Selected Test Results (selected in 'Test Results' table below)
What works
I have been able to flawlessly use annotation tools, 16 simultaneous tabs, "Save As...", and other routine things.
What does not
I needed to install the native odbc32.dll using the instructions here before it would start: http://wiki.winehq.org/NativeOdbc
What was not tested
I only tested functions that I need in my routine usage.
Additional Comments
- Used the portable version of Foxit that doesn't require installation.
- Created the following shell script that can be invoked with Linux pathnames and automatically invokes Foxit with the appropriate Wine pathname:
#!/bin/sh
/opt/FoxitReader.exe `winepath -w "$1"`
