I added Acrobat 5.0.5 a while ago, but 4.0 comes up when I access files on websites. I can't figure out how to prevent that. I manually entered 5.0.5 in netscape and mozilla, but it doesn't work. If I uninstall 4.0 will I lose the ability to create pdf files? Any thoughts? Using SuSE 8.0 with KDE 3.0.3. Thanks, Tom
Probably you have to change into the directory where you installed the latest version 5.0.5 and start it from there regards Leo Tom Nielsen wrote:

I installed acrobat 5.0.5 in mozilla by copying the nppdf.so file from /usr/local/Acrobat5/Browsers/intellinux to the plugins directory in mozilla. This makes mozilla use acrobat to view pdf files, but it will launch the first version of acroread it finds in its path, so I made a symlink ln -s /usr/local/Acrobat5/bin/acroread /usr/local/bin/acroread By default in SuSE, /usr/local/bin is before /usr/X11R6/bin in the user path, so this will make mozilla use acroread 5.0.5. As for creating pdf files, you can't use acrobat *reader* to do that at all. With the Adobe tools I think it's only the commercial Acrobat suite that can do that. You can do it in kde (print to pdf) and StarOffice and elsewhere, but those programs use different tools. regards Anders

When I installed, I upgraded, which replaced 4. It's worked fine for me.

Same here.

ln -s /usr/local/Acrobat5/bin/acroread /usr/local/bin/acroread
I just made a symlink to nppdf.so in the plugins directory of mozilla, and it has worked without the additional symlink. Maybe it's because it replaced 4. -- Joe & Sesil Morris New Tribes Mission Email Address: Joe_Morris@ntm.org Web Address: http://www.mydestiny.net/~joe_morris Registered Linux user 231871 God said, I AM that I AM.

Yup. See what I wrote above. //Anders
