!
