Is it possible to use a Linux workstation; if not, why not?

[charlesrkiss]

I would like to use Chrome or Firefox on my Linux workstation. I have a Windows 7 guest (vm) but do I really have to use Windows or Mac to edit PDF documents in this cloud?  If so, why?

Hi charlesrkiss,

You can download Google Chrome for Linux using this link Download and install Google Chrome - Chrome Help.

However let me inform you that there is no Acrobat application for Linux, please refer to the system requirements System requirements | Adobe Acrobat Pro DC, Adobe Acrobat Standard DC.

Thank you!  But do I have to actually DOWNLOAD/INSTALL software into my machine (other than a product code)?  Why isn't all the processing (Adobe reading and writing) happening in the cloud through a simple web browser and a keyboard? I have a Windows 7 vm guest (that if I have to), but I'm just curious  -why?

Hey charlesrkiss,

For using the Edit feature you will have to work on the application. Document cloud supports only few online acrobat features.

Hello; good evening; Yes it is possible after installing the corresponding application of good origin and compatible with the program.

See you soon;

success;

hugs ...

So, I have to Download and Install the application onto my computer (a compatible Windows OS, for example), and use it from there.  Seems kinda redundant, but okay.  It would be kinda nice if you guys handled all the processing in the cloud, too.

So, what's the actual benefit of the Document Cloud then, just storing files?  I'm not trying to be difficult; I'm just curious.
