[Bug 1191292] [NEW] Acrobat Reader doesn't show up in "Open with"-dialog

 

Public bug reported:

I installed the acroread package and although I can start the
application itself, I can not rightclick on a file and select "Open with
Acrobat Reader"; the option doesn't show up.

But if I fix /usr/share/applications/acroread.desktop accorting to
http://ubuntugenius.wordpress.com/2012/06/18/ubuntu-fix-add-program-to-
list-of-applications-in-open-with-when-right-clicking-files-in-nautilus/
so that it contains the line "Exec=acroread %f" (note the %f), then
Acrobat Reader shows up.

I expect not to be forced to manually change a .desktop file to be able
to open files with Acrobat Reader.
