Adobe Pulls Linux PDF Reader Downloads From Website
|
||||
================================================================================
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Other PDF solutions are available on Linux
|
||||
|
||||
**Things are about to get tricky for anyone needing to use Adobe’s own PDF reader application on Linux, as the company has pulled the software from download.**
|
||||
|
||||
As flagged by a [Reddit user][1] who visited the Adobe site to grab the app, Linux builds are no longer listed alongside other ‘[supported’ operating][2] systems.
|
||||
|
||||
It’s not know when, much less why, the Linux build was removed but reports first began to surface online in August.
|
||||
|
||||
Not that this is too surprising. The official Linux version had not been updated since May 2013, and even then continued to lag behind on version 9.5.x while Windows and Mac builds sped on to v11.x.
|
||||
|
||||
### Who Cares, Right? Well… ###
|
||||
|
||||
Is this a great loss? You might think not. After all, Adobe Reader is an app with a tarnished reputation. Slow, resource intensive and bloated. Native PDF reading apps like Evince and Okular provide first-class experience without the overhead.
|
||||
|
||||
Snark aside, the decision will impact some. Some government websites still provide official documents and applications that can only be completed or submitted using the official Adobe app.
|
||||
|
||||
Adobe is no stranger to giving penguins the brush off. The company [stopped releasing official builds of][3] Flash for Linux in 2012 (leaving it to Google to tend to), [and excluded Tux-loving users from its cross-platform application runtime “Air” the year before][4].
|
||||
|
||||
All is not lost. While the links are no longer offered through the website the Debian installer remains accessible from the Adobe FTP server. Plan on using the old release? You do so at your own risk and without support from Adobe. Also note that these builds are likely contain unfixed vulnerabilities.

Adobe从网站上撤下了Linux PDF Reader的下载链接。
|
||||
================================================================================
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Linux上的其他PDF解决方案
|
||||
|
||||
**由于该公司从网站上撤下了软件的下载链接，因此这对于任何需要在Linux上使用Adobe这家公司的PDF阅读器的人而言这事变得棘手了。**
|
||||
|
||||
由一位访问Adobe抓取app的[Reddit 用户][1]标记的，Linux版本不再与其他[支持的操作系统][2]列在一起了。
|
||||
|
||||
不知道什么时候，更不知道为什么，Linux版本被删除了，但报告在八月份才开始浮出水面。
|
||||
|
||||
这也并没有太惊讶。官方的Linux版本在2013年5月才更新，而且当时还在滞后的版本9.5.x上，而Windows和Mac版已经在v11.x。
|
||||
|
||||
### 谁在意呢？是吗 ###
|
||||
|
||||
这是一个巨大的损失么？你可能并不会这么想。毕竟Adobe Reader是一款名声不好的app。速度慢，资源密集型而且臃肿。原生的PDF阅读app像Evince和Okular提供了一流的体验而没有上面的那些缺点。
|
||||
|
||||
除开Snark，这一决定将会影响一些事。一些政府网站只能使用官方Abode应用才能完成或者提交提供的官方文档和程序。
|
||||
|
||||
Adobe把企鹅给刷了并不陌生。公司在2012年[停止Linux上flash版本的更新][3]（把它留给Google去做）。[并且先前将喜爱Tux的用户从它们的跨平台运行时“Air”中排除了][4]。
|
||||
|
||||
并没有失去一切。虽然网在不再提供链接了，然而在Adobe FTP服务器上仍有Debian的安装程序。计划使用老的版本？自己承担风险且没有来自Adobe的支持。同样注意这些版本可能还有没有修复的漏洞。
