Hey people, why do you still use this? This latest native Linux version is 9.5.5 and was released on 26/04/2013. Therefore it's highly insecure.
I suggest everyone to either use a Linux-native alternative, or install the current Adobe Reader DC in WINE.
Still crashing ... With ACRO_CRASHLOG=1 =>
/usr/bin/acroread [0x850ab41] [@0x8048000]
linux-gate.so.1(__kernel_sigreturn+0x0) [0xf7f36560] [@0xf7f36000]

@jakub The GdkPixbuf messages are not about your problem ; I have them too but my acroread is working fine. I just tested it on a fresh Arch install and it is working fine.
Did you try to launch : ACRO_CRASHLOG=1 acroread
And look if a crashlog is created in /tmp/acroCrashLogs/
It's crashing. Console is full of those errors:
(acroread:11707): GdkPixbuf-CRITICAL **: gdk_pixbuf_get_height: assertion 'GDK_IS_PIXBUF (pixbuf)' failed
Manually copying the following libraries to /opt/Adobe/Reader9/Reader/intellinux/lib/ (included in LD_LIBRARY_PATH by the launch script) has got it running stably for me (opening and viewing documents, filling forms, preferences dialog, etc.):
lib32-freetype2-2.10.1-1
lib32-gcc-libs-9.3.0-1
lib32-libpulse-14.2-2
lib32-libx11-1.7.0-1
Without lib32-freetype2-2.10.1-1, I get the failure mentioned by @android and @mschu below, and without the others it crashes on my system after about 10 seconds. Downgrading lib32-freetype2 was not a viable solution for me because it broke other software.
I'm getting the same failure as mschu: /opt/Adobe/Reader9/Reader/intellinux/bin/acroread: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib32/libfreetype.so.6: undefined symbol: hb_ot_tags_from_script_and_language
I also have the latest: lib32-freetype2 2.11.0-3
This library does contain this symbol: $ nm -gD /usr/lib32/libfreetype.so.6 | grep hb_ot_tags U hb_ot_tags_from_script_and_language
It seems the bundled harfbuzz, as noted in pinned comment, is now inadequate: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/acroread/#pinned-660358
This is also noted in the bug report, as it affects steam and Mathematica: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/71680
I'm getting this with a fully up-to-date system: /opt/Adobe/Reader9/Reader/intellinux/bin/acroread: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib32/libfreetype.so.6: undefined symbol: hb_ot_tags_from_script_and_language
Upgrading lib32-libpulse from 14.2-2 to 15.0-1 makes acroread crash again. I've downgraded lib32-libpulse to 14.2-2, and acroread works fine.
Hi, didn't you consider using AppImage for packaging acroreader? It seems like this format was built exactly for the purpose of packaging old unsupported software. You can just seal a working combination of libraries and should just work without ever need to tweak or update.
Upgrading lib32-libx11 from 1.7.0-1 to 1.7.1-1 makes acroread crash again. I've downgraded lib32-libx11 to 1.7.0-1, and acroread works fine.

Aborting...
There's still another crashing issue. If we open the printing dialog and open properties in it TWICE (open - close - reopen), acroread will crash.
[SOLVED] 2020-08-06
Downgrading lib32-libcups to 2.2.10-1 solved this issue.
@ujihisa @Geballin If we revert lib32-gcc-libs to 9.3.0-1, opening preferences crash seems to be avoided.
Segfault in Spelling.api. Removing disables spellchecking but otherwise seems to affect no other features.
It crashes with: Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "appmenu-gtk-module"
@Tetrapyle facepalm no I didn't... I'm so utterly exhausted at the moment and not thinking straight.
I got the same segmentation fault you did
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

@j0hannes that looks like you have not enabled the multilib repository
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Official_repositories#multilib
The package won't build because of its dependencies:

@Thorned_Rose did you type run? See Geballin's comment and mine below. I then got a segmentation fault from libtdb. Do you have?
My most recent installation of this is not running at all (when I've installed it previously, it's run fine).
GDB comes up with:
[...]
Reading symbols from /opt/Adobe/Reader9/Reader/intellinux/bin/acroread...
(No debugging symbols found in /opt/Adobe/Reader9/Reader/intellinux/bin/acroread)
and then sits there doing nothing more.
Please add libffi6 from AUR to the dependencies
Thanks Geballin Actually I had to edit /opt/Adobe/Reader9/bin/acroread because /usr/bin/acroread is a soft link to the former and this path seems to be parsed in the script.
$ cd /opt/Adobe/Reader9/bin/

