I don't have acrobat installed.  I have kpdf and kghost.  kpdf throws up
a dialog that says "enter the password", but I don't know what that
password is.  These are ebook files from a class I'm taking online.
I've been having a running history of tech support problems with the
school, because they _dont support anything but M$_ ...  I wasnt aware
that Adobe had a recent version of Acrobat reader for Linux.  I can
check their site to see if its available; maybe that will help.
