Install Wine on your Linus computer. I have found it to work well in doing just that.
I understand Wine struggles with products from Adobe and MS Office. Now, I've been using Word 2010 because it meets my needs, I own the license, and I am not sharing Office documents with anyone else.
I wonder if Wine will handle my older version of Adobe Acrobat XI Standard. The problem here is the activation key will no longer work since Adobe shut that down.
