Save a copy - file rights

Hi,

When you save a copy of a pdf file under linux, the file rights are "rw- --- ---".
Adobe Reader 7 don't use the system umask.
This is a problem when documents are shared.

Does anybody know how can I change the default rights of a saved file?

Regards,

Cedric Verkleeren

Get and read almost any Linux/Unix book that includes commands.

Until you do that, you can use the "man" command to look up individual 
commands.

Changing access rights to a file (after its been saved) is done using 
the chmod command. Try "man chmod". A short version from "chmod ++help"

Either of the following will work:
	chmod 644 filename
	chmod go+r filename
