You can always know what works in wine if you check 
http://appdb.winehq.com/ out :-)

Why did you need wine to run Acrobat 5 when Adobe has a native Linux 
port of Acrobat 5?

It is like running Mozilla under wine. Ofcourse it works (perfectly I

Office XP doesn't work with standard wine. But it works using Code 
Weavers Cross Over Office 2.0 Although Cross over office is a 
proprietary product and is not free. 


And NO I don't it that bad!