@Tetrapyle /usr/bin/acroread is a shell script doing a lot of shitty things like setting lib path... so you can't just launch /opt/Adobe/Reader9/Reader/intellinux/bin/acroread , that's normal it didn't found the libraries. You should edit line 22 of /usr/bin/acroread and change it to : exec gdb ${1+"$@"} After that, just launch acroread (or create /usr/bin/acroread_dbg from /usr/bin/acroread with line 22 changed)
Sooo.. thank you Geballin you made me install gdb and learn how to launch it. There's no other log.
/usr/bin/acroread is a script. On Gnu-Archlinux it should launch /opt/Adobe/Reader9/Reader/intellinux/bin/acroread .

What is this libBIB ?
@zaidan @JohnRobson It looks like archive.virtapi.org is dead so I corrected all downloads dependencies. @Tetrapyle And, what's happening ? Did you had a crashlog ? What gdb said in backtrace when crashing ? @jj_p atk was added as an old dependencie, so should try again, maybe that will solve your problem.
@Geballin the download of lib32-pango-1.43.0-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz results in 404:

Please update the dependencies to the new versions.
After a few years, I just (2020-03-26) tried it again. Aaaand... it crashes in 1 second.
The problem from @dwatzke with loading glyphs still exists, I am getting the same backtrace. Tried to install acroread-fonts and acroread-fonts-systemwide, but no luck. Any ideas?
I added dependencies listed by @valkheim and added lib32-at-spi2-atk to remove the message Failed to load module "atk-bridge"
@ujihisa On one machine, I have the same problem, opening preferences crash acrobat. Don't know why since on 2 other ones, it is working. But pdf opening and showing is working.
@dwatzke It's very strange, except freetype and cairo, all the other library are fixed versions that are working for me. You can't even launch the app and see the interface ?
Don't forget Acroread is still here only for some uncommon pdf that can't be opened and rendered on moderns pdf reader like xpdf or evince. This is a very old application, known to be instable and, even if I do my best to keep it usable on modern systems, the goal is to keep it opening and rendering pdf
I installed the following pacages, but I still see acroread to crash when it tries to open "Preferences" or open certain PDF files.
lib32-atk lib32-libcanberra lib32-mesa lib32-gtk-engine-murrine
lib32-cairo lib32-libxinerama lib32-libxi lib32-libxrandr lib32-libxcursor lib32-libxcomposite lib32-fribidi lib32-libthai

@jj_p Yes I had this problem. I solved it by installing libs32-atk. But also lib32-mesa, lib32-cairo, lib32-lixinerama, lib32-libxi, lib32-libxrandr, lib32-libxcursor, lib32-libxcomposite, lib32-fribidi, lib32-libthai.
I've just installed the package, and when I lauch it I get
/opt/Adobe/Reader9/Reader/intellinux/bin/acroread: error while loading shared libraries: libatk-1.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Has anyone had this problem before?
@dwatzke @mueslo @zoe I updated lib32-librsvg-2.44.9-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz path. It's all working for me.
Error 404 for the file :
http://archive.virtapi.org/packages/l/lib32-librsvg/lib32-librsvg-2.44.9-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
As dwatzke says, replacing it in PKGBUILD by :
http://mirrors.aggregate.org/archlinux/multilib/os/x86_64/lib32-librsvg-2.44.9-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
does the job
@Geballin: it crashes for me too, using ACRO_CRASHLOG=1 just generated an empty file into the dir you mentioned
so I tried to adjust the exec to launch it via gdb and got sigsegv with this bt:

