Hi
A page I try to access demands acroread > 9.4. So I've installed 9.5. But I seem to be unable to tell firefox or chromium how to use acroread.
Shouldn't there be a plugin for this ? (yes, I've installed acroread-browser-plugin)
In firefox it's not listed in the add-on plugins section. In chromium, chrome://plugins/ doesn't list it.
Remember that Acroread was removed from the distribution, because Adobe stopped maintenance for version 9. In fact, they no longer support Linux at all. So, in order to use acrobat, you have to install old and obsolete versions, possibly with security problems. Plugin support might be removed as well. I certainly removed the firefox acrobat plugin. When I do need to use acrobat, I download the PDF and use a sort of jailed acroread. Otherwise, I use viewers like evince instead. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
