I applied @olvie's patch to bundle the old harfbuzz and glib libs, acroread should work now.

There are reports about this software dying after 15s again.
known workarounds:
• use another pdf-reader whereever possible
• use acroread windows version in wine (HowTo: https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=27093&iTestingId=92286)
• remove /opt/Adobe/Reader9/Reader/intellinux/plug_ins/EFS.api (this might have unknown consequences regarding your data and software functionality, especially related to internet connectivity)
• comment out the ipv6 line (::1) in /etc/hosts (this might impair your ipv6 connectivity and functionality of locally communicating programs)

This package *is not* out-of-date, it serves outdated software.

@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 **: 14:24:08.733: Impossible de trouver le moteur de thème dans module_path : « adwaita »

(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

@Tomatopaste: There is no need to downgrade these packages, it suffices to copy the respective libraries to /opt/Adobe/Reader9/Reader/intellinux/lib.

Tomatopaste commented on 2019-04-10 10:18

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):

  • lib32-cairo 1.15.12-1
  • lib32-icu 63.1-2
  • lib32-libxml2 2.9.8-5
  • lib32-tdb 1.3.15-2

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.

s_m commented on 2019-02-10 13:12

acroread crashes if I install lib32-libcanberra. If I remove it, it works again.
