#191118 — Acrobat Reader stops works

Recently I have to reinstall my system.
Most of things works OOTB, but I cannot make Acrobat Reader (9.5.5) to
work.
Stracing shows segmentation fault (catched) in main thread.
Worse thing is, on second computer with the same libraries(and the same versions) acroread
work.
Any hints/thoughts?

That's rather an unhelpful answer, isn't it?

Kamil, can you post the actual output of strace? What version of
Debian you are using would also be good, especially kernel version.

No, it isn't.
Suggesting to move away from an unmaintained (since 4+ years) piece of
software which probably has lots of unfixed (security) bugs is a rather
sensible thing to do.

I do not think so because acrobat reader is no more supported by adobe.
This is very unfortunate, but true.

Well, I would LOVE to drop acrobat, but there is an application (adobe
air, sigh)  which uses pdf forms to fill. So can I have a drop in
replacement for acrobat to do this?

Another thought: according to the app database at winehq.org, it's
possible to install the Windows version under Linux.

usually you would run the binary from gdb and see where it fails

most probably there is missing library or conflict

As acroread is i386 application could be that you missed some i386 package
needed - just compare what you have installed on your working machine

1. With strace I checked which libraries were open, then (with dpkg -S )
found packages - no differences on *.so files.
2. Moreover I copied  proper *.so files from "working"  to "non-working"
computer, to dedicatd directory, and with LD_LIBRARY_PATH forced to use
them - no success. 
Something strange must be with data (fonts? preferences? I don't know)

I just tried with what I had around Acroread 9.5.5 from 2013

I had to install

libxml2:i386  
libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0:i386
libgtk2.0-bin:i386

and then it worked.

I use stretch amd64

Are you on stretch ( I forgot already if you mentioned it) 

make backup sudo cp `which acroread` `which acroread`.bkp

sudo vi `which acroread`

and change LaunchBinary() to following

LaunchBinary()
{
#    We are not LSB compliant yet, so let's not use ld-lsb.so.3 as loader.
#    if [ "`uname -s`" = "Linux" ] && [ ! -x /lib/ld-lsb.so.3 ]; then
#        exec /lib/ld-linux.so.2 ${1+"$@"}
#    else
        #exec ${1+"$@"}
        ldd ${1+"$@"}
#    fi
}

when run see what libraries are displayed and if all are there

repeat and compare with your working machine

when done revert backup sudo cp `which acroread`.bkp `which acroread`

I tried this also, on working and not working machine. No differences
in list of libraries.

you could replace ldd with gdb or valgrind and get the stack where it fails

Unfortunately, "Adobe Air" application cannot work with adobe under wine
:/
Blah.

Another puzzle element: with libc6_2.25-6 (i386+amd64) reader works.

what puzzle, you said you compared all the libraries. I have in stretch:
libc6:amd64/i386 2.24-11+deb9u1

with which version it was not working and where libc6_2.25-6 comes from?

I am using sid. And when is installed libc6_2.25-6 then acrobat worked on both machines.
when  2.26-4  is installed work on one machine, and does not work on
second.

A shot in the dark: this might be bug#887169[1], try the suggested
workaround of setting the environment variable

GLIBC_TUNABLES=glibc.tune.hwcaps=-SSE4_2

Good luck,

Evince can fill (at least some) forms, e.g., this one:

http://foersom.com/net/HowTo/data/OoPdfFormExample.pdf

I don't know the extent to which its capabilities match those of
Acrobat, or whether it works on all PDFs, but I've used it successfully
when I needed this functionality.
