I see you still need a PhD to install and open it.

Yeah, I know how to do it, but this is far from user friendly. And, tell me, has it support to play embedded sound files as Acroread 7.0.1 for windows has.
Quoting:I see you still need a PhD to install and open it.
I am not sure you need PhD. On PCLinuxOS, all I needed was rpm and two entries where created under KMenu in "Graphics" and "Office" groups.

I did it last night and haven't used it that much to find out about embedded sound files.
