Firefox Can’t Find Acobat Reader In Your Home Directory (Linux)
After installing Acrobat Reader in my home directory, I was getting the following error when trying to view a PDF using Firefox:
Could not launch Adobe Reader 9.1.2. Please make sure it exists in PATH variable in the environment. If the problem persists, please reinstall the application..
I fixed it by creating a “.profile” file in my home directory (/home/user/.profile) with the following line:
export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/apps/acrobatreader/Adobe/Reader9/bin/
Note: You might need to adapt acrobat reader’s binary path.
