!!! Locale issues If you are using RedHat 9 or [Fedora], AcrobatReader will probably crash at launch due to a problem with character sets: <verbatim> Warning: charset "UTF-8" not supported, using "ISO8859-1". aborting </verbatim> This problem occurs if your locale is set to one that uses UTF-8, which many distributions are now defaulting to. On other distributions (such as [Debian] and [Slackware]), AcrobatReader prints out the warning but doesn't abort. The locale(1) command will tell you what your locate is set to. The workaround is to edit <tt>''$PREFIX''/Acrobat5/bin/acroread</tt> and add the following lines near the top <verbatim> LANG=C export LANG </verbatim> See the UnicodeNotes page if you have no idea what "UTF-8" or "ISO-8859-1" means. <tt>:-)</tt> !!! Speeding up load times [Adobe] Reader 6.0 (only available on MicrosoftWindows) launches slowly because it loads a lot of usually superfluous plugins. Remove all files except for <tt>EWH32.api</tt>, <tt>printme.api</tt>, and <tt>search.api</tt> from the <tt>C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 6.0\Reader\plug_ins</tt> directory (change this depending on where Reader is installed) and it will launch much faster. Similar speedups can be achieved with other versions, including the older ones for [Linux], where the directory is <tt>''$PREFIX''/Acrobat5/Reader/intellinux/plug_ins/</tt>. !!! Printing multiple pages onto just one sheet of paper Go to <i>File → Print</i> as usual. In the <i>Page Scaling</i> dropdown in the <i>Page Handling</i> section, pick <i>Multiple Pages Per Sheet</i>. This will reveal other options to adjust how many pages will be printed on a single sheet. Very handy for bulk print jobs. !!! Fixing the <tt>expr: syntax error</tt> problem [See Javier Arturo Rodríguez | http://javier.rodriguez.org.mx/index.php/2007/06/01/fix-adobe-acrobat-readers-expr-syntax-error-message/].
