I notice in a WINE entry, that some amount (not all) of the current Adobe PDf stuff
runs under WINE. That's not a native Linux executable, it's just
the Windows version of Adobe.

And the reason Adobe still has a Windows version, is as an advertising
platform for their rental-ware. It isn't actually designed to help anyone.
After a self-update on Windows one day, I got fed up with the "feature changes"
they made to it. I uninstalled it. When the dialog popped up asking
"why did you uninstall it?" I wrote in their feedback, that they had
removed one feature too many, and they were being turfed out. I have Okular
for Windows on the machine now. Adobe has been kicked out of residence.
No more Adobe software.
