Acrobat reader 7.0 is out

[Christoph Georgi]

I just created a soft link as follows:

chg at daemon:/usr/bin $ ll | grep acro
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           40 2005-03-16 17:06 acroread -> 
/usr/local/Adobe/Acrobat7.0/bin/acroread

And, sorry, no, it doesn't work. Where did you see the error message 
you're talking about?

Any other ideas?

Thanks
