[edit] Introduction

Always wanted to read that ebook of yours you bought last xmas on http://www.amazon.com in Linux. Well guess what! It's your(read: our) lucky day, I figured out how to get Adobe Reader 7 up and running with DRM under CrossOver Office.

[edit] Necessary Tools 

emerge crossover-office-pro-bin
  • Install Internet Explorer 6 under a Win98 bottle.
  • Do this command. 
cp -u ~/.cxoffice/win98/drive_c/Windows/System/* ~/.cxoffice/win2000/drive_c/Windows/System/
  • Reinstall Internet Explorer 6 under the Win2k bottle, see step 2.

[edit] Adobe Reader

  • Get Adobe Reader Full Installation for Windows 2000/XP from Adobe's Website. Install to default and follow instructions.
  • Obtain activation key from Adobe DRM Activation. Save this on your local disk to something like SNXXXXX.edn
  • Activate Reader 
/opt/cxoffice/bin/wine --bottle win2000 ~/.cxoffice/win2000/drive_c/Program\ Files/Adobe/Acrobat\ 7.0/Reader/AcroRd32.exe ~/SNXXXXX.edn
  • Restart Acrobat reader when finished activation.

[edit] Optional: Adding e-books.

  • To install ebooks, use this command: 
/opt/cxoffice/bin/wine --bottle win2000 ~/.cxoffice/win2000/drive_c/Program\ Files/Adobe/Acrobat\ 7.0/Reader/AcroRd32.exe ~/ebx.edt
