I think it's because the name of the command is now changed. No longer
"acroread" but "AdobeReader." Note: that's case-sensitive.
"Acrobat" is now reserved for the PDF /editor/.
And by the way: the latest version is more than a year old.
Where can we find a side-by-side feature table for Adobe Reader v.
Okular, or whatever the favored PDF viewer is for Gnome?

Hi,
If the rpm being installed is the one supplied by Adobe, the
command provided is "acroread". On my system the rpm installed its files
into /opt/Adobe, check that the acroread file is executable and that you
have read/write access to all files/folders within that path. I had an
issue with acroread, whereby when I ran it, it produced a dialog
complaining of a file read error and wouldn't run, I also received the
same error when I clicked on widgets to add them to my development
project in Windowbuilder within Eclipse. This error turned out to be a
corrupt profile in ~/.adobe/Acrobat which, when I deleted that
directory, and acrobat recreated it resolved my problems.
regards,
Steve
