= Adobe Reader on Fedora =

Here are step-by-step instructions for building and installing an Adobe Reader RPM package
(and mozilla plugin) on Fedora, using the `nosrc` package from [[http://dag.wieers.com/home-made/apt/|Dag Wieers' repository]].

/!\ Adobe only provide binaries for 32-bit Intel processors on Linux, so this procedure will not work for
x86_64 and ppc users.

== Create RPM Build Environment ==

If you have not built RPM packages using your regular user account (not root) before, you should
[[CreateRPMBuildEnvironment|create an RPM build environment]] for your account before going any further.

== Set Up SELinux Security Contexts ==

Dag's package uses hardlinks to place the mozilla plugin in three different directory locations.
To ensure that the plugin gets the correct SELinux context type assigned, use `semanage` as follows:
{{{
[localhost ~]$ sudo semanage fcontext -a -f -- -t textrel_shlib_t '/usr/lib/[^/]*/plugins/nppdf\.so'
}}}

{i} This step is only necessary if you wish to use the browser plugin.

== Install Adobe Reader RPMs ==

{{{
[localhost ~]$ sudo rpm -Uvh ~/rpmbuild/RPMS/i386/acroread-7.0.8-1.rf.i386.rpm \
    ~/rpmbuild/RPMS/i386/mozilla-acroread-7.0.8-1.rf.i386.rpm
Preparing...                ########################################### [100%]
   1:acroread               ########################################### [ 50%]
   2:mozilla-acroread       ########################################### [100%]
}}}

{i} You only need to install the `mozilla-acroread` package if you wish to use the browser plugin.

The browser plugin should be visible in `about:plugins` after restarting the browser.
