Adobe acrobat reader (program review)

                                  
Program: Adobe acrobat reader
Developer: Adobe
Publisher: Adobe
Year: 1993
Genre: program

I tested the 1.0 version. After you install the program, you can open a .pdf file.
You have the following buttons on top (just a few presented here) :

file-open/close
edit-rebuild font list/preferences
view-zoom to/next page/go to page
tools-zoom in/find
window-hide tool bar
help-acrobat reader help

DosBox turbo config :

mount d: /storage/sdcard1/dos/
d:
cd adobedos
acrobat

Controls :
mouse pointer and up and down d-pad to move trough pages

Program advice :
You will have to arrange right or left in page upon zoom out. If you hold the mouse pointer, the page will scrool, but before releasing you will see a grey portion. If the document has tabs like buttons on the left, you can click for certain only on the document icon type before the word letters, to acces that word. HELPREAD.PDF, which is 452.11 kb and  TOURREAD.PDF which is 468.47 kb, read without problems. ,, An error occurred while processing page resources. (19),, if the are much bigger.
If you open another pdf file, it will not remember ,,zoom in,,. Go to Settings Menu, Gesture Mapping and click Double Tap Action. Now choose Double L. Click and you can double click various folders and files. From DosBox turbo, in ,,Settings Menu,, uncheck ,,Keep Aspect Ratio,, so the screen will ocupy the whole screen and not its left and right sides, which are cut with black backround.
Slide on the left screen of DosBox turbo and from ,,Tracking,, choose ,,Absolute,, so the mouse pointer will be almost under your finger. If you put DosBox turbo on the android backround if you get a call, choose again ,,Absolute,,.

Cycles :
Auto

Cleaning cache with a antivirus deletes my DosBox manager .cfg files

Cleaning cache with a antivirus deletes my DosBox manager .cfg files. So, if your antivirus or other program
on your phone does this, just don't do it.
The .cfg files for you games are in Android folder - com.fishstix.dosboxlauncher folder.
And if you want, you can clear cache yourself from the phone directly.
