I was going to suggest going to adobe.com and search. But when I pushed the button, it knew exactly what OS I wanted!

Hello,

If you specifically want an Adobe's version of
PDF reader, than Dennis already gave you a good answer.

On the other hand, if you want to use a
portable Unix version, xpdf is a good
option:

Hi
i am installed the xpdf (xpdf-3.02-hppa-11.11.depot) Successfully without any error
But did not work, after execute the xpdf command appeared to me this message
# xpdf file.pdf
/usr/bin/ksh: xpdf: cannot execute
how to solve this problem?
thanks

[Dennis Handly]

# xpdf file.pdf
/usr/bin/ksh: xpdf: cannot execute
>how to solve this problem?

What does "whence xpdf" show? Is it executable?
Have you tried the absolute path?
What does file(1) show for your executable?

[Mousa55]

Hi
by absolute path and another the same problem
i am installed xpdf on /usr/bin
and the man page of it opining without any problem.
why cannot execute ?

thanks

>by absolute path and another the same problem

Again, what does "file /usr/bin/xpdf" and "ll /usr/bin/xpdf" show?

[Mousa55]

Hi
# ll /usr/bin/xpdf
total 0
drwxr-xr-x 2 root sys 96 Feb 4 13:45 pfiles
drwxr-xr-x 2 root sys 96 Feb 4 13:45 xpdf-MAN

thanks

[Dennis Handly]

# ll /usr/bin/xpdf
drwxr-xr-x 2 root sys 96 Feb 4 13:45 pfiles
drwxr-xr-x 2 root sys 96 Feb 4 13:45 xpdf-MAN

It appears you moved a SD directory depot? into /usr/bin/. You need to move it somewhere else and find the real xpdf executable.

How did you install it?
$ gunzip xpdf-3.02-ia64-11.31.depot.gz
# swinstall -s $PWD/xpdf-3.02-ia64-11.31.depot \*

Of course you must install the 11 runtime dependencies.

Shalom,

First run on some pdf users shows a license agreement, certainly for the adobe one. Your first run needs to be in a proper X windows session.


There is 5.0.8 for PA-RISC HP-UX floating around out there, if not on the Adobe web site itself.

Like Dennis said, there is something wrong here:

# ll /usr/bin/xpdf
total 0
drwxr-xr-x 2 root sys 96 Feb 4 13:45 pfiles
drwxr-xr-x 2 root sys 96 Feb 4 13:45 xpdf-MAN

I guess you did not swinstall the depot, but maybe untar the depot file?

The depot contains these files in /usr/local/bin

pdffonts
pdfimages
pdfinfo
pdftoppm
pdftops
pdftotext
xpdf


You need to install all the Run-time dependencies too:

expat fontconfig freetype gettext lesstif libXft libXrender libiconv t1lib xpm zlib

[Mousa55]

Hi
The problem is still, and i am installed all Run-time dependencies of the xpdf.
but there some dependencies did not installed correctlly you can see logs for this dependencies.

thanks

[Dennis Handly]

>but there some dependencies did not installed correctly you can see logs for this dependencies.

You have a Boss Tweed ring. :-)
You have circular dependencies. When this occurs, you must copy all of the depots into one big one, then you can install them all at once.
lesstif > zlib
t1lib > zlib
libXft <> zlib
xpdf > t1lib

See the following link about how to use swcopy(1) to combine depots:
