You can download Adobe Acrobat Reader from http://www.savewealth.com/support/acrobat/linux (linux-ar-405.tar.gz). I installed it in /usr/local. 1. Go into Mozilla > Edit > Preferences > Navigator > Helper Applications. 2. Click "New Type" 3. Description of Type = pdf viewer (or whatever) 4. File Extension = PDF 5. MIME Type = application/pdf 6. Application to Use = //usr/local/Acrobat4/bin/acroread (or the path to where your "acroread" shell script resides). Now if I enter the URL (http://www.epic.org/privacy/consumer/MS_complaint.pdf) in Mozilla it opens with Acrobat Reader.
