Adobe doesn't seem to have acroread for x86_64 linux, or at least I don't see it anywhere.
Anybody know otherwise?
Evince and other tools work pretty well, but I have always liked having the "real thing" around for those occasions when they don't.
What would be the advantage running having this software in 64b?
the "advantage" would be the diff between having it and not, as opposed to having it in 64-bit versus 32-bit.
Modern 64-bit installs do not install all the 32-bit runtimes needed to run 32-bit programs, so having to use a 32-bit program can be painful, give you'd need to install a bazillion other files just to accommodate that one proggy.

<snip> Adobe *does* have a 64-bit repo. Install it as follows:
rpm -ivh http://linuxdownload.adobe.com/adobe-release/adobe-release-x86_64-1.0-1.noar...
and enjoy.

Was just about to mention that. :-)
Adobe Reader is also rather slow and sluggish compared to some of the other pdf-readers available. At least in my experience.

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
