FC6 and acroread - not working

[Paul Johnson]

Install the newest Adobe RPM from the adobe website, which for me is
AdobeReader_enu-7.0.8-1

Then the attached patch fixes the problem you see in there.

/usr/local/Adobe/Acrobat7.0/bin

You know, in a terminal run "patch < acrobat.patch" in that directory.
