Try running Thunderbird under strace.
It can be told to record only open calls.
To get the same environment,
you might put something like this in the /usr/bin directory:
file pigeon:
#!/usr/bin/sh
exec strace -o /tmp/strace.out trace=%file thunderbird $*
Tweaks by the better-informed are welcome,
e.g. does $* need "quotes"?
BTW suggesting that OP use another pdf reader
or save the file first does not really help.
He already knows how to do that.
Such suggestions are basically telling him to give up.
A friend of mine, whenever I have any trouble at all with my computer,
suggests I get a Mac. I find it annoying.
Color me unimpressed with your somewhat-contrived equivalence. We have here a
OSS-based-linux distribution mailing list, and there is nothing unusual with us
providing equivalent and helpful OSS solutions which we have far more
experience with. That is different from asking someone to go buy another
computer that hides the problems, and gives the user a false sense of security.
What is annoying is the OP ignoring something as simple as a misnamed piece of
software, and continuing to use it for whatever reason, even when he claims to
have always thought it was something else. Beyond the name, he could have
learnt about other software which would have been easier to use, and does not
come with all sorts of restrictions.
According to OP: "Ocular reads the pdf's as well".
Clearly OP can use Okular, but does not want to.
OP has his reasons for wanting to use Acrobat,
among them that he uses Acrobat at work.
That is something he might or might not be able to change
and might or might not be useful if he does.
To the best of my knowledge,
missspeling Ockuler is not a deadly sin.
Even if using Okular were the ideal choice,
there is hardly anything wrong with trying
to discover what went wrong with Acrobat.
In any case, this little argument is not helping OP either.
