>Description:
The help viewer in print/acroread8 does not work properly. The initial
view comes up after selecting "Help->Adobe Reader 8 Help..." and it
is possible to navigate using the "+" and "-" in the contents in the
left pane. But it does not display any of the help contents in the right
pane.
>How-To-Repeat:

>Fix:
A workaround is to replace the adobe help viewer launch script:

/usr/local/Adobe/Reader8/ENU/Adobe/HelpViewer/1.0/intellinux/bin/ahv

with a script that instead launches a browser.

(But see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=ports/129553 for
how to work around a problem launching non-linux programs from acroread8)
