    if you have downloaded the rpm package, as root, execute in terminal:
    rpm -i adobe_package.rpm

    Regards

    Download the rpm file.

    Code:
    su -c 'rpm -ivh http://ardownload.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/unix/9.x/9.3.4/enu/AdbeRdr9.3.4-1_i486linux_enu.rpm'

    Personal Fedora 13 Installation Guide

    use thes comand as root user



    To view PDF files, Fedora recommends using either evince or okular. The following is for users requiring Adobe Acrobat Reader:

    For yum users:

    Install the Adobe YUM repository, and install through yum:

    [mirandam@charon Download]$ sudo rpm -ivh http://linuxdownload.adobe.com/adobe...0-1.noarch.rpm
    [mirandam@charon Download]$ sudo rpm --import /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-adobe-linux

    [mirandam@charon Download]$ sudo yum install AdobeReader_enu

    NOTE: The above uses the English version: enu. To see which languages are supported by Adobe's YUM repository, run the following command:

    [mirandam@charon Download]$ yum list AdobeReader\*

    Either your download the RPM file as suggested or you execute the installer on your command line:
    Code:
    chmod +x ./AdbeRdr9.3.3-1_i486linux_enu.bin
    ./AdbeRdr9.3.3-1_i486linux_enu.bin

    Hello reed9, Thanks for your reply. I have downloaded the rpm file 'AdbeRdr9.3.4-1_i486linux.enu.rpm'. Now, I'm trying to install it. In terminal I entered 'rpm -i AdbeRdr9.3.4-1_i486linux_enu.rpm' but it said there was an error. What did I do wrong? Thanks, Larry

    Which error exactly? Did you start the installation using sudo?
