Acrobat Reader 5.07 for Linux

Last modified on July 24, 2026 • 1 min read • 86 words There is an rpm for Acrobat Reader 5.07 for Linux from Gurulabs  . It anyway didn’t work on my machine, so I had to stick to the old reader (version 4.05 that is). But today I found a fix on the web:OK, this is the error message:$ /usr/local/Acrobat5/bin/acroread$ Warning: charset "UTF-8" not supported, using "ISO8859-1".$ AbortedBut editing the acroread file (/usr/local/Acrobat5/bin/acroread) really works. After the line:install_dir=/usr/local/Acrobat5/Readerjust insert these two lines:LANG=Cexport LANGBTW you need to have root accession rights to be able to modify the acroread file.
