PDF file readers not opening .pdf file correctly

I'm new to Zorin. My wife just downloaded a pdf file that she had "filled in the blanks" online. None of the installed Zorin 8 pdf readers would open it correctly. It opened as a blank. I had to take the file into Windows XP and read and print it using Adobe Acrobat Reader. Can we get Adobe Reader for Zorin? It is not listed as a downloadable program on the Software Center. Why won't the installed pdf readers read this file corectly?

Which PDF readers do you use in Linux?

Have you tried Foxit? see here for more info:https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Foxit

Hope that works for you. Let us know if it solves the problem.

Hi,

go here and select the Linux .deb version and install with Gdebi:

If you need Gdebi, install it via a terminal (Ctrl + Alt + t) with this command:

Code:
sudo apt-get install gdebi