@cschmid : I can't help without any information about the crash. On 3 differents Arch installations it is working for me (opening acroread and opening a pdf). Gtk warnings are just warnings about themes, they are "normal" (I have them too) and are present even if the application is working.
To have a crash log and knowing from where come your problem, you must launch :
ACRO_CRASHLOG=1 acroread
Crash logs are created in /tmp/acroCrashLogs/
If you have no crashlog, maybe you simply have a seg fault with a library call. In that case, run acroread in gdb, edit line 22 of /usr/bin/acroread and change it to :
exec gdb ${1+"$@"}
Doing so you could know where you have a seg fault (and I could investigate starting by there).
I can confirm that it does not start as described by @giswqs.
@Geballin: Is this a upstream or package issue?
Does not start. Got the following message:
(acroread:31920): Gtk-WARNING **: 14:11:16.998: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "adwaita",
(acroread:31920): Gtk-WARNING **: 14:11:17.001: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "adwaita",
so since some updated acroread crashed for me, whenever I try to open a presentation created by LaTeX, including an animation from the animate texpackage. Has anyone experienced this? Do you have a solution? the crash log reads
/usr/bin/acroread [0x850ab41] [@0x8048000]

I also needed to remove /opt/Adobe/Reader9/Reader/intellinux/plug_ins/Annots.api and ~/.adobe/Acrobat/9.0/Synchronizer to avoid a crash when opening some PDFs.
Acroread crashing here. It crashes when loading the fonts, as strace indicates:

Particularily, it crashes when loading DejaVuSans.
Removing /usr/share/fonts/TTF/DejaVu* makes it start correctly.
After it starts up, fonts can be re-added and it no longer crashes.
After the latest update of lib32-pango (to version 1:1.44.1-1):
/opt/Adobe/Reader9/Reader/intellinux/bin/acroread: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib32/libpango-1.0.so.0: undefined symbol: g_unicode_script_get_type
Copying the libraries from lib32-pango-1:1.43.0-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz (https://archive.archlinux.org/packages/l/lib32-pango/) to /opt/Adobe/Reader9/Reader/intellinux/lib/ resolves the issue.
The lib32-glib2 package seems to be removed, I get ERROR: Failure while downloading https://archive.archlinux.org/packages/l/lib32-glib2/lib32-glib2-2.56.0%2B7%2Bg66948ae23-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
@kifuna: Yes, lib32-tdb is required by lib32-libcanberra. Without lib32-libcanberra, acroread prints annoying warning messages, and I don't like that. Only lib32-tdb should be downgraded, I can use lib32-libcanberra of the latest version. And strangely "copy lib32-tdb files to /opt/Adobe/Reader9/Reader/intellinux/lib method" fails.
@tattsan: I am surprised that an old version of lib32-tdb is needed at all. I only had to add lib32-cairo 1.15.12-1 to restore the printing function.
The problem of acroread crashing is most probably related to lib32-libcanberra, which according to https://www.archlinux.org/packages/multilib/x86_64/lib32-tdb is the only package that requires lib32-tdb. It seems that if you want to use lib32-libcanberra, then this library needs to be downgraded too.
I now installed lib32-libcanberra for testing purposes and acroread crashes immediately. Deinstalling it, acroread runs fine again.
@kifuna: Almost all lib32 libraries work well with that method, but lib32-tdb doesn't.
@cadilhac: You need to copy the libraries in the versions mentioned by Tomatopaste below.
Actually, it would be great if those libraries could be bundled like currently lib32-glib2 and lib32-harfbuzz.
@cadilhac I have these warnings too but there are just warnings, acroread works perfectly on my computers even after writing these warnings :
Gtk-Message: 14:24:08.300: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module"
Gtk-Message: 14:24:08.313: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module"
Gtk-Message: 14:24:08.658: Failed to load module "atk-bridge"

