Linux / Ubuntu / Mint > Hendri's Programing Notes

The document you are trying to load requires Adobe Reader 8 or higher.

(1/1)

admin:
Install a working Adobe 9.5.5 to Mint 20.3
Note that it does add over 100MB of additional files to make it work.. (how cares?)

First make sure that your system is up to date by entering in a terminal..

--- Code: ---sudo apt update
--- End code ---

Next add i386 packages to Mint. Adobe needs some of these packages to work.

--- Code: ---sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
--- End code ---

Next add software dependencies that Adobe requires. (Takes a while to upload)

--- Code: ---sudo apt install libxml2:i386 libcanberra-gtk-module:i386 gtk2-engines-murrine:i386 libatk-adaptor:i386
--- End code ---

Next get the binary package for Adobe 9.5.5 (Takes even longer than software packages to download)

--- Code: ---wget -O ~/adobe.deb ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/unix/9.x/9.5.5/enu/AdbeRdr9.5.5-1_i386linux_enu.deb
--- End code ---

Close the terminal and run the *.deb file.
