revBrowser : Problems with PDFs when Acrobat's Pdfviewer plugin is installed
Hello everyone, Could anybody please confirm this : (perhaps this is a known issue, please forgive me then) - when calling a Pdf file from my HD (and probably from the internet too) and you've got Adobe's PdfViewer plugin installed, revBrowser will open an ask file window - I first assumed it had something to do with the internet plugins installed on my Mac (and I was right afterwards) - when choosing a plugin from the opened "ask file window", revBrowser seems to do nothing I disabled Adobe's plugin, and voilà, revBrowser loaded the file ; I know revBrowser depends on Safari. The problem is to know if a user has installed Adobe's plugin in order to work with a Rev app. Could one gently ask the user to disable the plugin in order to work or just disabling the plugin temporarily from within the REV app and enabling when quitting (informing the user that one is changing temporarily his settings) ? Is there an accepted workaround or what do you think ? I'm on a Mac, PPC, G4 PB ; does revBrowser have the same issues with pdf's on Windows machines ?

Hi Christian, On a Mac, use a player to display PDF files. That will solve your problem.

Hi Christian: I ran into a related (but different) situation with revBrowser some time ago. In my experience it seemed that Macs would *not* display PDFs within Safari unless the pdfviewer plugin was installed. I found in that situation that default behavior without the plugin was the browser would hand off the PDF to Preview. I believe in general you can't rely on the pdfviewer plugin being installed. I'm curious how you were able to get PDFs to show up with the plugin disabled. When you disable the plugin, will Safari continue to display PDFs?

Re: revBrowser : Problems with PDFs when Acrobat's Pdfviewer plugin is installed
This changed, either with 10.4 or with Safari 2, can't remember which. If the Adobe Reader plug-in is not installed, Safari will display PDFs within a regular window, using the same engine as Preview, and giving a right-click option of 'Open in Preview'.

Re: revBrowser : Problems with PDFs when Acrobat's Pdfviewer plugin is installed
Hello Scott, Ian, If the Adobe Reader plug-in is not installed, Safari will display PDFs within a regular window, you mean a regular Safari window ? and yes, the right-click gives the option "Open in Preview"... but this option does not show up in revBrowser. I have Schubert|it (http://www.schubert-it.com/pluginpdf/) PDF Browser plugin installed too ; in the development environment revBrowser calls this plugin instead of Safari's... I was pleased that it did not create any problems until... I did a standalone. In my standalone my app keeps crashing with this plugin... :-( So I manage disabling temporarily these 2 plugins ; perhaps this will change in future releases of revBrowser...

Re: revBrowser : Problems with PDFs when Acrobat's Pdfviewer plugin is installed
Friends, On hinduismtoday.com/digital we distribute an application that allows users to the the Hinduism Today Digital Magazine online. The magazine is PDF based. We launch the PDFs using the default PDF viewing application usually Preview.app or Adobe Reader. Just call the PDF with Launch, this will solve this problems. Yes, this will launch an external application to open a PDF file but users are used to that with PDFs and it beats dealing with plugins crashing webkit.
