Linux Wine and PDF-viewer and PDF-Xchange Editor

I had a problem installing PDF-Viewer in Linux with Wine because the install file contained both 32bit and 64bit versions, and the 64bit version was the one that got installed no matter what I did to force it to install as 32bit (lots of info on the web about that but none of it worked for me, probably because both 32 and 64 were within the same install file).

I got PDF-Viewer to work by removing regular Wine then installing it with the i386 version (no 62bit). Here’s where I got the info: http://askubuntu.com/questions/483636/installing-32-bit-wine-1-7-19-on-64-bit-ubuntu-14-04 .

Add the official wine repository to Linux Mint

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa -y && sudo apt-get update

Install the 32 bit version of Wine

sudo apt-get install wine1.7:i386

Run Menu/Wine/Configure Wine — you’ll be asked to install mono and gecko.

That’s it. Then installed PDF-Viewer and it just works.
