is it suitable for 16.04 lts?
Hi Robs ,
Yes, Master PDF editor can be installed and use in Ubuntu 16.04 lts as well. I have updated the steps in the article for ubuntu 16.04 lts
Thank you a lot for this. This is exactly what I was looking for as a replacement for Adobe DC. I have played with Ubuntu for a while, and finally kicked windows to the curb.
package architecture (amd64) does not match system (i386)
this is the error for 16.04 lts
