I'm running SuSE 10 (DVD). I have Adobe Acrobat Reader 7.0 installed and the plugin is set up in /opt/MozillaFirefox/lib/plugins/ nppdf.so -> /usr/X11R6/lib/Acrobat7/Browser/intellinux/nppdf.so I have verified that the plugin is active with about:plugins When loading, all Firefox displays is a gray screen, it does not load acroread. However, I can save the page, and read it with Acroread.
I had a problem with bringing up PDFs through Firefox. They just didn't come up even though the plug-ins looked fine. I ended up removing the acroread plug-in via Edit->Preferences->Downloads->Plug-ins Afterwards PDFs show up fine via Firefox using acroread even though acroread does not show up in the plug-ins list! (Firefox does ask me first, though, if I want to download the file or view it via acroread.) -- Marshall Lake -- mlake@mlake.net -- http://mlake.net
