acroread for Debian
-------------------

Here are a few "gotchas" that you may experience, but are easily solved.

 1. "Let's hide ourselves till we've opened the doc!"

    Yes, acroread_4.05 does that.  Try running

$ acroread

    with no document opened.  Then, on the menubar, go to Help->Reader Guide.
    Watch in horror as acroread disappears as if it had crashed, then
    a few seconds later, reappears with the Adobe Acrobat Reader 4.0 Guide
    opened.  :-)  Yes, it is "normal" behaviour.


 2. "Where is the [Accept] button for the End User License Agreement (EULA)?"
    "Why does the EULA screen pop up every time I start acroread?"

    The EULA window is designed for a screen resolution of 1024×768 or
    higher.  800×600 or less is too small to fit the EULA window.  Try to
    move the EULA window until you see the [Accept] button, and click on
    that; don't just close/kill the window.  That should solve your problem. 
    :-)

Special thanks to Peter Annema for the tips!  :-)
