Adobe Acrobat 5 Forum

I was able to install Acrobat under REdhat 9 but couldn't find it in the Windows Programs. I did find the Acrobat.exe file in the directory but could not run it because Linux was looking for a program to open it with and I couldn't invoke Crossover to run Acrobat. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

In the "menu" section you can choose to "recreate menu item" for most installed apps.

Otherwise, you can invoke wine and pass the location of the .exe file to wine as a command line argument. This would look something like: /opt/cxoffice/bin/wine --check --cx-app C:////Program\ Files////Windows\ Media\ Player////mplayer2.exe You will notice that I used an example for launching Windows Media Player and that I used the Windows path starting at "C:" which really starts at your "fake windows" directory in the ".cxoffice/dotwine" hidden directory. Notice that a Windows slash is shown as "////" and that files and/or directories with spaces use the "\" as an escape charachter. You may have not installed CX Office in the "/opt" directory. If not, it's probably in your home directory. Once you get this working, simply create a desktop launcher containing the same command line.
