Bug #: 30437 Summary: Acrobat X print functions fail after aborted install (worked around) Product: Wine Version: 1.4 Platform: x86 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: major Priority: P2 Component: msi AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: gp1@sredmond.com Classification: Unclassified
Adobe Acrobat Reader X installer fails. It does install program components into a Program Files Adobe folder, and does not purge them after failure.
The Adobe Acrobat X executable can be run afterwards. However at least some critical features don't work in the program. Whether this is the fault of the installer's abort or whether it is due to other causes is no known.
One specific feature which does not work is the new scaling and tiling with cut marks in the Print dialog. While a user can select print scaling, he/she cannot actually enter the print percentage wanted or specify tile parameters because the entry fields are missing. The labels for these fields are present, but not the entry boxes.
The print scale and tile and cut marks printing features are major advances for Acrobat Reader, since it allows printing drawings, plans, maps, and posters that are larger than the available printer paper.
Because Acrobat X isn't offered in a Linux native version (unlike previous versions) Wine is the only alternative to access Acro X and these features.
However they are not present after the early terminated installation.
