How to change the pdf reader being used.
I want to change my seamonkey browser to use a reader other than Adobe Reader for pdfs. I searched about:config and on web but cannot find where to change it. Configuration is in signature. Seamonkey version: 2.17 User agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:20.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/20.0 SeaMonkey/2.17 Build identifier: 2013033000 Any help will be appreciated.

Russ With SeaMonkey open press F1, navigate to the Customizing SeaMonkey section, then activate the Browser Preferences link. Activate the Helper Applications link, and read the section on Helper Applications. -- openSUSE 12.3 (64-bit) KDE 4.10.2 Thunderbird Daily 23.0a1 ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

On the SeaMonkey menu bar, select [Edit Preferences]. 2. On the Preferences window, select [Browser Helper Applications]. 3. On the Helper Applications pane, scroll down to Adobe Acrobat. You will see several entries. (I get 7.) 4. If you place your cursor over an entry on the left under Cojntent Type without clicking, you will get a tooltip with the MIME type. You likely want application/pdf). Left-click on the entry you want. 5. On the right under Action, open the selection list by left-clicking on the button with the down-pointing triangle. 6. Select Other. 7. On the Select Helper Application window, either select an application from the scrolling list or else select the Browse button to navigate to the application you want to use. 8. Select OK buttons to apply your change and close the windows. -- David E. Ross http://www.rossde.com/ Are taxes too high in the U.S.?
