Install Adobe Reader on openSUSE Leap 15.0. Adobe Reader is no longer supported by Adobe on Linux and accordingly it can no longer be supported by openSUSE. Using an outdated Adobe Reader version is a security risk. (https://en.opensuse.org/Adobe_Reader)

$ acroread

In the meantime, I found that another shared library needs to be added to the list above, even though it does not appear in the output from ldd(1).
When trying to print from acroread, only "Custom ..." is available as a printer. For acroread to see the CUPS-configured printers, it calls libcups.so.2. So an older version of that library, too, has to be copied over from the old OS installation and linked in like the others above:

libcups.so.2 -> ../lib.oldOS/libcups.so.2

Only then will the printers appear in acroread's "Print..." dialog.

Hello:

I use openSUSE Leap 15.1 too and want to install Adobe Reader 9.5.5.
I followed the steps above: I copied openSUSE Leap 42.3 32-bit libraries under lib.oS423 and modified the acroread script accordingly. Adobe Reader now runs nicely. But the printers are not shown in Reader's print window, only the text "Custom", as it is said above.
I also copied libcups.so.2 (32-bit) from Leap 42.3 but it did not help. Still no printers. Any idea how could I solve it?

Thanks,

This may help:

https://hub.docker.com/r/mgor/acroread/

I needed this command line to invoke it:
docker run -ti --rm -e DISPLAY=$DISPLAY -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix -v /home/myusername:/mnt/mydata mgor/acroread

Many thanks! This really helped me.

For people out there that maybe as clueless as me, I created the appimage out from here to simplify the works needed (Even though it is still a sloppy work). Details on https://github.com/chrizneko/acroreadsuse15
