Here is a command you will need to use to install Adobe PDF reader on command terminal

sudo apt-get install acroread

You can also install the reader as well as the plugin for FireFox like so

Moving prestashop to another host is an easy process but can also make your head spinning especially if your site is using Smarty templates.

To move the site and make it work you only have to follow the following steps

1) Move all the files (use FTP or any other method)
2) Export and import the database to the new server.
3) Navigate to site/config/settings.inc.php and update the database details. Remember to update the __PS_BASE_URI__ as well to reflect your current settings.
4) If you are using Smarty templates, MAKE SURE you enable write permissions for the entire folder.

NOTE:
Be careful with permissions step if you are going live

Been having issues with link buttons on IE and found this solution that may help someone too..

Had this link button in one of the projects i have been working on that didn’t work

<a href='someurl.com'><button title='click me'></button></a>

The solution for this, which i think its a bit more clean was to use the JavaScript window.location to get around the problem on IE:

<a href='someurl.com'><button title='click me' onclick='window.location="someurl.com"'></button></a>

this worked fine and solved my issues.

You could also try one of the following options:

<input type="button" onclick="top.window.location='someurl.com'"> ( if in frame)
 
<input type="button" onclick="window.open('someurl.com')"> (To open a new window)
