Re: [newbie] Problem with Acrobat Plugin with Mozilla
Hi Paul, Are you sure that the nppdf.so in your $mozilla/plugins is the 7.0 one. I didn't use the script to install the plugin, instead I manually did that. I am not sure what's your problem because I installed the AR 7 through RPM, but after the installation when I opened some pdf files embeding in FireFox, it directly went the old version AR 5. I have to manully removed the 5.0 one and installed the 7.0 one of nppdf.so. Also, you may find something useful at Adobe.com http://busca.adobe.com/search?site=AdobeCom&client=AdobeCom&filter=0&output=xml_no_dtd&requiredfields=&getfields=&proxystylesheet=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.adobe.com%2Fspecial%2Fsearch%2Fadobecom.xsl&restrict=Adobe_com&q=plug-in+not+found+error&x=0&y=0 Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Thanks, Q.H.. AR 7.0 can be launched correctly from the command line and "which acroread" gives me /usr/bin/acroread. Any further ideas? Paul Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

HI Paul, Could the AR 7.0 itself be launched? If not you might need to reinstall it. Or I guess you didn't import it into your PATH. What will a "which acroread" in command line say? I remember I made a symbloic link ../AR7.0/bin/acroread to /usr/bin/acroread to insure it's in my PATH. Or check http://plugindoc.mozdev.org/linux.html, you may find something useful there.

If you dig down the directory Adobe 7/Browser/intellinux, you'll find you'll find a script : "install_browser_plugin". Run it for every browser you have.
