JDF library in wine?

[Gernot Hassenpflug]

Hello all,

I wonder if there is a way to set up the so-called JDF library
required by several Adobe software? I haven't been able to find out
what it is, nor whether wine has any way to set this up, or even if I
can copy windows DLL's over.

I can get Adobe Acrobat 7.0 to run, for example, but many actions fail
with the error "cannot initialize JDF library".

Any enlightenment happily accepted.

What actions? If you give us a recipe to reproduce the
problem, maybe we can find the bug.

Also, which version of Wine and of Linux are you using?

Hi Dan and thanks:

wine version 0.9.56 for AMD64;
linux Ubuntu Hardy on AMD64.

I installed Acrobat 7.0, and this installs the Distiller also. When I
open a PS file, Acrobat tries to load it (convert via Distiller) and
stops at about 18% with the message "unable to initialize JDF
library". Pressing "OK" on this message brings up the next message
"unknown error 0x800706BE". Pressing "OK" on this brings up a message
box saying the file could not be opening and that perhaps it is not a
supported format and so on.

I can open PDF files and print them, but if I try to use the "Save as"
command, Acrobat crashes with no warning.

I am pretty happy that I can open and print PDF files, for starters
though.

Followup: I was a bit hasty saying printing "worked". It seems to
print out raw PS on the printer (Konika-Minolta C450 using generic
postscript driver with CUPS). I have never set up printing under wine
before, so I am not sure if the cause of the problem is a necessary
setup I have neglected to do, or an issue with the wine interface
between Acrobat and CUPS.

OK, thanks for the reports, I can try to duplicate that.
