   I notice in a WINE entry, that some amount (not all) of the current Adobe PDf   
   stuff   
   runs under WINE. That's not a native Linux executable, it's just   
   the Windows version of Adobe.   
      
   And the reason Adobe still has a Windows version, is as an advertising   
   platform for their rental-ware. It isn't actually designed to help anyone.   
   After a self-update on Windows one day, I got fed up with the "feature changes"   
   they made to it. I uninstalled it. When the dialog popped up asking   
   "why did you uninstall it?" I wrote in their feedback, that they had   
   removed one feature too many, and they were being turfed out. I have Okular   
   for Windows on the machine now. Adobe has been kicked out of residence.   
   No more Adobe software.
