Evince is good, I use it in my other Linux distro. I think it relies on Gnome libraries though so I wouldn't swear it works in Puppy.

I am looking for a pdf viiewer that works with passworded files. It seems that my bank now requires adobe reader 6 to open your e-statements. I guess I will just keep letting them know how disappointed I am. I spent several days testing their website for Linux Compatibility and gave them a Linux Friendly rating for that.

Have you tried "Adobe Pdf Viewer for Linux?"
http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html
I think puppy has a pet for it, hmmmm I'll look
its a older version of 5 series, but muppy has 8 series, so you might want to try muppy:)
I think if your going to use this all the time, series 3.0.1 is a better choice for a base, anyways have fun

Thanks ttuuxxx, I was able to install the 8.1.1.1.pup and it comes to life and works well with local documents but it has issues connecting ssl to the bank's server to verify username and password. I get an error message to install a certificate from terminal but that does not work.I will look into it when I have more time perhaps.

I put together adobe 8.13 pet package, Also use firefox 2.0+ with it
http://www.puppylinux.asia/tpp/ttuuxxx/ ... er-8.0.pet
45 MB pet

plus first delete /root/.adobe
I've read around and seems like this version ssl works.
It does show missing libGLU when installing but that ok, it isn't needed for what your doing.

Hope this works for you

Thanks again but still the same issue. I have forwarded it to the bank's technical staff to play with. Here was the important part of my request.
With the help of the Puppy Linux team I have managed to install Adobe Acrobat Reader 8.13 for Linux and can now enter the login information, however....

I receive the following error.
"SSL Error. The required certificate was not found."

I have run the requested command with no difference.
It says it is looking for the certificate es.netteller.com 443
Please see the attached a BMP screenshot of the error for Windows users.
It will be interesting to see what I get for an answer from them since according to their directions I now exceed the requirements.

You are running firefox 2.0+ right?
Also another route could be just using wine and the default windows adobe reader grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

Yup, I am running Firefox/2.0.0.20, and I looked checked the settings and everything looks ok.

No wine on this machine thanks, I quit drinking that stuff a long time ago. It did come with xp and I updated that, added antivirus etc. and shrunk the partition, then created a new ext2 and installed 3.01 tmxxine and a lot of toys like K3b etc. I suppose it has been a couple months, I should boot to the other drive and update everything again when I have a couple hours to spare. Then I could install adobe on there and skip the wine but that seems like a lot of work for a bank statement I can read online.

Thanks again. I think for now I will use the email they send as a reminder to go look at my account ;)

If you wanted to try wine and adobe I think the orginal ChurchPup had wine and MS version of adobe reader. You might want to look at that.

Thanks--works great! (ePDFView had a bug that caused some pages of my sheet-music PDFs not to print correctly; they print correctly from Adobe 8.)

Has this been tested with Puppy 4.12 and Seamonkey 1.1.13?

What's up with the debate between Ayttm & Pidgin?

Is it about features or size or ???

Most of this is way over my head so it can be hard to sort out fact from opinion.

I don't see either one in the Menu.

Ayttm I found has issues, when you change your nickname you get like a url added to your name, Like
www.someplace.com ttuuxxx: Hi room
when it should be just
ttuuxxx: Hi room

Also its more complex to navigate with.
The pidgin I posted above has ssl so you can use the MSN messenger also.

Really I just use plain of html gmail account, but some like the MSN messenger thing, I used to use it a lot, but found it a great time waster.

I like Xchat better these days, its real small and fast room retrievall list

OK

So the extra feature of pidgin is that it makes ssl available to other apps?

I try to avoid all forms of chat as I find them invasive. I prefer E-mail as it is usually quick enough and better available for a "paper trail" when I want to revisit a discussion or document a discussion while allowing for reply-at-your-convenience versus reply-on-demand.

I text on my cell phone with couple of people and that is enough of a nuisance!

I a;ready use Pidgin, I already have it working with all the MSN Messenger, Google Talk was a little tricky. I even created a set of wolf smilies for it when I was bored one day based on the Yahoo set. I will check and see what version it is when I am on that comp later tonight.

I tried installing the openssl pet I found with the app search but that didn't help. Do you think it is just ssl I need then?

It might be for some odd reason only open SSL that you need, usually you can use one of 3 times for linux.

Thank you.

Ok, I got openssl installed with gslapt and tried to install the certificate, now I get the same error, but when I run this, (Web address altered for security)

Try to run the following command from terminal--
"acroread -installCertificate es.somewebsite.com 433"

I get the following.

Code: Select all

Fetching certificate from website....
connect: Connection refused
connect:errno=29
Here I become totally lost.

Just got to the bottom of a problem that this Acrobat pet install caused.

Fairly serious substitution of /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6 to point to it's own

usr/share/Adobe/Reader8/Reader/intellinux/lib/libstdc++.so.6.0.7

instead of the pre-existing Puppy /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6.0.9

This caused freememapplet to choke, along with possibly other problems.
