6f5cc3d5b3 Update to 8.1.2. Bug fixes and enhancements can be found at
http://blogs.adobe.com/acroread/2008/02/#a005029:

[General Issues]

* Font caching Issues: Various font caching issues are fixed in Reader
  8.1.2, including the issue of fonts that were configured using
  fontconfig not being picked up by the Reader to render documents
  (reported by Novell).

* Problem with Dual-screen setup (Xinerama mode).: Issue number 4
  listed on the Known Issues page for Reader 8.1.1.

* Document ordering and fullscreen mode: Issue has been fixed in
  Reader 8.1.2.

* Font KozGoProVI-Medium.otf is missing in Japanese Reader: This issue
  is fixed in Reader 8.1.2.

[Printing Related Issues]

* Incorrect orientation: Issues with printing PDF files containing
  portrait and landscape pages have been fixed in Reader
  8.1.2. Choosing "Auto Rotate and Center" will now print the pages in
  their inherent orientation.

* Red wash on printing with HP CLJ 2605: A workaround for this has
  been added in the preferences
  ($HOME/.adobe/Acrobat/8.0/Preferences/reader_prefs), namely
  "brokenCRDs". This value is set to "false" by default and can be
  modified to "true" if one faces the red background issue.

* Scaling issues: Problems with -shrink/-expand options in the command
  line (Issue #1 listed on the Known Issues page for Reader 8.1.1) as
  well as with "Custom" printing in the dialog have been fixed in
  Reader 8.1.2.

* Reader does not remember last chosen printer across sessions: Last
  chosen printer is now remembered between different sessions of the
  Reader in 8.1.2 release.

* Cannot pipe PDF as input to acroread: PDF contents can be read from
  stdin when using the -toPostScript option.

* Hardcoding of printer command: Earlier the printer command was
  hardcoded in the reader binary. This has been fixed in Reader 8.1.2
  to pick up the command from the PATH environment variable.
