Adobe doesn't seem to have acroread for x86_64 linux, or at least I don't see it anywhere.
Anybody know otherwise?

This is from a Fedora 18 machine - I believe it will be the same for Centos but I have not tried !
I have both i386 and x86_64 repos configured and I cannot see x86_64 version of AdobeReader
ja@minix ~ 1$ repoquery -a --repoid=adobe-linux-x86_64 adobe-release-x86_64-0:1.0-1.noarch flash-plugin-0:11.2.202.273-release.x86_64
ja@minix ~ 2$ repoquery -a --repoid=adobe-linux-i386 ... AdobeReader_deu-0:9.4.2-1.i486 AdobeReader_enu-0:9.5.4-1.i486 AdobeReader_esp-0:8.1.7-1.i486 ... adobe-release-i386-0:1.0-1.noarch flash-plugin-0:11.2.202.273-release.i386 --------------------------------------------------------------
I do get confused by the names of the rpm files though
[root@minix:~]$ yumdownloader AdobeReader_enu down loads AdbeRdr9.5.4-1_i486linux_enu.rpm
which when it is installed becomes this AdobeReader_enu-9.5.4-1.i486 NOT AdobeReader_enu-0:9.5.4-1.i486
[root@minix:~]$ rpm -qa|grep -i adobe AdobeReader_enu-9.5.4-1.i486 adobe-release-i386-1.0-1.noarch adobe-source-libraries-1.0.43-13.fc18.x86_64 adobe-release-x86_64-1.0-1.noarch -------------------------------------------------------------- Direct download of AdbeRdr9.5.4-1_i486linux_enu.rpm also works wget http://linuxdownload.adobe.com/linux/i386/AdbeRdr9.5.4-1_i486linux_enu.rpm
