[SOLVED] Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "adwaita"

Hi,
First off, I need to open a pdf that doesn't work with Okular (report: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=416081) hence I wanted to try to open it in acroread but I have the following issue:
I installed acroread from the AUR but when launching it, I get this error:

$ acroread

(acroread:146769): Gtk-WARNING **: 04:50:52.682: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "adwaita",

even though, it does seem to be installed:

[ron@DesktopRon acroread]$ sudo pacman -Ss adwaita
extra/adwaita-icon-theme 3.34.3-1 [installed]
    GNOME standard icons

How do I get around this and tell acroread where to look for adwaita?

1. This isn't a pacman issue.
2. That's a warning, not an error. You can ignore it.
3. acroread is dead for almost a decade now? Don't use it.
4. Why are you using sudo to search?

Mod note: moving to NC.

That isn't a fatal error, is that all that's printed?

1. True
2. That's all that would happen, noting else would start
3. Although It says Last Updated: 2019-08-01 06:52 - not going to use it, I escaped and fired up my Windows VM instead
4. Hm, I don't actually know, I should not use it if not required - Thanks!

Yes, nothing else nor would I see a Window being launched or anything but it's fine, I don't need it anymore, I fired up Adobe reader on my Win VM instead.
Thanks
