Adobe Acrobat Reader (for Linux and WM5)

So I just downloaded and installed this on my laptop. For once, it’s fast enough and featured enough to replace all the ghostscript-based PDF viewers I have on there.

In the past, it has been a hard sucking piece of crap with Motif statically compiled into it (at least judging by the look and feel of the app) but now it appears almost exactly like the Windows and Mac OSX versions of Acrobat Reader. It’s even linked with GTK+ now, so it looks workable for once.

Also, it looks like the PocketPC version has been updated. This doesn’t work any better than the previous versions in the sense that it pixel doubles, but with the right MUI hack, the program is incredibly useful.

At any rate, just thought everyone should know.