(acroread:28390): Gtk-WARNING **: 14:24:08.786: Impossible de trouver le moteur de thème dans module_path : « adwaita »
If you want to know why it crash, launch acroread with ACRO_CRASHLOG activated : $ env ACRO_CRASHLOG=1 acroread
You should have a crashlog created in /tmp/acroCrashLogs/ saying what the problem is.
@kifuna : I went with a
# cd /opt/Adobe/Reader9/Reader/intellinux/lib
# for f in *; do cp /usr/lib32/$f .; done
but no cheese.
Crashing with the following errors:
Gtk-Message: **: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module"
Gtk-Message: **: Failed to load module "atk-bridge"
Crashing:
$ acroread
(acroread:27536): Gtk-WARNING **: 20:31:04.872: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "adwaita",
(acroread:27536): Gtk-WARNING **: 20:31:04.878: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "adwaita",
@Tomatopaste: There is no need to downgrade these packages, it suffices to copy the respective libraries to /opt/Adobe/Reader9/Reader/intellinux/lib.
tattsan's comment from 2019-02-08 19:55 really helped! The latest upgrade of lib32-icu now also lets acroread crash. The following downgrades helped for me (consult https://archive.archlinux.org/ to find legacy packages):
Feel free to pin this comment.
@s_m , lib32-libcanberra depends on lib32-tdb, and you can downgrade lib32-tdb as in my previous post.
I've installed lib32-libcanberra, but acroread doesn't crash.
acroread crashes if I install lib32-libcanberra. If I remove it, it works again.
After I upgraded lib32-libxml2 from 2.9.8-5 to 2.9.9-1, acroread crash again. Now I've downgraded the following three lib32 libraries:
lib32-tdb, downgraded to 1.3.15-2
lib32-cairo, downgraded to 1.15.12-1
lib32-libxml2, downgraded to 2.9.8-5
and then acroread works well.
Just built and ran this, it's definitely not perfect but despite what others are saying it's working for me.
I'm able to open PDFs with it, and also print those PDFs without any issues.
There were a few things I noticed that would cause a crash:
Hovering over "Sign" in the Document menu in the menu bar.
Right clicking anywhere in the PDF view area
Going to Edit > Preferences in the menu bar.
Definitely doesn't work.
Throws Gtk warnings about adwaita and unable to find xfce-notify.rc.
Yes, it does not even work for me either.
Not working, does not start at all.
Same here, even with the latest patches the acroread don't start anymore. I need it only to make PDF formes from e-deklaracje to work https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/e-deklaracje
acroread crashes just after starting. The UI is not even visible. I uploaded strace logs to: https://pastebin.pl/view/b7e53cf9
Could you change the description to "Adobe Acrobat Reader is a PDF file viewer"? Maybe I am being pedantic, but when I searched for acrobat this one didn't show up.
Would it be possible to please bundle lib32-cairo 1.15.12-1 too? This restores the printing capability.
After I upgraded lib32-cairo from 1.15.12-1 to 1.15.14-1, I can't invoke a dialog box for printing.
After I upgraded lib32-tdb from 1.3.15-2 to 1.3.16-1, acroread crash again.
I'm having the same issue. Tried removing and re-installing, but no dice. I get a couple warnings about adwaita theme, then it just stops with no error.
@tiago.casal no clue, I just compiled and ran it in a clean chroot yesterday and it worked fine. Could you run it with strace and send me the output?
this is pretty much dead to me, I can't get it to work for quite some time now. If ran from the terminal it just finishes the process, no error, no nothing.
any ideas?
I applied @olvie's patch to bundle the old harfbuzz and glib libs, acroread should work now.
Would be a good idea to include the needed old libraries in the package. See https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1802218#p1802218 where you can get the PKGBUILD patch.
Here is a workaround: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1802218#p1802218
Sorry, I cannot give support, this is not my software. This package is known to be broken, please find another pdf viewer.
Edit: See piona's comment below.
acroread segfaults for me.

====PACKAGE WAS COMPROMISED==== thanks @qwence for the detailed info. I'm surprised that this doesn't happen more often (or scared than it does and we don't ever find out)
[Edited again to provide more information: This package was compromised between the hours of 02:31 and 5:55 UTC on 2018-07-08. The PKGBUILD was modified to execute (via curl | bash) a script https://ptpb.pw/~x which in turn executed https://ptpb.pw/~u, an attempt to upload system details to a pastebin-type site. The script, however, contains a typo (calling $uploader when the function was actually upload()) so shouldn't actually do anything. The PKGBUILD also tried to install a systemd timer. Check for /usr/lib/xeactor, /usr/lib/systemd/system/xeactor.timer, /usr/lib/systemd/system/xeactor.service. The problematic commit to the PKGBUILD, which was reverted by a TU, can still be read here:
https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/commit/?h=acroread&id=b3fec9f2f167
]
After recent updates of lib32-harfbuzz (lib32-harfbuzz-1.8.1-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz) and lib32-glib2 (lib32-glib2-2.56.1-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz) acroread finishes with:

