Nice package, but please check the forums before posting!
There is already another acroread 7 thread around:

LOL! Oscar - maybe you should have checked to see who posted the first PKGBUILD

replaces=('acroread=<5.0.10') ?
what's wrong simply updating the existing acroread?

Actually "replaces" is ok. What should be changed is the package name. There is no more Acrobat Reader. Now it's called Adobe Reader.
http://www.planetpdf.com/enterprise/art … id=6069&ra
Adobe Reader - In a case of wag the dog, the product which was formerly known as the Adobe Acrobat Reader, now has the official title of Adobe Reader. Time will tell as to whether this is an effective name change, or another educational & training nightmare. This newly named product also includes full support for Adobe eBooks without the need for a separate viewer.

Tell Adobe that:
~ --:ls /opt/adobe/acrobat/bin/
acroread
(I downloaded the latest version and installed myself, not a pkgbuild)

this is a good reason to switch completely to kpdf and déjàvu for me! renaming a product to include the company name causes my carma to reconsider some of my dogmas and stop using it :twisted:
thanx for the info about this "nightmare"

Isn't acrobat reader the only one that properly displays weird fonts and stuff? Not that I know anything about it, just what I've heard. Wouldn't mind knowing because I use PDFs a lot researching and the like.

Sometimes this is true. But the competition (like evince) is getting closer and closer with every new version released.

while i was able to crash kpdf with any unusually made pdf, since kde 3.4.0 it works on everything i run across (even bangla chars in UTF-8)

nuopus: Your PKGBUILD doesn't have dependencies. Try running namcap on the PKGBUILD and the package

FYI, Adobe admitted that these version is accidentally marked as final. I got
that from aGerman news page. The actual final is scheduled for May 2005.
This has been a pre-release to fullfill needs of a dutch conratc partner who
needed it.

Businesses in The Netherlands have to do their tax statements electronicly through the Internet. De Belastingdienst (Tax Office) made an application where you need Acroread 7 for. Every business has to do this before April, 1st IIRC. So to be platform independent, Adobe had to release a working version of it before that date.
I think that's the story on releasing this early.

What makes acroread any better or worse then, say, xpdf?
Reading PDF forms, also DRM protected documents, and rendering "strange" fonts. The new kpdf is great, but still it can't open DRM protected pdf docs.
By the way, when I click a really large ( >100 MB) pdf document within Konqueror, Adobe Reader 7 aborts with a message that it can't find the document (kpdf, xpdf and kghostview work fine). But if I open the Reader and point the document, it opens without any problems. Dunno if it's a reader or KIO issue.

It just renders them so much better too, the fonts look much better and it seems to render them quicker too.

When it is coming to [current]?

Presumably when it is officially released in May. This isn't 0.7 final.
I am a gated community.

By the way, did anyone took notice of that or any similar claim? If it applies then it's certainly not nice...
