Lucky for you, someone I work with just ran into that problem the other day. The problem seems to be that Acrobat does not like the RH8.0 default of UTF-8 - it expects ISO8859-1. The way we got around that was to create this alias in .bashrc:
alias acroread='LANG=en_US.iso885915 /usr/bin/acroread' This will set the LANG environment variable ***for just this acroread command***. HTH. -- Hardy Merrill Senior Software Engineer Red Hat, Inc.
