Patch to work around acroread bug

Comment 1 Jonathan Kamens 2005-08-22 11:02:39 EDT

In Acrobat Reader 7 on Linux, acroread -toPostScript doesn't work from a 
pipe.  This is discussed at length in the user-to-user forums at 
www.adobe.com; just go to them and search for "toPostScript" to see what I 
mean.  This means that a workaround is required to print using acroread.  I 
believe this workaround is compatible with older versions of acroread as 
well.  See attached patch.

[Mass switching of bugs filed against FC4T3 to fc4test3 from test3]

Comment 3 Maros Barabas 2007-01-18 09:41:52 EST

Is this bug still actual in fc6 ?

Comment 4 Matthew Miller 2007-04-06 11:08:45 EDT

Fedora Core 3 and Fedora Core 4 are no longer supported. If you could retest
this issue on a current release or on the latest development / test version, we
would appreciate that. Otherwise, this bug will be marked as CANTFIX one month
from now. Thanks for your help and for your patience.