--- SIGSEGV {si_signo=SIGSEGV, si_code=SI_KERNEL, si_addr=NULL} ---
Solution (downgrade):
I'm also getting crashes based on fonts. I tried the kludgy fix of moving the dir but there were at least 10 fonts causing problems. There appears to be three environment variables that acroread pulls in:
PSRESOURCEPATH
ACRO_DISABLE_FONT_CONFIG
ACRO_ENABLE_FONT_CONFIG
None of these seem to do what we want because acrobat is hardcoded to pull in /usr/share/fonts
BTW. /usr/bin/acroread is just a script you can edit. Lots of info in it on what goes where.
Worked perfectly after applying @amon-ra fix : export GTK2_RC_FILES="/usr/share/gtk-2.0/gtkrc". Thanks.
The executable /opt/Adobe/Reader9/Reader/intellinux/bin/acroread is a 32 bit executable, but the dependencies I get after installation are:
$ pacman -Qi acroread ... Depends On : desktop-file-utils gtk2 libxml2 libxt mesa pangox-compat libidn lib32-libcurl-compat
In this way the 64 bit versions of gtk2, mesa etc. are listed as dependencies, while the real dependencies are their 32 bit versions from [multilib].
I think the error is on line 54 of the PKGBUILD, where depends is re-defined (by the way, why defining depends in package()?).
My fix was: export GTK2_RC_FILES="/usr/share/gtk-2.0/gtkrc"
It works for me if I set LANG=C
Thanks @nocri for getting to the bottom of this.
For me it didn't help to move /usr/share/fonts/noto, but I had to move /usr/share/fonts/TTF/DejaVuSans* to make it start again.
Obviously, neither is a very elegant solution, so I'd hope that somebody finds out even more... or at least a workaround where a font path can be set manually by an environment variable within /usr/bin/acroread.
Ok, I've strace'd it and it crashes after:
016 access("/usr/share/fonts/noto/NotoSans-Regular.ttc", R_OK) = 0
9017 openat(AT_FDCWD, "/usr/share/fonts/noto/NotoSans-Regular.ttc", O_RDONLY) = 5
so I've moved directory /usr/share/fonts/noto elsewhere, and it works ...
Probably too many font files there, or something? This program is really terribly bugged.
Solution (temporary):
sudo mv /usr/share/fonts/noto ~/noto_backup
Stopped working for me too :/
Hm, does not any longer work for me .. (x86_64) system.
At least, I need the package lib32-gtk-engines.
Before having it installed, a start of acroread outputs
Gtk-Message: 15:22:02.055: (for origin information, set GTK_DEBUG): failed to retrieve property `gtk-primary-button-warps-slider' of type `gboolean' from rc file value "((GString*) 0xabf3010)" of type `gboolean'

(acroread:9951): Gtk-WARNING **: 15:22:02.064: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "clearlooks",
and exits with exitcode 1.
After having installed lib32-gtk-engines, it only outputs
Gtk-Message: 15:24:03.224: (for origin information, set GTK_DEBUG): failed to retrieve property `gtk-primary-button-warps-slider' of type `gboolean' from rc file value "((GString*) 0x9d57010)" of type `gboolean'
still failing with exitcode 1, though.
@azer
All this dependencies are in the multilib repo. you have to enable it in pacman.conf
Dependencies are broken;
error: target not found: lib32-gtk2 error: target not found: lib32-libxml2 error: target not found: lib32-libxt error: target not found: lib32-mesa error: target not found: lib32-libidn error: target not found: lib32-glu
Can someone help me with this garbage? It crashes on start up. I tried removing EFS.api and commenting ipv6 in hosts.
@qin: I got the same dependency errors, but I didn't have multilib support enabled in "/etc/pacman.conf". Once I enabled it, everything worked correctly.
So, this package needs multilib enabled in pacman repositories for installation.
Couldn't get this running until I installed: lib32-libxml2 lib32-gtk2
Are the gtk2 and libxml2 requirements correct?
Is dependencies correct?
